Removal and replacement of 15 year old butt implants - will this help with appearance? (Photos)

Allow me to answer your question as best i can based upon your 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.

Based upon the age of your implants and your geographic location, I’m going to assume that they are “anatomic” but teardrop shaped and made of silicone gel. Unfortunately, these implants have a high tendency of flipping and rotating in the buttock pocket and also getting deformed when flexing the muscles - just as shown in your photos. In these situations, I recommend removing these types of implants and replacing them with Stanton Anatomic®️ gluteal implants, which are more anatomically correct and form stable, thus resisting flipping/rotational changes and deformation with bending and/or flexing of the muscles.

Please note that an extremely few number of board certified plastic surgeons specialize in buttock or hip implants, so you may need to travel far and away from home to find this particular 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.

Dear Australian,
Thanks for posting your relaxed and tightened butt pictures. The reason for the butt deformity in the tightened position is that your implants are placed intra muscular. When you tighten your Gluts , the implants are displaced medially , creating the deformity that you dislike. My recommendation is to replace the oval implants with round implants and place them in the sub fascial ( on top of the muscle) level. That will prevent the deformity when you squeeze your butt. I would also recommend a moderately bigger implants, possibly 480 cc, which will give you more fullness at the upper butt area,
Always consult with experienced board certified plastic surgeons who perform lots of butt implants surgery in accredited surgery center for your safety. Most importantly , check the before and after pictures in the photo gallery to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and attractive with one incision, nice projection, round hips and natural look.
Best of luck,
Dr Widder
