Butt augmentation and juvederm

In the United States, there are only two acceptable methods for butt augmentation: a fat transfer to the butt and a butt augmentation with an implant. In my practice in Houston, I do both. Frequently, patients call asking for silicone, hydrogel, and juvederm for buttock augmentation. There are currently no indications to use juvederm for butt augmentation. Although juvederm has been well accepted for facial soft tissue augmentation, it is not used for high volume augmentation.... more

Juvederm is a skin filler and face volumizer primarily.

Buttock enlargements require lots of volume to be inserted. Juvederm will not do this satisfactorily. Best to do fat grafting using fat from another part of your body. Also available are silicone buttock implants that can be inserted through a 3 inch incision in the midline between the buttocks. Scar is basically not detectable. You need to talk to an experienced plastic surgeon and do your homework first to select such a surgeon that does this type of surgery.

Juvederm for hip/buttock augmentation

Eeaster, The cost of Juvederm to enhance your hips /buttocks would be unaffordable unless you have tens of thousands of dollars to spend. Consider having your own fat injected into your problem areas. It will be much more affordable and more effective. Good luck! see video

Not cost effective

The cost is prohibitive. Plus you need the volume that only fat injection can provide. This offers the additional benefits of long-term results because some of the fat develops a blood supply and survives long-term.

You are not that misinformed

You maybe referring to Macrolane. This like Juvederm, is a hyaluronic acid filler. It is used in the UK and Europe to increase volume of breasts. In theory one could also use it in the buttocks. Unfortunately this product is unavailavble in the US and is not approved by the FDA. Fat is the best alternative in the US.

Juvederm Buttock Augmentation

For several reasons, "Fillers", other that your own fat, are not recommended for large volume augmentations such as hip and buttock augmentation: 1) higher risk for migration of the product, 2) higher risk of infection, 3) provided the operator/surgeon is using authentic product, it is cost prohibitive - i.e. > $100,000 to put in a total of 300 mls (need at least 150 mls per buttock) of Restylane/Juvederm, 4) If you find someone to do it for significantly cheaper - RUN because... more

Buttock augmentation

Juvederm comes in one cc syringes cost about $ 500 For the buttock you need 400 cc, to use juvederm that will cost a fortune. Fat is the only logical alternative for the buttocks
