Can Radiesse Be Used As a Butt Filler?

Hi latn,
Radiesse in the butt is a very "off label" use of the product. It would take quite a bit of Radiesse at great expense. So it "can" be done, "butt" there are much better choices of materials to fill your derrière.
Your question does remind me of the best answer ever given on "The Newlywed Game" when a gentleman was asked, "Where is the most unusual place that you and your wife have made "whoopy"?", and the answer was, "That would be in the butt, Bob".
Good luck and be well.

I would confirm this prior to traveling to Peru. The cost of the Radiesse would be prohibitive. From a USA standpoint this is off lable and exceptionally unusual. The volume of material required would be cost prohibitive.

 

Radiesse is a powerful and effective dermal filler that is based on the ground substance of bone. Radius is used in small volumes of 1 to 2 mL when injected for cosmetic purposes in the face. Injection of Radiesse into the butt is not recommended. Problems arise when lumps of Radiesse are present in the tissue. Also keep in mind the price of Radiesse. To obtain a significant result in the butt, you typically require 300 to 600 mL per side. The price of this volume of Radiesse would be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Fortunately there are much better options for butt augmentation surgery. Visit with a board-certified plastic surgeon who has experience with butt augmentation fat grafting. They will be able to describe your options which can include liposuction and then using your own fat to recontour where your butt.
