Will a fat transfer help hide the edge more? (Photos)

Question

I am almost 1 year (July ‘18) post op for butt implants. My right side is wonderful, still no issues with that side. Never has been. My left side still hurts and get sore when dancing or working out. It’s also the you can see my edge. My surgeon says my alignment of my pelvis is a reason and repositioning the left side wouldn't do much. He suggested removal but I don’t wanna do that, I only have problems with ONE side. We are going to do a fat transfer to my hips to hopefully camouflage that edge some more. Will that help hide the edge more?

Based purely upon your photos it looks as though you probably have a round implant. Your best bet is to switch to a Stanton Anatomic implant which confirms better to the actual gluteus muscles and thus minimizes outer edge visibility. Fat grafting is bond for failure, as it never camouflages edges of implants.  Glad to help.

a fat transfer can help hide the edges of an implant and create a more natural feel.  Be sure to choose a board certified plastic surgeon.
