Lesson Lipodystrophy
en español

What's it look like?

For most people, the changes are subtle. But for others, lipodystrophy can be quite disfiguring. Here are two pictures. The first shows the body changes that can occur, including extensive buildup of fat in the gut and on the back of the neck & shoulders, along with some loss of fat in the arms. The second shows a loss of fat in the face (facial lipoatrophy).
