Silikon 1000 and Hydrogel Filler for Butt Augmentation

My father and I are the world's leaders in using liquid injectable silicone as a filler. Combined, we have been doing silicone for over 40 years. I believe it is the best filler in the hands of a well-trained expert. However, I do not recommend using ANY KIND OF FILLER for buttock augmentation. I do not think you will have natural-looking results.

I would HIGHLY advise against fillers (especially Silikon) for buttock augmentation. The volume required would necessitate hundreds of injections. This much silicone would likely result in foreign body granulomas which would be nearly impossible to remove. Furthermore the cost of this would be prohibitive. The better option would be to use your own body fat if available in sufficient quantity.

Please, please, please - do NOT have injections of fillers of any kind to your buttocks, whether its silicone, hydrogel or something else.  Not only have there been fatal complications from these procedures (Miss Argentina, for one), there is no FDA-approved filler for this use. Either use a fat transfer technique, or a solid silicone FDA-approved buttock implant. Your safety is the #1 concern.

Thanks for your question - There is no safe FDA approved filler for buttock augmentation in the United States that I am aware of. In our San Francisco area practice we have been using autologous fat grafting with excellent results. This means we perform liposuction and transfer that fat to your buttocks. Patients can have dramatic permanent improvement. Find a board certified plastic surgeon experienced with this technique. Good luck.

If you don't want to consider buttock implants, then fat transfer ("brazilian butt lift") is another option. However, with your height and weight, you may not have enough excess fat to build a full, round buttock.  In that case, you're right back to considering implants. Fillers do not have a good role in buttock augmentation and are fraught with problems.  I wouldn't chance it.

The era of silicone injections into tissue is far past and we have learned by sad experience that it is very bad for your tissues and long term damage. The only acceptable substance for buttocks injections for augmentation is fat. I agree with you that butt implants are not right because I have only seen people want to get them out after several years. Discuss this with a plastic surgeon only and then decide what is best for.

I would definitely not recommend any injectables. There are none that are considered safe. If I were you, I would read some of the posts by other patients asking about having these injectables removed due to lumpiness, scarring, pain, migration and discoloration. The usual problem is that these are extremely difficult to remove without causing even more disfiguration. Fat grafting aka The Brazilian Butt Lift is usually the best way to go. I actually have some of my patients gain 5-10 lbs to... more

There are no safe fillers for BUTTOCK ENHANCEMENT. You only options are: Buttock enhancement by fat transfer Buttock enhancement by buttock implant Buttock transfer by dermis fat graft

Permanent fillers, like the ones you mention, can be very dangerous and can cause permanent disfigurement. It is something that most plastic surgeons would not recommend or perform. Fat injection or butt implants can be safe and effective when performed by a plastic surgeon with experience in these areas. Do more research before you proceed, giving these other, safer options a chance. Good Luck!

The only safe, approved ways of buttock augmentation are fat grafting and implants. I see that you will not be good candidate for fat grafting, but stay away from other injections. As of today, they are not fully approved, and of course, silicone causes many complications.
