Hydrogel Butt Injections

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)?

A: Hydrogel Butt Injections

The reason it is hard to find a surgeon who does these injections is because it is not approved by the FDA.  There have been many serious complications described.

We perform Natural Fill which is using your own fat to enhance your buttocks.  This is done without general anesthesia.

Difference Between Brazilian Butt Lift and the Buttocks Augmentation by Fat Grafting?

I am interested in a Brazilian Butt Lift or Buttock Augmentation with Fat Grafting. Are there any differences between these 2 procedures?

A: Difference Between Brazilian Butt Lift and the Buttocks Augmentation by Fat Grafting?

Thanks you for your question.  There is no difference - a Brazilian Butt Lift is a Buttocks Augmentation with fat.  There are many different terms out there for autologous fat transfer.  We refer to our autologous fat transfers as Natural Fill since it is your own fat being used to fill your buttocks, breasts, hands, or face.

Very Very Flat Butt, Considering BBL or Implants. What Do You Recommend For My Case?

I a very very flat butt, its horrible.I been using padded panties since I was a very young girl. I’m now 39, I always kept more or less in shape, I worked out and nothing, recently I have just gain over 70 pounds putting me at 200 pounds. After a year of depression I have decided to do a BBL. My question is, if I have an extreme flat butt, would a BBL be ok or would it be better to just get implants. My second question is, should I get the implants or BBL before loosing the weight or after.

A: BBL is ALWAYS more Natural and Lower Maintenance than an Implant

Hi there-

It is often necessary when seeking advice on forums such as this one, to separate what you are told because it is in the surgeon's best interests from what is being told to you because it is objectively what is in the best interests of the average patient with a similar question.

So the best information would come from those having lost of experience with both options, right?

There can be no doubt that if you could gather all surgeons in a room and ask them all the question of safety, natural appearance of the result, and maintenance over time, that those surgeons with the most experience in buttock enhancement procedures nationally would tell you that the Brazilian Butt Lift is the way to go.

The outcomes are more natural because they are achieved with your own fat. And in experienced and skilled hands, most surgeons have a resorption rate of 15-20%. The risk of infection is MUCH lower than with implants, and you will not need to have the operation re-done every 5 years or so, as is often the case with implants.

I personally perform both procedures, but because of the above, believe that implants are a better option for women only if they are not a candidate for BBL.
