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. They were withdrawn from the market more than 20 years ago, it was observed that, over time, they caused more or less serious problems of: displacement, rejection, pain,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 few plastic surgeons in Spain, in Clínica Sanza we have been removing biopolymers from the lips of our patients for more than 30 years.
