PMMA, Implants or Fat Transfer As Safest Butt Lift Procedure?

asked 2 years ago by Mrs Butts in New York

Question viewed 1,217 times
Tags: buttocks, silicone implant, fat, lift

I had an implant of 300cc silicone gel inserted in my buttocks, behind the muscles. I since have pain in my legs and my butt. It seems to make a pressure on the sciatic nerve.

So, I think of removing this implant now but it will probably leave a or empty space because the doctor made a pocket to insert the implant. So, what should I do now?Should I remove the implant, reduce the size, remove and wait or refill with Fat or PMMA? What is the safest butt lifting procedure?

Please guide me.

Fat transfer to the butt is the safest and most reliable technique for augmentation

The implant if put low can press on the sciatic nerve. It... more

Butt implant removal and replacement with fat or PMMA

This is a complex problem and there is no doubt that you will get many different and confusing recommendations. From a traditional standpoint, the most conservative approach, in my opinion is implant removal followed by delayed transfer of fat. PMMA is not FDA approved in the USA, to the best of my knowledge. Simultaneous implant removal and fat grafting is an option. However, understand that the fat will not be placed in the space where the implant was located. The fat is generally... more
