Biopolymers, silicone and other substances extraction surgery on lips
English subtitled video
The operation to remove silicone and biopolymers from the lips that we perform at Clínica Sanza Barcelona is a delicate surgical procedure that requires experience. It consists of removing the products that cause deformities in the lips caused by infiltrations and aesthetic treatments that over time have undergone a process of transmutation, displacement or swelling.
Silicone or biopolymers are permanent fillers that have been widely used to augment lips and other areas of the body. More than 20 years ago they were withdrawn from the market, it was observed that, over time, they caused more or less serious problems of: displacement, rejection, pain, inflammation and even more serious problems of necrosis and embolism. This has created a new disease called “iatrogenic allogenosis“.
This plastic surgery operation is performed by very few plastic surgeons in Spain. At Clínica Sanza we have been removing biopolymers from the lips of our patients for more than 30 years.
WHERE DO WE OPERATE?
At Clínica Sanza we rely on the Sagrat Cor Hospital, part of the Quirónsalud group, to perform our surgical procedures.

PATIENT’S PROFILE
People who have undergone an aesthetical treatment of the lips with adverse results or lips deformation due to injected substances, threads or prostheses.
PROCEDURE
Products that have caused lumps, tumors and malformation problems caused by the injection of substances in the lips and surroundings, mainly with biopolymers, silicones, methacrylates, paraffins and many others are extracted .
The insertion of these substances has led to the appearance of a new disease called iatrogenic alogenosis. That is the reason why it is important to make a good choice when we decide who we trust in regards to our health and our desires for aesthetic improvement, even more so when it comes to solving the adverse effects derived from that malpractice.
