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?

Dear Smily1,
Gluteal implants carry a relatively high risk profile. Risks of infection, displacement, extrusion (rejection), nerve impingement and contour irregularities such as yours are real and probably more common than other plastic surgery procedures. It is unclear what is causing you...
There may be several options available depending upon the amount of subcutaneous tissue and the location of the pockets that were created for the implants.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA
The cost of buttock implant removal will vary by surgeon and geographic region. Assuming that there is not going to be implant replacement or fat grafting done, total costs is around the $4,000.
