Biopolymers and Their Risks: How to Reverse the Damage

Writer's picture: Xanato GroupXanato Group


Biopolymers, once promoted as quick and affordable cosmetic solutions, have proven to be one of the most dangerous practices in aesthetic medicine. These substances can cause severe physical and emotional harm to those who undergo clandestine procedures. This article explores the risks associated with biopolymers and the options for reversing their effects.

What Are Biopolymers?

Biopolymers are synthetic substances or petroleum derivatives injected to add volume to areas such as the buttocks, hips, and face. While they may initially offer aesthetic results, their composition is incompatible with the human body, leading to serious complications.

Risks Associated with Biopolymers

  1. Material Migration: Biopolymers can move to other parts of the body, causing deformities.

  2. Chronic Inflammation: The body reacts with constant inflammation in an attempt to reject the substance.

  3. Granuloma Formation: Hard, painful nodules form around the biopolymers.

  4. Severe Infections: Non-sterile conditions increase the risk of systemic infections.

  5. Embolism Risk: The substances can enter the bloodstream, causing fatal pulmonary or cerebral embolisms.

Biopolymer Removal: Is It Possible?

Removing biopolymers is a complex process that requires specialized surgeons. While complete removal is not always possible, advanced procedures have achieved significant results:

  1. Ultrasound Liposculpture: Used to fragment biopolymers and facilitate their removal.

  2. Open Surgery: In severe cases, surgical intervention is performed to extract the material and repair affected tissue.

  3. Complementary Treatments: Include anti-inflammatory therapies and medications to manage pain and prevent infections.

Possible Complications After Removal

  • Surgical Scars: Depending on the extent of the damage, scars may be visible.

  • Damage to Adjacent Tissue: Tissue damaged by biopolymers may be irreparable.

  • Irregular Aesthetic Results: Removal may leave asymmetrical areas.

Prevention: How to Avoid Biopolymers

  1. Research Your Surgeon: Verify they are certified by recognized entities such as the Colombian Society of Plastic Surgery (SCCP).

  2. Avoid Suspicious Offers: Extremely low prices are often a red flag for unsafe procedures.

  3. Consult Accredited Clinics: Only undergo procedures in facilities that meet proper medical standards.
