I got butt implants in the muscle in Oct17th, now I have serious cellulite behind my thighs right below the implants! This cellulite was never there before as I was always very thin with super skinny legs!! I believe the implants are pushing fat down and creating cellulite? Is this possible? What can I do? I regret getting these implants as they’ve been nothing but trouble and look very unnatural even at almost 1 year post op! Please help.

If you suspect a problem please follow up with your implanting plastic surgeon for an examination. this is the only way to be sure you are healing properly.
Arian Mowlavi, MD, FACS (license on probation) says:
We have been performing buttocks implants for well over 10 years and provide epidural to patients who do not want to be placed under anesthesia routinely. A consultation with a buttocks specialist can help alleviate all of your concerns.
In my experience, you will need to get your implants removed. At this point the infection is most likely too far gone to be affected by antibiotics and it can get dangerous if the infection get into your bloodstream. Please visit your surgeon immediately.
