Were my butt implants placed too low? There's no upper pole on right side (Photo)

Question

They are 600cc implants. There is no upper pole on the right side and I'm not sure why it looks so flat.

More information is needed prior to answering  your inquiry.  Are your implants round or oval, silicone rubber or gel, intramuscular or not, and how long ago where they put in?  Additionally, similar angle before photos would be very helpful. With this information, you may want to then schedule at least a virtual consultation. Glad to help.

Hi
I agree there is an asymmetry in the pictures you are showing. This could be possibly related to implant pocket creation or the implant hasn't settled. Im not sure when the implants were placed. I suggest you speak with your plastic surgeon regarding your concerns and the next steps. I wish you the best of luck

To assess the outcome of an operation we have to see you proper before and after pictures. If you don’t have those than ask your surgeon to forward the ones they took.

Questions regarding the outcome of your procedure are best addressed by the surgeon who did your operation.

Gluteal implants are tricky and the majority of plastic surgeons in the United States don’t offer the procedure. There’s a good reason why people don’t do this operation.

Implants need to be placed intramuscularly and if not they are at risk for moving, flipping, rotating and showing their edges.

The procedure simply has a higher degree and rate of complications and undesirable side effects and this is why most plastic surgeons don’t offer it.

The number of people who are 100% pleased with the outcome long-term Israel activity slow.

Revision and failure rate for this procedure is likewise high

Follow up with the surgeon who did your procedure. If you want a proper second opinion consultation then schedule one of those with other plastic surgeons who have a lot of experience with gluteal implants.

Best,
