Biopolimer (tečni slikon) je jedino moguće ukloniti hirurškim putem jer se vezuje i prožima okolno tkivo. Biopolimer nije prirodan materijal, a nije ni biorazgradiv. Nije moguće da se u potpunosti ukloni, ali se može smanjiti volumen usana i ukloniti kvržice, čvorići i zadebljanja.

The reason for the removal of biopolymer may be aesthetic because of the deformation and the migration of the biopolymer itself, unnatural hardness of the lips, asymmetry, and appearance of the balls (granulomas) and knots. Another reason can be medical because biopolymers can cause swelling, pain, inflammatory process, infection, oozing of silicone substance, and even dying out of the tissue (necrosis).

The suture is done with biodegradable thread (VICRYL). The thread usually dissolves on its own, but if some parts remain, the surgeon will remove them during one of the check-ups.
