I am considering Aquamid or Bio Alcamid for permanent buttocks filler. Do you think this is a safe option and if so, which of the above is the best and has fewer side effects and disadvantages?

Buttock fillers
Fat transfer remains the best filler for buttock enhancement. If you do not have enough fat consider implants.
Permanent fillers like silicone and hydrogel are illegal and a BAD idea.

Buttock Filler
Permanent fillers beware !!! Buttock, face, anywhere...I have removed enough from other "surgeons" to know it is not a good idea.

See a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon whom you trust and who is trusted in your community to discuss options!
Good luck!
