Bio- Alcamid

Dear Sabah I have seen several patients whom have had bio-alcamid injected by other physicians.  They have been told at the time of their injection that it can be removed and yet when they returned to the physician - the physician could not do it!!  With Warm Regards, Trevor M Born MD

Bioalcamid removal

Bio Alcamid is a permanent filler and would need to be removed surgically.  I know of no other way to get rid of it.  I hope this is helpful.

Bio-Alcamid safety in injections

Bio-Alcamid is a permanent filler that can be injected into the body. Unfortunately, a subset of patients may develop a severe inflammatory condition that is difficult to manage.
