Summary : Key Points:
- Lipoatrophy may not be fully reversible, so consider avoiding or preemptively switching responsible agents
- Pharmacologic interventions to treat lipodystrophy have demonstrated limited effectiveness and may introduce new issues

- Switching or withdrawal of thymidine analogues is the only intervention proven to partially restore subcutaneous fat
