^HI(eBTgl)uls^1m3 rcan not lie,” belted STflwTlx-a-lot in the
popular 90’s rap song. Having a round derriere has become a
popular trend in the underground or black market of plastic sur
gery. Hydrogel injections for the buttocks, have caused women all
over the world to become victims of their own insecurity.
In today’s culture, having a bigger, firmer, rounder ass-et is the
new necessity and women from every country, and age will do
just about anything to fit into this new idea of beauty. Video vix
ens like Melissa Ford and celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez and
A-lister Kim Kardashian, have propelled the new epidemic and
sparked the demand that beauty begins with your booty.
As the average woman does not have the bank account of Lopez
or Kardashian, illegal hydrogel injections provide a less invasive
cheaper alternative. Many women have flocked to hotel rooms,
apartments, and hair salons to have the dangerous procedure
performed. Professional doctors use an approved substance
mailed hydrogel to inject their patients, but black market “doctors"
lave bootlegged the chemical and are cashing out on insecure
women everywhere.
Hydrogels contains water and polyacrylamide. Polyacrylamide is
used In wastewater treatment and paper making for flocculation
of solids in a solution. It is also used in Gro Beast Toys,
causing the toy to swell up once it touches water,
during these illegal butt enhancement sessions, the
lydrogel solution is literally injected into the buttocks
muscle tissue, and the polyacrylamide acts as a filler
0 enhance the size of the buttocks. These temporary
injections are not permanent and must be refilled and
maintained every 18 months, at a rate of $1,500-3,000
5er session. The procedure can last anywhere from 30
minutes to 2 hours depending on the quantity of the
iniectlons.

Hydrogels are not FDA approved in the US for buttock injection.
A legalized procedure called a Brazilian Micro-Fat Transfer uses
1600-2000 CO of the individual’s own body fat for injections. One
cc syringe of hydrogel cost over 500 dollars, according to cos-
meticsurg.net. If the general amount to enhance the buttocks is
as the Brazilian procedure, it will cost 1,000,000 dollars to inject
the hyrdrogel. Therefore, it would be impractical to allow a non
licensed individual to perform hydrogel injections for only $1500-
3000 for the entire procedure.
There have been many reported cases of individuals being
injected with builder’s caulk, cement, fix-a-flat, cleaning gels and
other deadly household chemicals that are irreversible, trying to
achieve a rounder butt.
This dangerous procedure is often performed by posers, quack
doctors, whom set up appointments in hotels and apartments-
they disappear soon after the procedure.
