Will silicone butt injections affect a person with diabetes on insulin?

Question

I am inquiring about the silicone butt shots but my concern is that I'm a Diabetic on insulin. How would it affect me being as though I have this condition?

Ricardo A. Meade, MD · Answer

This is a bad idea and it is not supported by the ASPS.  Diabetic or not, it should not be done.  This technique is not safe, nor has it been accepted by our plastic surgery community.  It is a technique that you'll hear about in other countries but not in the society of plastic surgeons.

I do not recommend silicone butt injections to anyone. 

	For butt augmentation there are better and safer options including fat injections or silicone butt implants.

Paul Gill, MD · Answer

I would not consider silicone injections.   As a diabetic patient, you are likely to have issues related to infection and rejection of the material.   Silicone injections are quite simply obsolete because they carry such a high risk of complication.

	I would recommend that you consider fat injections to your buttocks.   You are less likely to have infection or rejection of your tissue.

C. Bob Basu, MD, MPH, FACS · Answer

This is simply is very bad idea. Silicone injections can lead to many problems.  Ask any board certified plastic surgeon, and they will likely tell you of a patient they have encountered who had silicone injections to the breast or buttock.  They were likely crippled with hard nodules that simply can not be easily corrected and can leave patients deformed.

William A. Wallace, MD, FACS · Answer

I would not recommend silicone injections to any patient for any reason in any location. Direct injection of liquid silicone is riddled with numerous complications and potential health problems later.
