The Blue Pacific study assessed the effect of injectable poly-
l-lactic acid (PLLA) (Sculptra; Dermik Laboratories, a business of Sanofi-Aventis U.S. LLC, Bridgewater, NJ, USA) for the treatment
of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated facial lipoatrophy. This case report describes a patient treated originally
with injectable PLLA in the Blue Pacific study, then retreated with injectable PLLA 12 months after completion of his initial
treatment sessions. Retreatment was well tolerated and resulted in a correction of facial lipoatrophy for a duration of 2 years
7 months.
