A Allow me to answer your question as best i can based upon your in photos. However, please keep in mind that an in-person, or at least a virtual, consultation with physical exam is first necessary before any legitimate evaluation or final surgical recommendations can be made. Unfortunately your problem is not so much your leanness but the position and round shape of your buttock implants. Based purely upon these two photos, your implants appear to be in the subcutaneous (aka “subfascial”) tissue plane, not the total intramuscular plane, thus making them much more visible. Additionally, the buttock and, moreover, the gluteus muscles constitute an oval shape not a round shape in the human being. So the round implants shape also add toe visibility problem, especially when squatting down or bending over. Below is some additional general information i share with inquiring buttock implant patients. Make no mistake, it is indisputable that the best position (aka “placement”) for buttock implants is in the total intramuscular tissue plane, not half and half within and on top of the muscle (aka “biplanar” or “dual plane”), not completely on top of the muscle and not “sub-fascial" which is exactly the same as on top of the muscle - so please do not be fooled by this terminology. Also, supercharging with adding fat over the implant is also likely to not make any difference other that costing you more and setting you up for more potential complications. The implant life and longevity of aesthetic, tasteful, and realistic results are all best with the “intramuscular” technique, period. Other than placing buttock implants within the gluteus maximus and medius muscles (aka “intramuscular”) NOT on top of the muscle, “subfascial” or “dual plane”, the most important factors in creating the perfect derriere and/or hourglass figure with implants is indeed selecting the right size AND shape. I have found the best way to assure this is to simply measure the actual dimensions of the patient’s gluteus muscles (not butt cheek fat pad, which may appear “round”) and quantity and quality/density of these muscles. With these anatomical measurements, I can select an implant that not only significantly augments the buttock but also supplies the correct 3-dimensional enhancement to look as real as possible...with positional changes (eg. bending over and squatting down) and even in the most petite patients that have small/lean muscles and minimal overlying fat. The fact is, nearly 100% of the human population has a more oval shaped gluteus muscles not round. Therefore an oval shaped implant such as the Stanton Anatomic®️ buttock implant conforms best and produces a more realistic contoured outcome better than round implants. Contrary to what many think, a round implant placed correctly within the muscle actually sits up at the top of the butt cheek, creating an unnatural pointy or “gum-drop effect”, not at the lower part of the butt cheek and thus does not contribute to filling or rounding out of any of the lower buttock pole. Height and weight are considered but not nearly as relevant as the above measurements. Final note, because an extremely few number of board certified plastic surgeons specialize in buttock implants, you may have to travel away from your local area to seek consultation with this particular type of surgeon. Getting it done right the first time around is not only the best chance for success, but also will save you from a lot of headaches and money in the future. Glad to help.

However, please keep in mind that an in-person, or at least a virtual, consultation with physical exam is first necessary before any legitimate evaluation or final surgical recommendations can be made. Buttock “sagging” is usually a combination of loss of volume or deflation (after weight loss, liposuction, or post-BBL) and/or the effect of aging and gravity. So, I personally first treat patients like you by restoring volume to the buttock with a buttock implant. This will create a more desirable smooth and rounded perky buttock profile. If not adding volume with an implant, the buttock will most certainly always appear more flat with just a buttock lift. A lower buttock tuck is usually then performed at six months following implants. Coincidentally, a lower buttock tuck also doubles as a thigh lift. In this sequence, the implants have fully settled into final position so that any remaining loose skin can be most accurately identified and removed with the lower buttock tuck. Please note, because an extremely few number of board certified plastic surgeons specialize in buttock implants, you may have to travel away from your local area to seek consultation with this particular type of surgeon.
