Will my butt be saggy after removing butt implants ?

Question

I had 250cc butt implants put in within the muscle about 2 years ago. It looks great but I don't like how fake it feels. What are the chances my butt will be saggy and deformed if I remove them ? Considering my implants are not big at all and was placed within the gluteus Maximus. Thanks for your help!

It is rare that
individuals want to remove their butt implants (just like very few people want
to remove their breast implants). 
However occasionally people do want to remove their implants for various
reasons.

The most common
question after removal of an implants is whether or not they will have saggy or
loose skin.  This is depends on a couple
different factors.  One what size
implants the patient had placed for the augmentation.  The smaller the implants the less effect it
will have on the overlying skin.  A 200
to 300cc butt implant is much less likely to affect the skin than a 700 or
800cc implant.

The second
factor is the integrity of the skin prior to the butt augmentation.  Many patients have the implants placed to
lift the buttock.  If this was the case
the butt will lose some of its lift or perkiness after the removal.  If the patient has good skin and had a good
shape prior to the butt augmentation they are likely to still have a good shape
to their butt after removal of the implants.

How someone
will react to removal of the implants depends from patient to patient.  I typically tell patients it is similar to
breasts after pregnancy, some women’s breast look great after having kids and
other women’s breast completely deflate and fall.

Discuss your
butt implant removal with a board certified plastic surgeon that can help guide
you through the process.

Your 250cc implants are not very large. It is unlikely that you will have noticeable sagging after removal. An image would be helpful though. Good luck!
