You are 6 months following this procedure; this should be enough time to have an idea regarding the final result. To be safe, you can wait few more months before attempting correction.

Will buttocks return to their original shape after implant removal?
I had buttock implants, but I had problems with them, where the left one fell out of the muscle and had to be repositioned twice. Around 6 months ago, I had them removed. My right buttock has now returned to normal, but my left one is very empty and flat. Is this damage permanent, or can I still expect it to return to normal in time? Is there anything that can be done for this?

A: Buttocks shape after implant removal should return to normal
This is nearly impossible to tell over the Internet. In most instances, it should return to normal with time. However, there are numerous possible causes for why this may not occur. I would expect that at 6 months most of the scarring has resolved but I would discuss this with your surgeon.

Dr. Otto Joseph Placik, could one of the reasons for the butt not returning to normal shape be the process by which the implant was removed? I would like to have mu implants removed but I would rather go to the Uconn health center for removal than to the doctor that put them in because they have better technology! Would you recommend that or would you stick to the doctor that implanted them for removal? - As a doctor..what would you do if you were the patient?
