Biopolymer removal is a complex surgical procedure that requires a high level of precision and experience. It can be performed under local or general anaesthesia, depending on the amount and location of the injected material. The surgeon carefully removes the biopolymer from the tissue, preserving the surrounding structures as much as possible and reducing the risk of further complications.
Why is it important to remove biopolymers?
- They can cause inflammation, pain and infections
- They often lead to uneven results and deformities
- They damage health and skin quality in the long term
- They are not biodegradable, which means the body cannot eliminate them naturally
Recovery and results
Recovery depends on the extent of the procedure, but most patients can return to lighter activities within a few days. Swelling and mild discomfort are expected during the first few weeks, while the final results can be seen after a few months, once the tissue has fully healed.
