Plastic surgery, or body modification, has been a growing phenomenon throughout the world. The rise of TV celebrities sporting the "perfect look" and ad agencies selling the "perfect solution" have lured many into paying the stiff costs of plastic surgery. One of the procedures growing in popularity is buttocks augmentation. There are two forms: injections of fat or other substances to reshape the derriere, and implants made of hard silicone or other plastics to lift or enlarge the buttocks. Statistics show that this surgery is less dangerous than some others, and it is free from the leakage problems that plagues those who've opted for breast implants. However, there can be side effects, including pain, loss of sensation, nerve damage, and more. The procedure's costs can range from $4,000 to close to $15,000. However, for those seeking a more attractive body shape, it can be worth it, both psychologically and physically.
