Implants exchange and/or BBL for possibly over the muscle placed butt implants. Currently 300cc above muscle. (photos)

Question

I have butt implants(300 cc placed i think they are placed above the muscle but i am not sure about this) but i gained a lot of weight and i want to get a BBL .As you can see from my pics the right side of my butt is up higher. I am not sure what to do since i want an increase in size of my butt.Would it be an option to leave the current implants and graft fat over them(even if there are above the muscle) to correct the unevenness and increase the size? Or maybe an implant exchange and bbl?

Allow me to save you a lot of time, money, and unnecessary recovery. If your implants are on top of the muscle, which they appar to be, then they need to be removed and replaced (with a new pair) into the intramuscular tissue plane within the gluteus muscles. No amount of fat transfer (aka BBL) over/around your current implants will conceal them and make the problem go away. Glad to help.

thank you for sharing. Buttock Implants vary in shapes and sizes. The shape and size of your implant is determined by your plastic surgeon at the time of your consultation by taking measurements.  The size of the implant does depend on the size of the patient. If the implant used is too large for the patients body type, the implant is likely to be unsuccessful and result in explanation.  It is VERY important that you choose a board certified plastic surgeon that specializes in this procedure and is well known in the medical community for it. This will significantly increase your chances of a successful operation.
