The same goes for plastic surgery spending decisions. There are some procedures that – at best – may return only iffy results. At worst, the only change will be a reduction in your wallet and maybe a hit to your health.

1.    “Flab Jab” to Dissolve Fat
Widely advertised by some cosmetic surgeons as a series of shallow injections purported to remove fat, procedures known as mesotherapy and lipodissolve,  use non-FDA approved ingredients. Plus no FDA testing has been done.

2.     Permanent Facial Fillers
Some special jells are used to plump lips and push out facial folds.

FDA-approved facial fillers like Restylane are temporary and last anywhere from six months to a year. But the permanent fillers can shift under your skin and cause unsightly side effects.

3.    Fat Injections for Breast Augmentation
Using fat grafting – taking fat from places where you can spare it – for breast enhancement sounds like an idea whose time has come.

But, in any fat transfer procedure, some fat will die and calcify. Enough calcifications and the presence of breast cancer can be hidden – or mimicked. The problem is the calcification can hide cancer from X-rays. This procedure is not commonly performed at this time and has not yet been approved for breast augmentation procedures.

4.    Cosmetic Leg Lengthening
It’s great to be six-foot-two.

But the method used to achieve height involves breaking both legs and using metal stretching devices screwed into the leg bones.

Some businessmen ask plastic surgeons for the procedure to appear more like an in-charge person.

However, in the U.S., you can only have the surgery after extensive psychological testing. And a desire to be large and in charge is not reason enough for going ahead. Also consider the cost of the cosmetic surgery: about $120,000.

5.    Buttock Implants
After J.-Lo appeared at a 2003 awards ceremony in a little, form fitting green dress, the procedure became more popular.

But because people spend so much time sitting on their rear end, problems like infection and extrusion occur. Plus the implants can shift around.

If you want a more round, sensuous rear end, consider a Brazilian Butt Lift instead.

6. Lip augmentation with an implant.
The lips are in constant movement which can cause the implant to shift or even to extrude through the skin. Granulomas (small nodules inside the lips) can form which would make the implant harder to remove. Fat transfer to the lip is much safer.

No one needs to live with an unshapely posterior, thanks to the advent of modern fat transfer procedures. Another benefit to the buttock implant procedure is that patients will lose additional fat from the donor sites, enhancing their figure and form even more. Choosing the right surgeon is vital to the outcome of the procedure, though, so research is important.

Many patients find that they want a more symmetrical look, especially after surgically altering the front of their bodies. A buttocks implant offers an excellent means of getting the look that these consumers want. By sculpting the rear end, consumers can help alter their appearance for the better.

Buttocks implantation is a simply surgical procedure and is usually performed in conjunction with another surgery, such as liposuction or a tummy tuck. The quickness and efficacy of the surgery make it a prime choice for many consumers unhappy with the shape of their buttocks. During the surgery, fat is transplanted from a donor area, into the buttocks to achieve a fuller look.
