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.

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. ... more

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.

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... more

FIVE THINGS you must know about Hydrogel Buttock injections

1. This is not approved in the US by the FDA. A big tip off right there. 2. This procedure has had several reported problems with infections and other complications. 3. It is not necessary to use Hydrogel when more superior ways such as fat injections or a very nice implant are the way to go. 4.

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.

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... more

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... more
