Facial lipoatrophy in patients with HIV is a well-established adverse effect of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), further augmenting stigma and decreasing treatment adherence. Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the correction of facial fat loss in this population. Unfortunately, needle obstruction from microparticles is a common obstacle that clinicians may encounter during this procedure. We describe a simple and effective way to mitigate this problem by utilizing a water bath to warm the filler prior to injection.

Facial hair in women generally is considered to be unwanted. The presence of facial hair in women and its associated conditions, treatmens options, and management strategies are not commonly discussed in most medical care settings. The United States military, which includes more than 220,000 active-duty female service members, has strict and specific grooming standards, which for many years have been a hot topic focused primarily on male service members. Facial hair in women is not addressed in military grooming standards across the services, but one can postulate that the expectation is for women not to have facial hair and to adhere to grooming standards. Women can be impacted considerably by pseudofolliculitis barbae (PFB) as well as hirsutism and its many causes. This comprehensive review discusses management options for women with facial hair in the military; however, the treatment options addressed also are applicable to civilians. Given the psychosocial implications and the variety of treatment options available, it is crucial for health care practitioners to be aware of the diagnosis and management of this common medical condition and its social implications.
