At some point along this 3 month journey my plants became infected. I believe it was near the beginning because I have had dishecense and odor as well as over production of fluid , although the doctor denies that I was infected until the end.. He tried to convince me to keep my implants in because the antibiotics were working but I have read too many reviews, doctors reviews and recommendations and facts that if bacteria attaches itself to the implant the antibiotics will clear it then it will come back as soon as you are not taking them anymore.. I was not willing to go into the 4 th month of hell with these things.. Not only was it infected and I was terrified of getting really sick , they also looked horrible.. The more time went by the more the swelling went down.. You could see the full outline of the implant, and you could also see that they were placed about 4 inches too high from my butt crease ... The doctor said that was because he didn't want them to sag and for me to be able to feel the implant at the bottom... So instead he places them extremely high and hopes gravity will eventually settle them enough that you don't see the lines.. I don't know about everyone else but most people get implants because they want instant results or atleast results within the healing time , not results that you have to wait 6 months to a year to have mean while looking like a complete clown! This has truly destroyed my confidence having these reducoulous looking implants in .. I even stopped taking my son to soccer practice or going to the grocery store.. I had to have my husband do all of that not only because of the look but the over all pain I have had.. I'm really happy these are out but very dissapointed that over 15 k was lost and none was refunded.... After this weekend I cannot reccomend anyone to dr widder.. He may do a great job on others bacuase they are not thin enough to see the implant but it was horrible on me. I also recieved my records today and found some nasty lies in them , such as "patient denies signs of infection" .. Hmm let's see I was told if I wasn't sick and running a fever I wasn't infected , I never had a fever and was never sick so I assumed all was well. But I am not a doctor and the smell I had the entire time was also said to be normal... Other comments such as " client denies sex but has hematoma" ... Well of course I deny sex because my husband I and I never had sex until after the first 6 weeks..we stuck with oral sex which was approved by the doc.. And lastly there was a statement in the records from the receptionist who could barly speak English saying that I had argued with my husband saying that" he broke my hole and I hope he learned his lesson because we had to come back in two weeks" .. This was a complete lie! Nothing was ever said like that and we never argue in public let alone a doctors office.. On top of that I am intelligent enough to not say a hole was broken, it's called an incision and it rips!! Wtf! I can't believe someone would clearly post a lie to cover their asses.. Dr widder accused me of having sex every time the hematoma or a problem came up.. It was never thought by him that the problems could have been from an infection or other reasons, just couldn't let the pride go.. So all in all, horrible placement, I professionalism in the staff ( for god sakes, lyn told me and my grandmother about her grey curly public hair today) .. I do not recommend this place at . all

I am so glad you had them removed. Everything was wrong about it from the get go (in my humble opinion) - the placement was over the muscle when it should have been under which is why you can clearly see the implant outline. This in itself I think was the cause of all the issues - the infection, the incision opening up etc. You may want to consult with a lawyer to at least get back your money.

Im really sorry about your Sx outcome. I can totally relate to ur pain And frustration for I'm going through the same prob. I still have to remove one side but right now I'm dealing with the incision deshirence that occurred AFTER the removal of implant on the right side only. Yes, only one side infected after seroma was left untreated for 10 days bc my dr couldn't find it with meddles and didn't believe any fluid was there even thou my right cheek was big as an watermelon and I had pain beyond comprehension. The left side healed perfectly and I feel really mad bc I'm going to have it removed. But im just too scared to go through it again if I decide to replace the removed one. It's a very traumatic experience and a very tough recovery, physically and emotionally, when complications happen specially when we have the certainty we didn't do anything wrong and they still try to blame it on us. I never heard of incision deshirence AFTER butt implants removal. I know they happen bc of pressure from implants or infection when implants r IN but AFTER removal?? Come on!! Removing them should be the end of our nightmare not a begging of a new one. I now have to revise the entire incision with removal of dead tissue and cauterization on wound and still wait a few months for it to heal from inside out since it can't the stitched again. Hope u heal well hun and ur nightmare is over after everything u been through. Good luck...

Hi doll, Listen as bad as it may sound-I would 100% go to another Dr and get a recommendation from them. You may think Widder is a great Dr, but from the reviews and things I have seen on here, I would NEVER go to him or Salama. If I were you, I would probably have them removed, wait 6-12 months then go to a Dr who specializes in this procedure and who goes in the muscle so you don't have that awful result again. I would say with FULL confidence the reason your implants look like that is 1. They are way too big, 2. they are on top of the muscle and when they sag they will look worse. You have that "dirty diaper" affect going on and in time it will get worse. 3. Your incision prob keeps opening and keeps having so many issues because there is only 1 incision for 2 huge implants and it's WAY too much pressure on that single incision. You look like a beautiful girl and I there is no way he is going to tell you that your results are a lost cause because then he has to admit his fault. I would just move forward and save my $ and get with a Dr who can fix this and give you the results you SHOULD have gotten in the first place. Good luck hun!
August 30, 2014
I agree with everything said by AngelMB2009! Move forward, no doctor will admit fault. Get an attorney asap! 1st go see another doctor asap for a consultation!!! Look under, Legal Match.com. Yes PS can be sued for Malpractice! Mention everything going on along w a few pics. Best of Luck to u!!!
August 30, 2014
Yes get an attorney, A GOOD ONE!

