PAAG removal - what can be done?

November 24, 2024
Asked By:maria_eva

I had polyacrylamide gel injected into my hips 6 years ago. It became inflamed 2 years later, requiring multiple removal procedures. Despite its already 1 year w/o inflammation I still experience constant thigh pain, especially after activity. Ultrasound shows small gel remnants, causing discomfort. What can be done?
