Can I get bigger butt implants placed? (Photo)

Question

My current butt implants I've had for almost 9 years. They are now uneven. Can I get a bigger pair immediately placed in? Do I need to get the 9 year old ones removed, heal, then get bigger ones? How long will butt implant replacement surgery be?

Gluteal implants have a long list of complications and undesirable side effects. There are a handful of surgeons mastered how to do the procedure correctly. There are a few things that seems to make the procedure give it a more consistent high quality outcome with decreased complications and side effects.
The first is placing implants intramuscularly exclusively.
The second is limiting the size of the implant to what actually fits inside the gluteus muscle.
Larger implants are associated with higher complication rates and higher undesirable side effects.
This includes the implants shifting into an undesirable position.
By going bigger you’re increasing the chance of what you currently don’t like about your implants.
Opting for large implants that are not placed intramuscularly is a recipe for a long-term problem outcome.
Most patients will eventually fail gluteal implants and removing implants especially large ones can leave people disfigured.
There seems to be no shortage of people in certain geographic locations offering gluteal implants on a regular basis but in the United States most plastic surgeons use constraint.
