2 weeks since I removed my implants - I'm very happy so far

Butt implant removal

Angelina4321
WORTH IT
It's been two weeks since I removed my implants and I'm very happy so far. I had some pain, specially on left side, the first couple of days but after removing the drains the pain started going away. I've been sleeping on my sides since day 4. I was initially going to wait two weeks but I hurt my knee and I could not lay on my stomach any longer and the doctor said it was ok. The doctor also said I can sit now, but my butt is still sore so I'm avoiding until I have to sit or the soreness goes away. The pain is way less than how it was when I initially got the implants. I removed them with doctor Z in Miami and I'm so happy I chose him. I was very anxious before the surgery and Doctor Z and every nurse and medical professional I spoke with the day of the surgery took the time to answer my questions and ultimately help me feel safe. He even called me over the weekend because I had a question about the pain I was feeling. When it comes to the shape, I hope it stays just how it looks right now but I think it's going to go down some because I'm probably still swollen. I have some new dimples that you can't see that well in the pictures I uploaded and some sagging but I don't care. Im looking forward to being fully healed and going back to the gym.

You look amazing!!!

Thank you! How are you doing?
January 24, 2024
I'm doing great, Thank you! If it wasn't for this cellulite I'd feel like a million bucks. I had some very superficial cellulite on my lower but to start with but since removal I've got new areas that are deeper and higher up on my butt cheeks, its a bummer for ire but there is a new treatment called Aveli that looks promising that I may try.
January 24, 2024
Oh yea, I have so much cellulite now. I had a little before on the lower part of my buttcheeks but now it's all over. I'm hoping that once I start working out it'll get a little better but if it doesn't I may look into treatments for it. I've heard of Aveli too. My surgeon offers it.

How did this end up? I just removed mine a week ago and would love to hear from you

Hi, I'm still recovering. It's been 5 weeks for me. The swelling is mostly gone, I think. The size is smaller now but I still have a butt. I don't really see any sagging so far. It jiggles a lot more than before lol. I have more cellulite now and I didn't have this much before. I know the tissues are still healing so I'm hoping that once I'm fully healed and I start working out again the cellulite will get a little better. I can sit down now but it gets sore after about 1-2 hours, so I alternate between sitting and standing while working. I'll post new pictures next week

Ive been wearing compression shorts 24/7. The doctor told me to wear them for 3 months to help the tissues heal better and avoid sagging. I did notice some sagging the first 1-2 weeks but I don't see it anymore. The butt just looks smaller now

How many days did u use drainage?… Did her remove the capsule?.
February 9, 2024
I had the drains for 3 days. He said he removed most of the capsule.
February 9, 2024
Thank you for answering, How are you feeling now?,
February 11, 2024
I feel great. I feel more confident wearing tight clothing now that I don't have the implants. I'm back at the gym now. I haven't tried running because the muscle still feels a little sore. I'm happy with the way my butt looks too. The only part i don't like is that i have a lot of cellulite now, specially on my right butt cheek. I'm happy with the size too so I don't plan on getting a bbl. I may, at some point, do something like sculptra just to fill the spots where I have cellulite if it doesn't go away with the gym. I keep forgetting to take new pictures but I'll try to take some new ones to update the review

Wow you look absolutely amazing! You are giving me hope. Thank you so much for uploading. How long did you have our implants in? How many cc's? And are they inside the muscle?
February 26, 2024
Thank you! I paid $6500 but his regular price is $7500. I got $1000 off because it was over the holidays. My implants were 455 ccs and in the muscle.

I’m uploading some new pictures. I’m back at the gym now. I feel much better about my body now that the implants are out. I didn’t have any health issues or complications when i had the implants in, but I just didn’t want them anymore because I’m very active.
I’m happy with how my butt looks too. I have new cellulite, mostly on my right side. I’m hoping it’ll get better now that I’m working out again. I’m still wearing my compression shorts. The doctor told me to wear it for 3 months, so I have a month to go. He told me he removed most of the capsule. I recommend Dr Z and his team. They’ve been great at answering all my questions even weeks after the surgery.

You look so good! Did he also insert fat after removal, or just removal. I’m getting mine removed in a month and unsure.
February 26, 2024
No just removal. The doctor told me to wait at least 6 months after removal before doing anything so everything is healed

Do you ever miss your butt implants? And is your butt bigger than before implants after removal? (Some doctors said it makes the tissue bigger, etc)
March 19, 2024
I haven't missed my implants at all since I removed them. I wish I would have removed them sooner. I'm actually looking forward to wearing bikinis now. I think my butt is bigger than before implants. I don't know if it's due to how I'm working out now or due to the implant surgery but yes it's a little bigger now.

You look amazing, you really didn't need the implant, I don't know how it looked on you prior to removing it but I can tell you that your butt is nicely shaped.
July 8, 2024
I want mine removed now. But I’m scared my butt will sag. How did you get your done. Inside the muscle or just on the outside
August 27, 2024
Mine was inside the muscle. The size has decreased since I removed them but I'm still very happy. I feel so much better wearing bikinis in public. I feel like I have my body back

I think I’m probably fully healed at this point and no longer swollen. Still happy I removed the implants. I feel more like myself now.
