Silicone buttock injections

This is a bad idea and it is not supported by the ASPS.  Diabetic or not, it should not be done.  This technique is not safe, nor has it been accepted by our plastic surgery community.  It is a technique that you'll hear about in other countries but not in the society of plastic surgeons. best of luck

Buttock Augmentation in the Diabetic Patient

I would not consider silicone injections.   As a diabetic patient, you are likely to have issues related to infection and rejection of the material.   Silicone injections are quite simply obsolete because they carry such a high risk of complication. I would recommend that you consider fat injections to your buttocks.   You are less likely to have infection or rejection of your tissue.

Bad Idea - Silicone Injections to Buttock

This is simply is very bad idea. Silicone injections can lead to many problems.  Ask any board certified plastic surgeon, and they will likely tell you of a patient they have encountered who had silicone injections to the breast or buttock.  They were likely crippled with hard nodules that simply can not be easily corrected and can leave patients deformed.

Silicone Injections into the butt not recommended

The logic of your question is similar to that of an oil refinery worker worker wondering if his lighting a cigarette inside the refinery while surrounded by gas fumes may offend his nonsmoking buddies.

Don't do it!

Silicone injections for soft tissue augment should not be used for buttock augmentation.  Don't do it! I've seen many complications from this procedure.  It is often performed by a non-licensed individual and can lead to horrendous complications including removal of all of your buttock subcutaneous tissues and skin.  If you google the procedure "silicone injection", you'll see plenty of horror stories about skin discoloration, infections,... more
