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

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.
