I made the mistake of getting butt implants 2 years ago and now I want to take them out because the edges show and it’s a bit too big for my body. I’m nervous that taking them out will make my butt sag. Is there anyway to make sure it will not sag after removal? I’m looking into maybe boosting my collagen or working out prior to surgery. I’m 28 and 135lbs.
Answer: Butt Implant Removal Thanks for your question and the photo you provided. For patients wanting to downsize their implants or remove them completely, I recommend fat grafting and skin tightening to the buttocks. This will help prevent that sag you are concerned about. You may also build you buttock muscles with EmSculpt post op to help with your buttock appearance. Make sure you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!

Answer: Removing butt implants and worried about sagging… More photo angles, including bent over profile and oblique views would be very helpful. Additionally, before photos and more details about your implants is needed (i.e., size, shape, tissue plane “pocket”) before providing much useful feedback. Of course, an in person physical exam would be most useful. That all being said, there exists NO special “collagen boosting” formula/injection that will make any difference other than drain your wallet of hard earned money. Working out after removal may provide some benefit but that depends upon all the above details. On a final note, fat transfer following implants removal provides little benefit. Glad to help.

Answer: Butt implant removal must be done by a BBL revision specialist Based on your pictures, you are an excellent candidate for a simultaneous butt implant removal and fat grafting transfer. This procedure is technical and requires advanced tools and expert technique. First, an ultrasound probe must be used to ensure that the transferred fat does not get into the pocket created by the implant once the implant is removed as this will result in the death of all the fat. Second, use of VASER liposuction to harvest the fat will be required since you probably don’t have much fat to begin with since you elected to have a butt implant rather than a BBL the first time go around. Additionally, VASER allows for thinner layer of fat grafting that is required for refilling of the area where the implant was previously positioned. This is because this layer has been thinned out and can only accept liquified fat that is harvested using VASER technology. Fat should also be harvested with 1) a closed looped system to process the fat in order to optimize transfer time and avoid your fat from becoming contaminated and 2) strategic micro-packet transplant technique that maximizes graft take. These processes have demonstrated over 90% fat graft take. Finally, we must consider whether you will need a skin tightening maneuver such as a lateral thigh and buttock tuck that might be required if you have sagging buttock skin. Last but not least, attention must be given to providing you the buttock shape that YOU desire. This means using our proprietary BBL assessment tool.One of the most common reasons for disgruntled Butt implant patients is that patients are not able to accurately communicate their desired buttocks goals to their surgeons. Our buttock assessment tool can be an invaluable tool to communicate to your surgeon the exact buttocks size and shape you are desiring. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a BBL specialist can help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.
