We can imagine.
You probably thought it was safe, but it wasn’t ❌.
You didn’t research about it and decided to apply the filler.
We imagine how hard it must be for you and the fear you must feel after learning about its dangers.
However, in this article we are going to tell you what you should do to remove biopolymers and the most important facts about them.
If you have not applied the substance and you just came in out of curiosity, we recommend you to read the complete article to prevent this from happening to you.
✅ What are biopolymers?
They are substances derived from petroleum and can be of both vegetable and synthetic origin. The latter is not absorbable, so it remains permanently.
The most common synthetic biopolymers are derived from silicone polyvinyl methacrylate or polymethyl siloxane.
It is important to note that these types of fillers are totally illegal, causing various complications in the patient.
The most common uses of biopolymers are in the filling of lips and buttocks. Therefore, if you have had a procedure in these areas and the material is still there, I am sorry to tell you that you have had a non-absorbable material placed.
✅ Biopolymers: how to remove them?
If you have not presented any symptoms, we recommend you not to perform any procedure in those areas to prevent the biopolymer from displacing or activating an immune response of the body.
For a successful biopolymer removal, surgery must be performed. Therefore, several sessions are necessary in order to remove as much of the product as possible.
Unfortunately, biopolymers can’ t be removed completely, so in order to make the process easier for you, we recommend counseling with specialists in surgery and psychological therapy.
This process requires a lot of emotional support. That is why in Belleza Latina we offer you everything in our hands to help you in your process
✅ Biopolymers and their consequences
When we inject an unknown substance into our body, it creates a reaction that causes an inflammatory cascade. This in turn creates the following symptoms: inflammation, pain, color change in the applied area, itching, fever and infection.
This is at best 😞.
The most dangerous part is when at the moment of application a blood vessel is perforated, which causes the substance to pass into the circulation, reaching the pulmonary level and causing the death of the patient.
However, there are some cases in which there are no symptoms.
This is because the body encapsulates the substance as a form of protection. This encapsulation appears as granulomas or fibrosis and 5 years may pass without any discomfort.
In addition, the longer the substance remains in the body, the more difficult it is to detect and remove.
✅ How to avoid this?
If you want to be sure that you are injecting substances that are safe for you, you should get advice and research about the material that will be placed in your body.
It doesn’t matter if you have a thousand doubts about it, you must know for sure how your procedure will be.
Do your research on the expiration date, the training of the medical staff and if the clinic has the necessary permits.
In general, these illegal procedures are often performed clandestinely at a more affordable price.
But no rebate is worth it when it comes to your life 🙌
So if you’re thinking about getting fillers, there are healthy options with health permits and fully absorbable.
