Thank you for your question. As far as I'm aware, you should be able to have facial fillers without any concern. Discuss the matter with the doctor at your consultation to see if they have any concerns. Be sure to see a skilled provider.

Thank you for your question! There is no reason you should not get juvederm.  Hyaluronic acid fillers are a nice way to re-volumize the face and there are no contraindications with HIV or truimeq.  If you like the results you may want to consider longer acting fillers in the future. Best of luck!

Anthony Bentley, DO · Answer

Fillers have been used for lipoatrophy associated with HIV medications for over 15 years.  Sculptra obtained FDA approval for this use in 2004.  Of course, realize that this is a medical procedure and has some inherent risk.

Leonard Grossman, MD · Answer

There's no reason why you cannot receive fillers in the face. if your doctor recommends using Juvederm, then use Juvederm. But at the same time many patients use Sculptra which is a longer acting filler, which was in fact designed originally for the patients with HIV. Good luck from New York City
