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)?
Answer: 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 use your own adipose fat. This procedure is called the Brazilian Butt Lift. It is natural and safe. Save your money until you can afford it. If not, it is better to not do anything . Or-- just buy a pair of butt enhancing Spanx!

Answer: Hydrogel Injections It would be hard to find a surgeon to perform hydrogel injections because it is not FDA approved and there are several risks associated with this procedure. It is best to use your own fat in a Brazilian Butt Lift procedure for the best results. I recommend finding a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to further discuss the safest options to get you the results you desire.

Answer: Silicone injections to the buttocks Thank you for the question. There are many options for buttock enhancement. The most popular would be simply removal of unwanted fat and it being transferred to the buttocks. The fat is processed after liposuction and made ready for transfer. You may also follow us on instagram @drJplasticsurgery or snap chat @drJsurgery to get a better idea. Would not recommend injecting any foreign object to the buttocks especially silicone/hydrogel products which are illegal and unsafe. Make sure you have a thorough consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who has extensive experience in this procedure. Check her/his experience, credentials, reviews, before and after photos, and have a quality consultation. There are many surgeons including myself who do virtual consultations as well. It is preferred for your surgeon to be member of "American Society of Plastic Surgeons" and ideally member of "American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery". This means they have been evaluated by the society and recognized that the focus of their practice is high volume and quality, honest aesthetic plastic surgery and they adhere to a code of ethics. All my best,

Answer: Hydrogel/Silicone Butt Injections: Is this Safe and Legal? Thank you for your question. There are two common ways to enhance a buttock, but each requires surgery. The most common method is through the use of fat-grafting, popularized as the "Brazilian Butt Lift", or BBL. This procedure involves performing liposuction of diet and exercise resistant areas of the body (typically the abdomen, waist, hips, and back), followed by processing and purifying the fat before injecting the fat back into the glutes. This fat can be used to recontour the buttock region, while adding volume and firmness. The second method of butt augmentation is through the use of buttock implants, a better option for those with otherwise little body fat. Injections of any other material is at best, unsafe, and at worst, can be dangerous to your health. Please do not entertain this option. Specifically Hydrogel and silicone butt injects are not safe, and are not legal in the US. Hope that this helps.

Answer: Buttocks Injections Unfortunately, injecting silicone, hydrogel, or other substances has not been shown to be safe. Despite this, you can find people even here in the United States who are doing this. I would strongly caution against it as it can have very serious complications. That being said, there are two very safe and effective ways to augment your buttocks if you are interested. The first is to have liposuction performed elsewhere on your body and then have the fat transferred into the buttocks. This is known as a Brazilian Butt Lift. The second is to have implants placed. Both are great options in the right patient. Best of luck.
