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)?

Hydrogel butt injections are extremely dangerous and illegal to inject in the US. Not FDA approved.
Many patients call our office asking for the hydrogel injections. There isn't any safe or legal ways to increase butt size without surgery. Brazilan butt lift used your own fat cells to enhance the butt. The abdomen is liposuctioned and the fat is used in the butt. If you are still considering PMMA or hydrogel injections, think twice about what you are injecting into your body. If you are against having surgery, forget about any butt procedures. ...

Don't even think about it!
Material other than your own fat can be dangerous to your health. This is a terrible procedure. Enhance your front not your back. Some one needs to develope padded shorts.

Avoid hydrogel injections into the butt
While it may sound appealing to beta gel injected into your butt and avoid surgery... However you need to realize. That this is not done by reputable surgeons because of the horrific complications that come from this procedure.
In our clinic we offer fat injections or butt implants (if the patient does not have sufficient fat)

Hydrogel not available for Buttock Enhancement in the US
Hydrogel is not avialble in the US.
Even if you can find medical grade hydrogel (Aquamid) to inject into the buttock it will cost several thousands of $ to inject 300-500 cc in each buttock.
The safety of hydrogel is not fully known yet.

Hydrogel Injections for Butt Augmentation-- Don't do it!
The reason it is hard to find a qualified Plastic Surgeon is because this hydrogel is not an FDA approved product for Butt Augmentation. Furthermore, media reports are not good, and some are terrifying. I have seen several patients who have been deformed by Hydrogel Injections by another practitioner. The sad thing is that non-physicians are engaged in providing this service. When things go wrong, they have no idea what to do.
If you desire Butt Augmentation, it is best to...

FIVE THINGS you must know about Hydrogel Buttock injections

Buttock enhancement with synthetic injections prone to complications
You have heard numerous warnings here of the possible risks associated with injection of synthetic materials, such as hydrogel, into the buttocks. Because of the potential danger and lack of approval from the FDA you will not find a reputable Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who performs such procedures. I have now treated serious complications in several patients at my hospital who have undergone Hydrogel injections in South America. But other substances such as liquid silicone and PMMA are...

Hydrogel and Silicon Injections not only the Worst option to enhance Butt, but the one that can destroy them
In Mexico the country where I practice it has been a big problem. In fact in many countries, injecting substances like oils, silicon and Hydrogel have been prohibited. They might become a big health problem. Actually there is a big chance to develop vein thrombosis, Necrosis, persistent swelling, Scar tissue in blocks, discoloration, and poor circulation, among others. In the lapse of 4 to 10 years it might become a nightmare. I've had had to remove a lot of dead tissue in some...

Hydrogel Butt Injections
This substance is not approved by the FDA for soft tissue fill. It has been the cause of numerous problems and hardening of the buttock area. The best treatment is fat grafting to the buttocks.

Hydrogel butt injections: Stay Away!!!
Hydrogel injections virtually always lead to horrendous complications either immediately or over the course of life. Stay away as if you have one of these complications you will certainly need reconstructive surgery. Fat grafting can be done in the office under local anesthesia. I use a waterjet liposuction machine that is painless and yields great fat. This technique works really well for me but there are many other ways to do it. Find an honest and reputable...
