Removing Hydroxyapatite Implant from Forehead?

January 18, 2010
Asked By:rawdog1973 in california

6 months ago I had a surgeon remove a methyl methacrylate implant I had from a previous forehead contour (prominent brow). I asked the surgeon to ONLY use Hydroxyapatite if there was damage from the MMA being in there, as I did not want to have a third surgery, and he agreed. He used the HA and completely filled in the brow area and created a pronounced ridge across. I don't understand why and I'm very upset. He agreed it looked unusual in photos I sent. What options do I have at this point? How difficult would it be to remove?
