Bad Butt Implant for Male

I had Butt Implants surgery 5 weeks ago. When I go to sit down or bend over, you can see the pronounced outline of the implant. When I squeeze my butt cheeks together, it looks like I have something implanted there. Also, when I touch my butt, I can feel the implants. I am muscular, lean and in great shape. Is the leaness of my body affecting the outcome or have I had a bad implantation? I would like to send a photo if I can.

Reason for Bad Butt Implant Outcome

Very few implants, if any, are perfect. For the vast majority to look good, they must be covered with as much soft tissue as possible.

Rotated Buttock Implant

The picture shows that the implants do not have enough coverage, and at least the right implant is rotated. You probably are not a good candidate for that butt implant. You are lean and that poses a problem in offering you many options. However you have some options 1. Liposuction to the illic crest and love handles and may be the posterior thigh will define your bittock, AND FAT TRANSFER 2. If you have excess on the abdomen then a tummy tuck and using the skin and fat from the abdomen will... more
