Is hyaluronic acid safe to use in butt/hips?

Question

I have heard people in the past talk about ordering 10ml syringes even 50ml I believe of HA and using it on various parts of their body. I was hoping it maybe safe to use as a more affordable treatment for BBL maybe even hip area if possible to make corrections to my body. If so is it similar to fillers in the lips? (Need massaging, multiple injection techniques, same types / brand names, ext) And lastly does it hurt and can it be numbed?

Dear LexiNYC,
generally speaking, it is possible to use dermal fillers. However, you will need a lot of fillers to get an increase in size and that will cost too much and it will last only a few months. BBL is a permanent solution. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

It is safe if using non illegal products. But the expense is equal or more than a surgical BBL... You might need more in person or virtual consults.
