Are hip implants placed inside/behind muscle like properly placed butt implants?

Question

If not where are they placed & how will they "not show" if they're not placed within/behind muscle. I’m tall with dip hips & afraid of hip implants because I think they can be visualized if "not placed within or behind muscle like buttocks/breast. I currently have breast & butt implants which both were placed within/behind muscle totally discrete… dont want 2 waste money.

Edwin Kwon, MD, FACS · Answer

Unlike buttock and breast implants, hip implants are typically placed above the muscle.  The implants are placed between the tensor fascia lata and the subcutanous fat.  If you are very thin, the implant may be more visible, but usually there is enough soft tissue that hides the implant well.

There really are no muscle bellies at the hip dip to place the implant under. There is a lot of facia and tendon insertion’s in the area.
