What is the best course of action for intramuscular gluteal implants that have displaced (broken through)?

Hello, thank you for your question. It is very unusual for the implant to migrate, I recommend you to schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. Remove your implants and they have to be place intramuscular.

This would require a more in depth, in person exam and conversation. There are many ways to go about fixing this but requires more information. Be sure to choose a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in this procedure and is well known for it.

Buttock implants that were properly placed into the intramuscular tissue plane do not migrate, displace, or break through the muscle into the subcutaneous tissue plane at five months after surgery, especially not both sides symmetrically. I have heard this very similar story/concern many times before from other patients, so I am guessing that they were probably never actually put in the muscle and rather they were always on top of the muscle. As they settled into place and the swelling went down over five months, it became evident that they were indeed on top of the muscle - this is the most likely story. That all being said, what needs to happen now is for them to be removed from the subcutaneous pocket and repositioned into the intramuscular pocket. This can usually be done all in one surgery. You may also want to consider changing to a more form-stable and anatomic shaped implant such a Stanton Anatomic gluteal implant which will also help avoid the gumdrop appearance that round and silicone gel implants create while bending over. Glad to be of help.
