Candidates for Silicone Biopolymer Injection Removal 

Ideally, you may want to have your silicone biopolymer injections removed as early as possible after injection. Silicone fillers are likely to migrate or dissipate from the initial point of injection - outward to surrounding fatty tissue. Silicone injections can be introduced into the subcutaneous fat layer or into the deeper muscle. Candidates for open or closed silicone injection removal are those that have symptoms from the silicone injections including pain, discomfort, warmth or burning sensation, itching, redness, or skin changes. Silicone injections can cause granulomas, nodularity, and chronic soft tissue reaction. 

Recovery after Silicone Biopolymer Injection Removal

Recovery after silicone biopolymer injection removal is relatively straightforward, with optimal results seen within days or weeks after the surgery. Silicone injection removal targets the unwanted silicone fillers such as Biopolimero that were injected into the body or face; including the buttocks, hips, thighs, or pubis. Patients typically choose this procedure after experiencing complications such as inflammation, granulomas, or migration of the material.

After the surgery, it is normal to experience swelling, bruising, and tenderness in the treated area. Compression garments are usually recommended to minimize swelling, improve circulation, and support the healing tissues. These garments should be worn continuously for the first one or two weeks after surgery. 

Most patients can resume light daily activities within 3 to 7 days post-surgery. Pain is generally well-managed with prescription medications. Results from silicone and biopolymer removal using liposuction become more visible as swelling subsides, typically within several weeks. Full removal of silicone or biopolymers may not always be possible in a single session, and additional procedures might be necessary.
