Can You Inject Fish Oil into Your Buttocks?

   I would not recommend injecting fish oil into your buttocks as this is not a sterile preparation.  In addition, there is potential for fat emboli as well.  Your own fat will be sterile in a sterile operating room environment, and risk of fat emboli injected with a blunt instrument is very small.   Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

NO!!  Please do not allow someone to inject fish oil or any other nonapproved foreign material into you buttock.  This could lead to critical infections, bleeding, and a lifetime of consequences.

Injecting any foriegn material into the buttock is extremely dangerous, and not advisable.The only safe method to enhance the buttocks is fat or buttock implants.
