It is extremely rare for properly placed intramuscular buttock implants to flip (like a pancake). Older “tear drop oval” style implants can and do rotate frequently. Thus, if your problem is truly a flipped implant then a new pocket is recommended and this will require surgery. If the implant is only rotated then it may be manually manipulated without surgery to set it upright again...although it will likely rotate again, thus surgery to exchange a tear-drop implant for a Stanton Anatomic implant is recommended. Glad to help.
Dear tmarie143,the cost of surgery depends on a lot of factors (type of surgery, number of treated areas, anesthesia fee, surgeon, facility fee, city, etc.). It would be the best to visit or call plastic surgery offices and ask for a price.Daniel Barrett, MDCertified, American Board of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Plastic SurgeryMember, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

Other than placing buttock implants within the gluteus maximus muscle (aka “intramuscular”) NOT “subfascial”, the most important factors in creating the perfect derriere and/or hourglass figure with implants is indeed selecting the right size AND shape. I have found the best way to assure ...

Performed by the right surgeon buttock implants can be rather safe and natural looking. I do such procedures daily with much success. A buttock implant is a transformative operation. Its not an easy procedure to perform so seeing a surgeon who has extensive experience with this procedure is ...
If your implants are the appropriate size, done correctly with an expert board certified plastic surgeon you should not be able to see the outline of the implant. Be sure to choose a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon that specializes in such procedures.
