ABSTRACT
The removal of fillers used for soft-tissue augmentation is an issue of concern, as the possible need for extensive surgery to remove fillers deters their use by many surgeons. Several studies have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of polyacrylamide hydrogel (Aquamid) gel, but to date no report has described its removal after 10 years. Here, we report a case of Aquamid removal. A 33-year-old woman, who had undergone forehead augmentation 12 years previously with an Aquamid injection, visited the department of plastic and reconstructive surgery of our medical center due to a severe forehead contour irregularity. Removal of 20 mL of excess gel was performed by direct incision and squeezing under local anesthesia. Our experience shows that Aquamid removal is possible, but should be performed with appropriate surgical precautions.
