Is it possible and safe to get Hyacorp injections to my butt which already has implant in them?

Question

Some doctors say that there's a risk of getting an infection. But I am really keen to get the injections of Hyacorp to improve the shape of my butt as after the implant operation I am not very happy about the form. They recommended Lipofiling but I am quite thin and I don't have fat on my body ...

Have you considered revising your buttock implants?  I have unfortunately had many patients come to me after having their high hopes for buttock augmentation crushed by measly Sculptra results or other "fillers" such as Renuva and Juvederm, etc. Other than the fact that these are not FDA approved for buttock injections, here are some critical points of awareness: 1) they all are temporary, lasting 1.5 - 2 years at very most, 2) if done correctly dermal fillers like Sculptra ir Renuva are cost prohibitive for 99% of potential buttock augmentation patients. In order to create a significant/noticeable result with a dermal filler, at least 200 mls of product must be injected into each buttock cheek for a total of 400 mls. At $1000 per ml, this equates to a minimum price of $400,000.00. Thus if your doctor is recommending to put in ONLY 20 or 40 mls of these fillers you will pay $20,000-$40,000 and get an insignificant miniscule result! (eg. like a “drop in the ocean” effect), 3) Do not let anybody tell you that the product is so special that it's going to magically grow over the following months or years...this just doesnt happen to any noticeable degree!, 4) dermal fillers, when injected in large quantities, have a relatively high infection rate, guaranteed tendency to migrate away from the original area they were injected into, and almost always stimulate a lot of inflammation with a subsequent and disastrous amount of scar tissue/hardening, and 5) the one very serious complication that can rarely (< 1%) happen is "embolism" in which some of the filler gets into the blood stream and travels up into the lungs, heart, and/or brain causing serious problems, including death.

Thank you for the question. It is difficult to answer your question without examining you or seeing your photos. However in general Hyacorp is a dermal filler which may give you the results you are expecting but the amount of product required to achieve this will be expensive. Also it may last for a short time. It is best to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options fat grafting or revision. Good luck.
