Abstrakt: The development of new drugs to counter human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection has led to an increase in lipodystrophic syndrome among HIV-infected individuals receiving combination therapy. Bio-Alcamid TM is a recently developed polymeric substance that can be implanted to compensate for adipose effects. We have implanted this substance in 73 patients with up to three years' follow-up. The aesthetic results were deemed excellent by both physicians and patients. No implant dislocation, implant migration, granuloma, allergic reaction or intolerance were recorded.
