10 HYDROGEL INJECTION TIPS YOU SHOULD KNOW

In the search for the perfect tush, hydrogel injections have gotten a lot of media coverage lately. Though some claim that hydrogel injections are the perfect quick, minimally-invasive solution for those lacking in the booty area, others warn that hydrogel isn’t the best choice for scoring a rounder rump. At best, it’s a temporary solution; at worst, hydrogel injections in your butt could lead to a rear that ends up looking saggier than before. These facts will help you separate truth from fiction and make the best choice you can for your own body.

1. IT’S RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE.

High-quality hydrogel costs around $500 per cc of gel. Most butt injections take at least 500 cc’s of material. That means that your average hydrogel butt job would cost upwards of $1 million.

2. THOSE WHO CLAIM TO DO CHEAP HYDROGEL BUTT ENHANCEMENTS ARE UNLIKELY TO BE CERTIFIED OR SAFE.

“Backdoor butt jobs” often use gels that aren’t safe for injection and result in unpredictable, inconsistent results, as well as infection, swelling, and other problems. Those who provide cheap butt lifts are operating illegally and unsafely, and you’re not likely to be happy with the results.

3. HYDROGEL INJECTIONS AREN’T ILLEGAL.

Though many have been claiming this lately, hydrogel injections are FDA approved for cosmetic surgery–but they are typically used in facial procedures like lip or cheek injections. Juvederm© and Restylane© are a couple of the most popular options.

4. HYDROGEL INJECTIONS AREN’T THE SAME AS FAT TRANSFER.

Fat transfer involves harvesting your own fat through liposuction, processing it, and reinjecting it into your buttocks to get the shape you want. Fat transfer procedures last longer and are typically received much better than gels, if only because they use cells from your own body; the risk of hematoma, swelling, and other problems is much lower. Hydrogels are synthetic compounds that your body may or may not respond to.

5. ANYONE OFFERING BUTT INJECTIONS SHOULD BE A BOARD CERTIFIED PLASTIC SURGEON.

Anyone who’s unwilling to provide their credentials is probably not qualified to perform the procedure safely, like this person (ABC News) who was arrested a few years ago. Ask critical questions and look for documentation, and if your provider can’t provide it, hit the high road–you don’t want to trust your booty’s looks to them.

6. YOU HAVE OTHER OPTIONS.

There are far safer, more effective ways to build a better butt than don’t require injections or high-cost, risky procedures. A combination of diet and exercise and the use of butt enhancement pills and supplements is often all you need to get a perkier, curvier butt in a few months–no invasive procedures necessary.

7. HYDROGEL USUALLY ONLY LASTS ABOUT 18 MONTHS, AT BEST.

Fat transfer last significantly longer and may even be permanent, but hydrogel injections are notoriously temporary (ask discussed on CosmeticSurgery.com), no matter where they’re administered.

8. HYDROGEL BUTT INJECTION KITS CAN BE INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS.

Look up hydrogel butt injection kits online, and you’ll find options you can inject yourself–but those options contain questionable materials and results will be far less than reliable.

9. BUTT CREAMS ARE A SMART ALTERNATIVE.

Butt creams, applied topically twice a day, work to plump up your body’s own fat cells rather than adding silicone or other injectables under the skin. It’ll take a few months to see results, but those results are permanent–and achieved safely. Butt creams also make your skin look healthier and firmer.

10. BUTT PILLS SOMETIMES WORK JUST ASWE LL, WITH LITTLE TO NO RISK OF COMPLICATION.

Getting the booty you’ve always dreamed of is sometimes as simple as popping a pill. Butt enhancement supplements are totally safe and work by boosting your body’s estrogen levels, which causes fat retention in the butt and hip area, the places women naturally tend to retain more fat. That means a rounder, curvier butt with no needles needed!

Hydrogel injections are suddenly getting a lot of hype. But are Hydrogel Injections Legal? You see ads for the HGel kits that you can purchase online and injection procedures that are touted on Facebook, Twitter, craigslist and in other venues.

Many people are trying them out to get a bigger butt without doing the work of exercise and proper diet. But, are these things even legal? And, more importantly, are they safe? Read on to learn about this procedure and the reasons you should avoid it.

WHAT’S IN HYDROGEL?

what-is-actually-in-a-butt-injection

Hydrogel is liquid silicone. This is the same thing that is in silicone breast implants. However, instead of being encased in an implant, the liquid is injected directly into your butt. Direct injections can lead to infections, allergic reactions and worse.

If liquid silicone doesn’t sound dangerous enough, there are people doing butt injections using even scarier materials. In one Miami case, the practitioner, a nurse, was using a toxic cocktail of super glue, silicone, rubber cement and Fix-a-Flat.

ARE THESE INJECTIONS LEGAL?

In a word, no. The FDA has not approved Hydrogel injections because of the safety issues involved. The only approved medical use of injectable liquid silicone is for holding on detached retinas. If you see someone advertising that they are licensed to do the procedure, they are lying. While some doctors have used it off label as a cosmetic filler, the procedure is highly criticized.

Liquid silicone is not well tolerated by many people, and can cause serious reactions. In many cases, it leads to swelling, inflammation and distortions in the area where it is injected. In some severe cases, injections can result in death.

A number of people who have performed Hydrogel butt injections have been arrested for it. Many are charged with practicing medicine without a license. In others, they have seriously injured or even killed their clients and are then tried for manslaughter.

SO, WHO’S DOING THESE INJECTIONS?

Over the summer, a doctor who was providing Hydrogelinjections off the books was arrested after a patient died. In many cases, however, the people doing the injections have no medical training whatsoever. Last year in Texas, two women were arrested for running an illegal butt injection service and leaving one client dead from a negative reaction.

The women turned out to have no medical credentials and long criminal histories that included robbery, prostitution and assault. In their arrest affidavit, a past client described a butt injection procedure that was performed in the back room of a business.

There was no sterilization, and the syringes used for the injection were refilled over and over without being removed. The patient was given cotton balls and super glue to close the wound.

The only process approved by the FDA is the Brazilian Butt Lift. In this procedure, fat from other parts of your body is extracted using liposuction. Then, it is put back in through a booty injection. The procedure is available from licensed plastic surgeons and can cost $5000 or more. It can be done under local or general anesthesia. Soreness and bruising usually last around three weeks.

The promised quick results and the relative affordability of Hydrogel have swayed many people toward the procedure. But, the risks and illegality make it a bad idea for anyone who values their health and safety. We recommend giving this one a pass.
