Lipodystrophy has my face looking skeletal which seriously affected my self-esteem and made me embarrassed and fearful of social interaction. Dr. Blick's Sculptra treatments renewed my confidence and let me value myself again. As a long-term HIV/AIDS survivor, I am grateful to have Dr. Gary as my healthcare provider and friend.
Our surgical restorative and cosmetic therapies can help you look and feel like yourself again.
HIV lipodystrophy (also known as facial lipoatrophy) is when patients unintentionally lose facial fat due to HIV infection, HIV medications, or its complications. We can counteract these effects with a semi-permanent restorative solution.
Dermal fillers like Sculptra restore fullness, shape, and contour to the face – resulting in a softer, more youthful appearance while reducing stigma from yourself and others.
While many people undergo Botox as a cosmetic treatment, Botox is approved for use by the FDA as a treatment for muscle and nerve disorders, including migraines, circulation issues, inflammatory skin diseases, difficulty swallowing, and certain blistering lesions. Botox can also enhance the effectiveness of the Sculptra treatment for HIV patients.
If you or a loved one could benefit from cosmetic treatment, give us a call to schedule a consultation.
