I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome hypermobility type so my skin is very elastic. This made my breast implants look/feel really lovely and "natural." But w/my BBL it did cause my butt to sag & I had to lose weight to rein that in. I guess there's more structural support for dual plane implants than for butt flesh. Is there structural support for the cheeks & lips or will fat transfer to them make my face look like it's melting? There's very little EDS research so I'm happy with anyone's best guess.
