In previous posts, I addressed lipodystrophy and explained that people with HIV tend to develop the disease both due to the virus circulating in the body and due to the adverse effects of the medications themselves. ⠀ But doctor, can HIV-positive patients undergo aesthetic procedures to treat the problem? 🤔 ⠀ Yes! With the disease controlled, undetectable viral load, and preserved immunity, HIV-positive individuals can and should invest in improving their physical appearance to boost self-esteem and, consequently, achieve more positive treatment outcomes, including in their personal and professional relationships. ⠀ HIV control is fundamental for the patient to undergo plastic surgery, requiring pre-operative clearance from the infectious disease specialist who monitors the patient. 😉 ⠀ #cirurgiaplastica #cirurgiãoplastico #saude #lipodistrofia #lipoatrofia #autoestima"
