Posted under Butt Implants q&a

Why are my butt implants sagging? Why does gluteus seem atrophied around it, causing small but frequent sciatic pain? (Photo)

2 yrs ago 09/2015 I had butt augmentation. I was noticing a gradual flattening of my gluteus even w legs exercises. Now, this past month I feel moderate sciatic pain. It seems that my muscles around the implant are atrophied. The implant is very apparent. They are still in place but seems to be losing "grip. " I'll seek to remove them with a certified plastic surgeon. Is it common to have this outcome from butt implants and what is the recovery like from removing them?
