I had butt implants put in 7 years ago by a NYC plastic surgeon. It was placed above the muscle. How long does the procedure take to remove implants? Can I have them removed under local anesthesia?

Answer: Removing gluteal implants It may be easy enough to remove gluteal implants if that’s all that’s being done but there may be other issues that need to be done during the procedure such as anchoring a superficial gluteal side to the deep side so that the skin doesn’t slide down over the space that’s created from the implant augmentation. I’ve seen patients whose bottom slides done with gravity with straightforward implant removal because the surgeon did not put in sutures to anchor or secure the skin side to the muscle side in the correct anatomic location.
