Lipodystrophy can significantly impact a patient's quality of life and metabolic health. Patients may experience insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and increased cardiovascular risk. The psychosocial effects, including body image disturbances and stigma, should not be underestimated. These clinical implications necessitate a comprehensive approach to management, including monitoring and addressing metabolic derangements.
