What does the removal of biopolymers involve?
It is a palliative surgery that aims to REDUCE the volume of polymer, liquid silicone, and methyl methacrylate from the skin, fat, and muscle without removing normal fatty tissue. The goal is to safeguard the patient’s health since biopolymers are substances NOT compatible with the body and can have serious consequences. At the same time, in some cases Dr. Pedro Dueñas does a lift to upgrade the patient´s esthetic. We do a technique with the use of technology, esthetic incisions, each case requires a previous evaluation.
95% of individuals affected by biopolymers in Colombia are women.

Through Law 2316 of 2023, an entire regulatory framework is established to protect victims of biopolymers in the country.
In 2022, the Colombian Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery conducted a systematic investigation on the subject. A total of 11 studies from Springer, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar databases were included. Results indicate that women are the most affected by the use of biopolymers. The most common complications include granulomas, hyperpigmentation, erythema, substance migration, and, in severe cases, pulmonary embolism. Treatment typically involves initial antibiotic therapy, with surgical removal of the shaping substance as a common procedure.
