Members shared personal experiences with facial fillers in response to a question about dealing with facial changes, likely related to HIV-associated facial wasting or medication side effects. Several members mentioned treatments like Sculptra and Juvederm, noting that numbing is used so it does not hurt much, though assistance programs typically only cover treatments every two years and results last around six months. A recurring theme was the emotional journey toward self-acceptance, with many members finding that while fillers offered temporary relief, embracing and loving themselves as they are became the most meaningful and lasting solution.
