Hi there-
Fat grafting to the buttocks, in the Brazilian Butt Lifting technique, is the ONLY safe method of augmenting or re-shaping the buttocks (other than implants).
There are now MANY women who have had scary and life-threatening experiences after having "hydrogel", silicone, and other substances injected into their bottoms.

Don't let yourself get conned into doing something unsafe!
Plastic Surgeons want to provide you with safe, beautiful and natural results.

We could make a lot more money doing hydrogel or silicone injections, but we know that they are not safe and choose not to. Be Smart. Be Safe. Stick with your own fat. It's all you and all natural.

Butt Enlargement with Hydogel injections vs. fat transfer
Fat grafting to the buttocks is the ONLY safe procedure for "filling" the buttocks.
Hydrogel / "Silicone" / "Collagen" and other injections are extremely unsafe and not FDA approved. Be aware that under our laws any American doctor injecting the buttocks with any unapproved filler is breaking the law and risking your well-being.

Buttock enhancement via fat transfer
FAT INJECTIONS is the only safe form of injections to the Buttocks. There are other safe methods for BUTT ENHANCEMENT. Hydrogel is a very UNSAFE, ILLEGAL method.
