Hydogel Injections Vs. Fat Transfer for Butt Enhancement?

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.

Just last week in New Jersey, 6 women were rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery after having bathroom caulk placed into their butts. They were told it was safe and effective, and most certainly were NOT told it was bathroom caulk.

You should be very careful. Your health and even life may be at stake.

The only way to know you are being treated at the highest possible level of safety and responsibility is to be sure your surgeon is certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery. Don't be fooled by impostor boards....

Here's where you can check if your surgeon is certified or not:

 

Hydrogel injections are out of the question.  They are not FDA approved and dangerous.  Injectors are usually not doctors.  There are several complications that may happen with hydrogel injections.

 

Fat grafting utilizes your own fat cells. This procedure is called the Brazilian butt lift, or autologous buttock augmentation. Using fat grafting has several benefits over implants. These include:

Avoiding use of implants or foreign material.
Treatment of multiple areas to enhance overall result.
Overall lower complication rates
Patient may benefit from losing fat from the donor sites, such as the abdomen (modified liposuction)
 

For anyone
considering buttock enhancement I typically recommend a fat transfer
procedure.  In my practice I do not offer
any other type of injections into the buttock area.  In my experience the risk of possible
complications is too high when synthetic products are injected into
the buttocks and there have been a number of deaths associated with hydrogel injections.  I cannot offer an opinion on
hydrogel, but the fat transfer procedure known as a Brazilian
butt lift is a very effective procedure to increase the volume of the buttocks.  For a Brazilian butt lift the most common
areas that are liposuctioned are the abdomen, flanks, and back.  Removing the fatty deposits from those areas
also enhances the buttocks even without a fat transfer.  I strongly recommend that you schedule a
consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss the fat transfer
procedure and the dangers of products such as hydrogel.  Even if you are not a candidate for a BBL, there
may be other options to help you improve your buttocks.Again, for your safety please only consult
with board certified plastic surgeons before any cosmetic procedure.Be well and
good luck!@norrisplastic
