Yes, the majority of the Aquamid hydrogel can be removed, but it cannot be completely removed.
Immediately after the injection, the Aquamid can be removed by suction through a small incision. As time passes and Aquamid becomes integrated within the tissue, the hydrogel has to be surgically excised under aseptic conditions.
Fortunately, Alpha Health Asia has encountered very few instances in the hundreds and hundreds of Aquamid cases we have been involved with where the patient requests Aquamid be removed. The most import aspect to removing Aquamid: prevent the need for removal.
