摘要

The growing use of non-biodegradable, unauthorized synthetic fillers presents a complex surgical challenge. This paper introduces a novel helium plasma-assisted method for the safe and effective removal of granulomas caused by synthetic, non-absorbable body modelants. These substances often mislabeled as “biopolymers” provoke chronic inflammation, fibrosis, and autoimmune responses due to their lack of biocompatibility. Resections using electrocautery are associated with significant thermal injury; in contrast, Plasma offers a low-thermal-impact alternative by utilizing helium plasma energy for precise dissection. Prioritizing en bloc resection, the method minimizes material migration and systemic complications. Clinically, it has shown reductions in postoperative pain, inflammatory markers, and autoimmune symptoms, along with improvements in function, appearance, and quality of life. This technique represents a significant advancement in the surgical management of synthetic filler complications combining advanced energy technology with a targeted, safety-focused approach.
