Medical conditions associated with this disorder can either be acquired or inherited. The degree of severity and the specific areas of the body affected can vary greatly among lipodystrophies. Individuals affected with this disease present a variety of symptoms ranging from cosmetic to life-threatening complications. The loss of adipose tissue is often referred to lipoatrophy rather than lipodystrophy by some physicians.
