Dermal Fillers for Lipoatrophy

Most people want to lose weight. However, that isn't true of people who are suffering from an illness that is causing unnatural weight loss. People suffering from HIV, for example, may begin to lose an excessive amount of weight. This is a condition called lipoatrophy which can result in sunken-in cheeks and other negative appearance alterations. Dermal fillers may be the solution for some of these people to consider. Any dermal filler can be used to plump up the face where fat has been lost to disease. However, Radiesse seems to be the preferred method of treatment. This is due to several factors including the fact that Radiesse itself and some doctors separate will be willing to offer reduced rates on Radiesse injections for people who are suffering from lipoatrophy as a result of HIV infection.
