Hydrogel/silicone butt injections: is this safe and legal?

HK
hiss at 1st. kissApr 27, 2009

I was interested in enhancing my butt but I don't want surgery or anesthesia. I was looking on line and found something called Hydrogel injections but its hard to find a surgeon who does this. Is this an effective way to augment the butt area, and where is it available (in the northeast)?
