Hello I got a BBL with Butt Implants (Intramuscular) in Miami in July 2022. And it came out botched. Last year July 2023 I went to the same surgeon and he did another BBL on me. This time it hid my implant better HOWEVER I am extremely self conscious and depressed about the whole situation. I'm lost and not sure what I should do. Can any body please help give me recommendations on what is the best thing to do for my situation? Saggy right cheek, right implant placement is messed up, and BIG
Answer: Removal of implants? It would be in your best interest to seek a second/third opinion from a board certified plastic surgeons who have extensive experience in buttock implants and related complications. Good luck.

Answer: BBL results Dear Micros, I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

Answer: Treatment for botched BBL/butt implants 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. Many plastic surgeons are marketing fat grafting with buttock implants because they are simply not placing the implants in the proper intramuscular position, thus, they are trying to camouflage the edges of the implant with fat. However this does not work because when the fat melts away you can still see the improperly positioned implant (no matter how many times BBL is attempted). Based purely upon your photos, unfortunately, it appears you fit into this category (yes, even though the surgeon claimed to have placed the implants “intramuscular”. There is a fix however. Your buttock implants need to be removed from their current pocket and new implants placed into a brand new, true and proper, 100 % intramuscular tissue plane/pocket. Please note that an extremely few number of board certified plastic surgeons specialize in buttock implants and even fewer are experts in buttock implant revisions, so you may need to travel far and away from home to find this particular surgeon. Glad to help.

Answer: Buttock revision Thank you for your question. I often deal with complex revisional buttock surgery. You definitely have a difficult situation. I believe performing a downsizing of your buttock implant and repositioning into a deeper submuscular space is well as a thong lift/infra gluteal thigh lift would solve your issues. I Perform a large number of Thong lifts and that would solve the issue of the hanging skin and the inferior pole of your buttock. Best wishes to you.
