Left butt implant is not in the right place (Photo)

Question

Hello, I had buttock augmentation in February 2024. I had intramuscular placement, 330 CC. The implant at the right side looks perfect, I can't see it, I can't feel it. But the left implant doesn't look normal. I can feel it and the shape is not nice. The doctor says it is normal because I don't have enough fat at that side but I think the implant has shifted of flipped. I don't know. Someone who knows what went wrong? see photos

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

It would first be very helpful to not only see more photo angles but also bent over profile side-view and oblique views. Additionally, more information about the type and shape of implants. What does seem apparent is that the implants are foreshortened, meaning they do not extend the entire length of the buttock. This produces a step-off deformity at the lower pole of the buttock cheek and is often accentuated when bending over. If this is indeed the case, removal of these implants and replacement with the proper length Stanton Anatomic®️ buttock implants should significantly improve and create more of a realistic natural shape. Glad to help.

"If a large cavity is created within the muscle, there may be a risk of rotation in hip implants. If there is less fat in the hip, the hip prosthesis may become more visible from the outside. An ultrasound can help determine if rotation has occurred. Consulting the surgeon who performed your operation would be the best initial step."
