1 week post BBL with 275 round polytech gluteal implants 28 yo female and the implants are showing, do I remove them? (Photos)

Question

8 days post OP. A Lot of swelling has gone Down and now Im scared. Didnt Want implants But didnt have enough fat for Bbl only. The implants are put intramuscular. Now after the swelling has gone Down it litterally looks like the rest of my Butt is hanging over and beneath the implant, making the implant very visible. Is this normal? Will it Change? Should i prepare myself for implant removal? And Will my Butt look even worse after removing them Then they did before i Got them?

Please forgive me, but the angle of the photos allow limited assessment.Having said that,I do not generally recommend patients to worry reoperations at 1 week after surgery. This is nearly always premature.The muscle holds the implant in a higher position thatyou will have in the end, and it takes some weeks to "fall into place".You say that your surgeon has used Polytech implants. I do not use these because they are slightly textured and therefore "falling into place"may take a bit longer. Bear this in mind. Otherwise it is a good implant it has just got this inconvenience.Best wait 10-12- weeks before taking major conclusions.

Allow me to answer your question as best i can based upon your photos. However, please keep in mind that an in-person consultation with physical exam is first necessary before any legitimate evaluation or final surgical recommendations can be made. That being said, you appear to be a classic case whereby a round implant was used instead of an oval shape. In 2015 I created and later patented a new "Stanton Anatomic" shaped implant that avoids the unnatural effects of round implants, whether silicone gel or rubber . The benefit of this is the fact that ~90% of patients have more of an oval shaped buttock cheek not round, thus a true oval, not “tear-drop”, implant (i.e. Stanton Anatomic implant) creates a much more natural and harmonious buttock contour.  This is especially true when the patients bends over, does squats, or pokes their butt out while striking a pose or dancing. Many avid weightlifters, fitness competitors, and athletes from various sports have had these implants without problem of movement, visibility, or drooping.  Glad to be of help.
