Enjoyed this Mark. I Have the same treatments done by Dr. P and he is amazing. His work is also done with total Love.
Thanks for this video.

thanks!
Hi Mark,
of course you are happy and i'm happy too for you.;)
I have facial wasting too (and legs and arms) and it's so sad but my virus is ok (indectatable) and that's great.
Perhaps, next hear i would do the facial treatament in the hospital (my social services pay that, thank God). ;))))
Thank you very much for you blog.
Lahaim ;))))))
P.S Sorry for my poor english
great stuff Mark, thanks for sharing. you look great. wonderful!
Absolutely wonderful, Mark! You looked good before but now great. I am so glad you were able to have the procedure done and that you were will to share it with us. I appreciate you so very much.
Wow. You lost at least 10 years. Thanks for sharing this process.
Hi,
I did it a couple of times, some years ago. I realy didn't need it then. However, now that I needed more I can't aford it. I wish by now insurance would cover it.
I did not only have facial wasting, but swelling of the parotid gland as well. I suffered from this for several years. I had radiation treatment to correct the swelling and fat transfer to correct the wasting. Its been years and I still look great. My plastic surgeon in Chicago (Dr. David Teplica) knows how to transfer fat into the face permanently. Thank you for allowing me to post.
hey mark you are lucky looks great i need the same ,have the same places as you and over 25 years with this too,after your last vid i got the butt shorts like them alot found some cheaper ones on ebay but like the site you had and thats the first place i got a pair.thanks so much for all you do...........take care
Ive been POZ since 2007. Im not on MEDS. Im wondering if facial wasting can occur without the use of HAART????
So is it the result of HAART or HIV itself??
Can someone answer me thins question ??
Cheers Drew
p.s. Love your Blog Mark Mwah xx
I had a couple of treatments of Sculptra admininsteredd by Dr. Benson. A few days of swelling but results are well worth it. Some friends noticed the difference, others thought I looked fine before. I noticed the difference and it really helped how I feel about my appearance. It has been 18 months and has been holding up good.
Brilliant Mark, and very well done! I have the privilege to work with Dr. Pierone in his Ft. Pierce office (part of the Nursing staff) and to see such positive results not only asthetically, but emotionally, is why I love my job. Thanks for sharing your treatment experience.
I have had 3 people tell me in the past month that "your face is looking really thin!" so I have been concerned about it as well - though I have a beard now and a friend pointed out to me that that fact and that I have lost weight due to working out and running has made my face thinner. Good stuff to know though - love your video blog, Mark!
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing. What a difference!! I'm sure this will be so helpful to others. :)
Great job, Mark. Although not a candidate for it, for me, for now, I am curious, how people get it covered. It must cost an arm and a leg and another half an arm or leg, for sure. Do they get private insurance to pay, Medicare? Do they have to scrounge up the money themselves?
