Hydrogel injections.

This is a very unsafe procedure. This product is not approved by the FDA in the U.S. I would highly advise that you NOT move forward with this procedure for your own safety.

Hydrogel is NOT safe in pregnancy.

Put it this way, hydrogel material is non medical grade, illegal and DANGEROUS for yourself much less your unborn child.  Why do something to your body that is not FDA approved and carries serious complications.

Hydrogel Butt Injections are illegal

Anyone who injects a patient with REAL Hydrogel (Polyacrylamide gel - Aquamid) or fake hydrogel is violating Federal laws. It is therefore doubtful that since they are not concerned about your well being in the first place that they would be concerned about your future pregnancy. REAL hydrogel is very expensive and does not last more than 15-18 months. If you ARE determined to have a butt augmentation, you should consider a Brazilian butt lift (fat grafting to the buttocks)....
