Hello! I received butt implants and now the skin below the implants is saggy. The surgeon advised that going with a longer implant would put me at high risk for implant displacement or flipping. If I get an infragluteal thigh lift, will the scars be hidden in creases? I haven't been able to find before and after photos for this procedure online. I have very low body fat (no pinchable fat anywhere), so fat transfer is not an option.

Answer: The problem with implants The lack of sufficient longitudinal augmentation is only one of many problems with gluteal implants. The list of complications and undesirable side effects of this procedure is longer than any other operation. I think I’ve ever seen. Would your experiencing is only one of many undesirable side effects of the surgery. I wouldn’t have any operation. I couldn’t see an impressive collection of before and after pictures of first. Simply finding a provider who has enough skill with this procedure is going to be difficult. Consider consulting with the guy who first described the thong lift Dr Constantino Meditta. I’m curious how many before and after pictures you saw before deciding to have gluteal implants? Did any of those patients have the same deformity? Fat transfer isn’t really the correct solution, but I do think you have enough fat on your body to harvest fat for a fat transfer if that was to be the correct solution. Individuals who have thin layers of subcutaneous fat just need more areas treated. For limited fat transfer areas, we don’t really need that much fat. In your case, I’m not sure that fat transfer is the solution. Dr. Stanton may respond to your post and recommend you use his custom made implants. I’m not sure if that is going to make all that much difference. The number of plastic surgeons who do gluteal implants well on a consistent basis is pretty small. Most plastic surgeons don’t wanna have anything to do with this procedure. There’s a good reason for that. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
