"There's a kind of low-key genius..." Jeffrey Wells, Hollywood-Elsewhere.com

From aad.org, a report on plastic surgery:
"Often, HIV-positive patients with lipoatrophy feel stigmatized and become depressed. The patients in the study were happy with their results, and many felt that the treatments helped to improve their quality of life," Dr. Jones said. "Liquid silicone is almost an ideal filler, but it is the least forgiving of all fillers. Since it is permanent, it must be used correctly and with good judgment. Although it works well for a variety of indications, it is best reserved for emotionally devastating conditions such acne scarring and HIV facial lipoatrophy where other fillers may not work as well."
There are many other types of fillers, including the following that are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and are widely available:
* Purified collagen from cattle and humans is most often used to treat very fine wrinkles around the eyes and mouth, deep lines and creases, depressed scars such as those from acne or chicken pox and to add volume to thin lips. Results last three to nine months.
* Hyaluronic acid gel may be used to treat lines around the mouth and to plump lips. Results last three to six months.
* Poly-L-lactic acid beads are commonly used to replace lost facial fat. Results last up to two years.
* Self-donated fat, or fat transfer, is most often used to treat deep lines, deep scars, hollow cheeks and restore contour to a face. Results last one to three years.
