Are the Glutimax Creams & the Brand New Booty Pills Safe to Use As a Alternative 4 Butt Augmentation?

There are alot of pills and creams such as the two I mentioned above that different sites offer as a alternative for butt and breast enhancements besides surgery and I was wondering if they are safe, legal and effective to use?

A: Are the Glutimax Creams & the Brand New Booty Pills Safe to Use As a Alternative 4 Butt Augmentation?

Hype, waste of time, waste of money, wallet biopsy, BS, baloney, bamboozlement, bill of goods, bunco, balderdash, baloney, bull, bunk, drivel, empty talk, gibberish, hogwash, hooey, hot air, poppycock, rubbish, silliness, chicanery, con, con game, cover up, deception, fast one, flimflam, gyp, humbug, hustle, jive,put-on, racket, rip-off, run around, scam , sham, shell game, snow job, spoof, stunt, swindle, misrepresentation , pretense, ruse, sell, sham,smoke and mirrors, snow job - That just about sums it!

Stop and ask yourself, if this junk really worked, WHY would it selectively enlarge your behind? Why would it not enlarge every other part which contained fat?

Don't waste your money unless you really like subsidizing such businesses.

Why Do All the Doctors in the US Have Negative Opinion About Butt Injections Fillers and the Doctors in Latin America Do Not?

I respect and appreciate every answer from doctors on this website. I am taking everything into consideration. I just need to ask one more question I do not understand. I think its just strange that all the North America doctors are against, fillers/PMMA/etc butt injections, while Latin America doctors swear by them. When I say Latin America doctors, I mean the good ones, the medical board approved ones.This PMMA butt injection procedure must have been approved by some medical association right?

A: Why Do All the Doctors in the US Have Negative Opinion About Butt Injections Fillers and the Doctors in Latin America Do Not? -

Great question. First, there are no absolutes in Medicine - we should never use "ALL", always, never, etc - there are always exception. Second, I would venture to say that NOT "all" South American surgeon were polled, as you state, doing so would be a very expensive polling task, but the Internet has provided you with a collection of those who ACTIVELY MARKET such injections.

Assuming that the level of training and experience between American Plastic surgeons and "ALL" South American supporters of Silicone - PMMA - Hydrogel and WHATCHUMIGHTCALLIT buttock injections is equivalent (a point I will not concede), what separates us from them?  This point is VERY hard for me to concede - a ferocious 99% unfair medico legal system of hungry, never wrong personal injury lawyers. While all humans are flawed, some much more than others and succumb to doing things which are ethically reprehensible, these doctors ARE punished and put out of business by our corrupt and omnipresent legal system. If we do stupid things to our patients we will be sued out of existence. In South America they do NOT have such a legal system. As a result, while a LOT of great surgical techniques and innovations come from great South American surgeons , unfortunately, so do a lot of crappy results in human experimentation by poorly trained and unethical physicians.

If you believe that American surgeons are that stupid and inexperienced and want to play the South American lottery - that is definitely your choice, as poor as it is.

Silicone Injections to the Buttocks 8 Years Ago, Have Developed Knots, Should I Be Concerned?

I had 9 silicone injections to my buttocks in 2003. I have developed knots. I do not have pain and I am not sickly should I be concerned.

A: Silicone Injections to the Buttocks 8 Years Ago, Have Developed Knots, Should I Be Concerned?

The popularity of Silicone injections for augmentation (Face, Lips, Nose, Buttocks etc) comes in waves of increasing and receding popularity. It is truly reflective of stupid human nature and greed that many of us lack a strong sense of learning from past mistakes while others are devoid of any ethical considerations on what they inflict on a fellow human being.

Silicone is NOT Silicone is NOT Silicone. The vast majority of buttock augmentations are done with industrial grade silicone which was supposed to end up caulking a bathtub, shower or kitchen sink NOT end up inside a human being. As a result, there is ALWAYS scarring (nodules) which in some case feels like your are sitting on marbles or ball bearings. In many cases the surface is dimpled and discolored. Removal of scar lumps is associated with severe and permanent scarring and dimpling requiring many reconstructive procedures.

In your case, you need to consult with several Plastic surgeons and see what is the best choice for you. Either way, the choice will not be easy.  Truly regrettable.