Thank you for the advice... Which doctor did you go with ?
August 30, 2014
I went with Dr. Stanton in Bev Hills. I know it's so cliche to go with a "Bev Hills" dr but I did my research, and took my time finding him. He has hands of a God. I am not kidding. I did not have ANY issues at all with recovery, in fact I have NEVER found anyone that used him that ever had issues. All his patients love their results and no issues with recovery. I don't live in Cali, however it was WELL worth the trip for me. I would go back to him a billion times over. You will make it through this, and everything will be okay. But I know that girls who go in for surgery and end up with an outcome that is NOT what they were hoping for is devastating, and can do so much emotional damage the longer it takes for them to fix it. The sooner you fix it the easier it will be to fix, I promise. You can still have the results you want just fix it asap before more issues arise. If you ever need anyone to talk to, you know we are here for you doll!!!!

Thanks for all the info.. I'll be trying to fix it ASAP but may be few years before I can since it took a few years to save up the money .. Luckily I was able to save around 12k instead of just the 9 for the surgery since I have had to travel back and forth so much.. Hate knowing I've blown that money
September 8, 2014
Yes Dr. Staton was my doctor as well who did my revision. In ur case u may need to remove implants first then later u can have new set under the muscle. Maybe with in 500ccs, idk? A good doctor decides what size is good for ur dimensions.

Unfortunately it was not the sizd that caused the issues .. It was infection from day one

August 30, 2014
Oh no....I am sorry it happen to you... May be the size of implants was too big for your butt cheeks? I heard that could be the reason for what you going through .... Any idea?
User Avatar
August 30, 2014
Morals would not let me sue him even if I wanted to.. Plastic surgery does not guarantee results.. It's like art... Some times it's great other times it's not.. He did not do anything that would fall under malpractice and he has been nothing but helpful to me since day one ... We are working on a solution .. It would be one thing if he finished the surgery and never addressed any of my concerns or helped me further but he has and continues to do so.. I do believe the results that I have seem intramuscular from another Doc is amazing and if / when I decide to go with an intramuscular implant I'll definetly be going with that doc..but for other personal reasons i chose to have subfCial implants .. It Will all work out I'm sure with no need to sue anyone.. Thank you for all the help Though girls! I'll defiantly keep it all in mind
August 31, 2014
Any doctor knowing and willing to place that size of implant, specially under the skin knows that the patient will have a higher chance of complications b/c the skin cannot close/heal. Too much tension to close properly. Ask the doctor to remove & replace implants with new set intramuscular. That's what I had done. Doctor should not charge u much. Maybe small surgical fees? He should not have a problem to correct this before ur skin stretches more and to put an end to all this pain and suffering. If he can't provide u with a solution to correct then consult with an attorney. I know one that can help u, here in California. You can have a free 30 min phone consultation. You have 1 year to sue from the date u discovered the injury due to malpractice due to negligence. That's why I said earlier to get a consultation from another PS. If he mentions it's b/c of placement of implants then that's all u need to know!!
September 1, 2014
That is great advice! I 100% agree with mynewbutt. If I were in this situation, I would follow that advice. He should KNOW that those implants are MUCH too large for the skin to hold and for it to try to close that incision. Any decent surgeon would know that!
September 1, 2014
Exactly!!! Doctors know this, the bigger implants=bigger problems!! You don't look like a girl with wide hips, even myself that I have wide hips got 540ccs. Im at 48 inches hip/butt. U look way smaller than me in the hip/buttock area. Really u should take my advice. I'm speaking from experience not just out of my ass! Seriously..

September 1, 2014
Well thank you.. I was advised to have 565 cc instead of 660 like I chose.. I wanted larger implants because I wanted a lot of projection which I did not have before.. As for the skin healing I have other medical reasons which may be playing in not letting it heal.. My incision was completely fine the first 2 weeks after surgery until I had a hematoma.. At that point not only did I have 660 cc implant in my butt but the doc had to drain 600 cc of blood/fluid... After that is when my incision opened and we have had a hard time since
September 22, 2014
So sorry to hear this :-( If it makes you feel any better, Dr Ryan Stanton here in Beverly Hills does an awesome job and only recommends intramuscular for all sizes of implants. You will definitely love the results, I promise....AND he is way cheaper :-)

I am curious...are you a smoker? If so, perhaps that is why you have trouble healing. In any case, an ethical doctor would not insert implants in you as large as you chose.

Incision had reopened

Well when my incision was all healed I went to my last dr appt and was told I had a small cyst on the incision right beside the lSt hole to close.. Dr widder said it may bust on it's own or go away.. Well my luck is always bad so it busted on it's own and so did the freshly healed dishecense hole .. So I'm now back to having a large hole in my incision and leaking the same fluid as before .. I swear this is never ending ! I'm feeling really depressed about this whole thing now.. My incision won't close , my butt used to be full at the bottom but I had nothing at top hence why I got implants, but now they are full at the top ( which I love) but now I look so empty and saggy at the bottom... What else?.. Oh and it doesn't matter if you see me standing straight up, bent over from the side or back, you see the implant everywhere..except when I'm bent over you see this huge rump of implant over the top half of my butt and then it just drops off flat as can be ! I wanted my full butt done not just half of it! I'm to the point I'm probably going to call my dr and ask to have them removed before my skin stretches too much and I'm stuck with saggy skin and no butt..I know my dr says wait , give it time ... But that's not saying it will settle (like breast implants do)..... still think dr widder is a great dr I just think I'm " one of those cases" where it clearly just doesn't work for you.. I really wish there was someone who know what the heck went wrong.
