Maya Massafera, a 45-year-old influencer, showed the result of an aesthetic procedure performed on her buttocks. She had a filling with hyaluronic acid to increase volume and improve the contour and firmness of the area. The result was shown on Thursday, April 3, on her Instagram profile, where she celebrated by saying her butt was "huge." The amount applied was 100 ml of hyaluronic acid.
Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally present in the body, mainly in the skin. It helps retain water, add volume, and improve hydration and elasticity of tissues. In aesthetics, it is used as a filler to increase volume and improve the contour of certain areas of the body.
The article warns about the risks of the procedure, especially because the buttock is an area with important blood vessels. The risk increases when the filling is done in high volumes or in regions that are not part of the original product indication. The text mentions that ANVISA itself has guidelines on the proper use of these substances.
