This case highlights the journey of a 29-year-old Hispanic female who sought care after suffering serious complications from foreign body injections to her buttocks and hips. She was told the material was “biopolymer” and underwent only one injection session. Over time, she developed persistent pain, burning, itching, and noticeable migration of the injected substance. These symptoms worsened progressively and were accompanied by anxiety and hypertension, which her physicians believed could be linked to her body’s autoimmune response to the foreign material. Her condition significantly impacted her quality of life and mental health. After a comprehensive evaluation, she elected to undergo surgical removal of the biopolymer. The operation lasted approximately five hours under general anesthesia. During the procedure, two drains were placed and subsequently removed at the two-week mark. Postoperatively, she wore her compression garment for six weeks as part of her recovery protocol. Her incisions have healed well, and while her scars have faded, they will never completely disappear. Most importantly, her pre-operative symptoms—including pain, burning, and itching—resolved fully following surgery. Today, she is healthy, symptom-free, and deeply relieved to be free of the toxic material. This case underscores the severe risks associated with illegal injections and highlights the transformative results that can be achieved through safe surgical removal.

This case describes the journey of a 29-year-old Hispanic female who presented with severe complications after undergoing foreign body injections in her buttocks and hips. The patient was informed the product was “biopolymer,” but shortly after treatment she developed pain, burning, itching, and migration of the material. Over time, her symptoms worsened and were associated with anxiety and hypertension, likely linked to her body’s autoimmune reaction to the foreign substance. These complications severely impacted her daily life, causing both physical and emotional distress. After consultation, she elected to undergo biopolymer removal surgery. The procedure lasted approximately five hours under general anesthesia. Two surgical drains were placed and removed at the two-week follow-up. As part of her recovery, she wore a compression garment for six weeks. Her surgical scars have faded with time, though they will never fully disappear. Most importantly, all of her preoperative symptoms—including burning, itching, and pain—completely resolved after surgery. Today, she is pain-free, healthy, and regaining her confidence. This case demonstrates the dangers of illegal biopolymer buttock injections and the life-changing results that can be achieved through safe, expert surgical removal. Patients suffering from buttock injection complications should know that biopolymer removal surgery can restore comfort, function, and quality of life.
