Bad Butt Implant for Male

Question

I had Butt Implants surgery 5 weeks ago.  When I go to sit down or bend over, you can see the pronounced outline of the implant.  When I squeeze my butt cheeks together, it looks like I have something implanted there. Also, when I touch my butt, I can feel the implants. I am muscular, lean and in great shape. Is the leaness of my body affecting the outcome or have I had a bad implantation?  I would like to send a photo if I can.

Unlike most for most other procedure I do in Plastic Surgery, lean and muscular patients pose the biggest problem for buttocks augmentation.
The first reason is that if I use an implant, the implant will be less disguised by the overlying tissue.
The second reason is that if I want to use fat, the fact that the patient is lean means that there is little fat donor tissue available.
In your particular case, the implant placement appears to be either sub fascial or subcutaneous instead of submuscular.
You should ask your surgeon whether the implant placement was submuscular or not.

My guess without meeting you is your implants are on top of your muscle. In thin patients such as yourself that can be problematic. You would benefit from a revision and placement of those implants within the muscle layer if my assumption is correct.Best

It is very difficult to determine the exact size and shape implant you will require to best match your ideal butt image without an examination by a board certified plastic surgeon. Not just any board certified plastic surgeon, but one with many years of frequently performing breast augmentation surgery including different approaches, techniques and implant choices. This is because several measurements not to mention your breast characteristics are needed to determine the optimal implant size to obtain your goals. Without knowing these dimensions it would be difficult to make this determination. For example, the existing base width of your buttock will determine, in many cases, the maximal volume per implant profile that you can accommodate. Liposuction of your lower back and fat transfer is also helpful as an adjunct to implants. Using “want to be” photos however are useful if simply provided to the surgeon.

Hello, it appears your implants are quite superficial meaning closer to the skin surface. There are different levels of depth the implants can be placed. The amount of soft tissue coverage over the implant will affect how they are seen or felt. Thanks.

Butt implants are a great way to enhance the back side especially if you
 don't have enough fat for fat transfer to the buttock a.k.a Brazilian 
buttock lift. The main reason you are seeing the outline of this butt implant is because it was placed just on top of the muscle or under the skin. All of our butt implant are placed under the muscle and they look really natural. Its much easier and quicker to place implant on top of the muscle. Most of the time you pay less for this kind of work. The good news is that this can be fixed by placing the implant in the correct space. I have done this many times for patients.  Make sure you discuss this with your Plastic Surgeon (If he / she is a real Plastic Surgeon). Otherwise, look for a Plastic Surgeon with butt implant experience.

Please see your surgeon to express your dissatisfaction. It appears that your implants were not placed properly or have rotated somehow. Best of luck.
