Some doctors say the biopolymers can't be complete removal and other doctors say liposuction can be performed to partially remove the harder part of pmma,. So I feel confused. So can any doctor clarify if lipo will be beneficial or an open surgery would be better? both lipo and open surgery. A bit confused with doctors say lipo and others say open surgery anyone give accurate information and what kind of lipo could be performed? Does any doctor in the UK perform the removal PMMA ?

Answer: Controversial answers regard lipo to removal of PMMA I hear this everyday from you ladies whom had illegal injections to your buttocks. Having done surgeries to correct/improve/try to remedy this very unfortunate medical issue, I have 3 surgery options. To be clear NO surgery or surgeon can EVER remove ALL these illegal products/substances. The concept is to lower the burden in volume to the body. Option 1: The most deforming and most invasive with longest difficult recover is attempted complete excision of the damaged tissue in hospital setting. since is can be very bloody surgery. As stated the recovery long and results are deforming thus needing future re building surgeries. Most expensive also. Option2: Lipo reduction/reshaping with larger bore lipo cannula under ultrasound guided removal. With lipo other areas to obtain clean fat to retransfer to help reshape buttock. Least deforming, faster recovery, less expense. May need more than 1 operation. Option 3: Combination of partial excision upper buttock and illegal injected tissues with mid/lower buttock lipo reduction/removal. Then lipo other body area for adding fat under ultrasound guided injections to reshape buttock. mid expense, mid recovery. Again the options are patient specific and never can any surgeon guarantee results. That is why virtual or in person examinations are paramount in deciding which option suits the patient. Hope this has helped you. Regards from South Miami Dr B
