Preparing to Get my Butt Implants Removed!

WORTH IT$5,900
So I got my butt implants 3 years ago I believe 500 cc, round with Dr Wilberto Cortez. Surgery went well and I didn’t really have complications healing. I will say his lips around my abdomen was butchered and so now my tummy has kinda lumps on it. (I’ll post pics tomorrow). My butt looked great until all the swelling went down and when I would bend over you could see the implants because my butt looked almost pointy. So I was always self conscious about that. Additionally, if I sat or payed in certain positions (even to this day, not just while healing) I would get numbness, and really bad pain where the implants are. So I’ve literally been living my life like I’m handicapped in some ways and have to lay a certain way, sit a certain way, and move a certain way. It’s exhausting. The other issue I had about a year ago when I was playing with my kids and rolled off the edge of the couch and my right implant FLIPPED. I was mortified like luckily it was in my home and I could literally just grab it and flip it back around. SO I’ve had that fear of it flipping again ever since. Oh, and the bottom of my butt is saggy now from the weight of the implants! Now due to a career change which requires running (which I could do but it is a lot harder with implants) I scheduled to have my butt implants removed. I literally have zero reservations and should have gotten them out years ago.
I’ll post Pics before/after so you ladies can have more perspectives if you’re having issues and deciding if you want them out!

So I got them removed May 28th so it’s been about 3 weeks. I did not get any lipo or fat transfer (I’m poor lol and literally buying a house as a single mother so it wasn’t even an option for me) But the surgery went well less than 45 min, woke up and there was some pain just at incision and where the pockets were.
Much easier recovery, NO DRAINS were needed, no stitches, just surgical glue which held perfectly until it naturally came off about week post op.
Dr Morales was amazing and reduced the huge scar Dr Cortez left.
Let’s talk sagging... now first couple weeks were rough! I think it was because my implants were big and SO HEAVY. But I promise every couple days a see slight improvement. I was sent home with huge, abdominal to knee compression garments but dr said I could just get compression shorts which I got the Nike Pro training shorts which have worked great.
Also I know some of my sagging is because I used to work out regularly like lifting so I had muscle built up but because I literally COULD NOT WORK OUT or even run with those heavy implants I lost ALL muscle so I will be sure to update in a month, 6 months, etc so yall can see just building up my flutes will lift everything substantially. We hope. Lol
But idgaf what my butt looks like honestly I feel so FREE without them. Like liberated like I’m no longer handicapped. So worth it!

It gets better with time! Mine was so dented looking the first week but it’s been 2 months and looks like it did before I had it removed (only 1 implant lol) because of complications. I go back June 17 for a bbl but honestly I don’t need it, just want a bigger bum. So hang in there! It’ll fluff out eventually and start doing some squats ;)

Okay good to know! Even in this last week I’ve seen such a big improvement! It’s fluffing lol

Yes.

Do you think your butt has more volume now than pre implants? I'm planning to have mine removed too. I just wanna do it locally
May 31, 2021
Maybe slightly, but it’s hard to tell how it will change in the next few months.

You look amazing! I had mine removed and I think it was the best decision. Like you, idgaf about what it looks like now. No lift no fat transfer. My confidence is like night and day! Congratulations!

Yeeessss like I’m more confident that I don’t have to bend a certain way, move a certain way, not run or sit directly on the implant!! Like lesson learned! I wish girls would save that 15k and just work out for a lil extra butt and save themselves all the pain and suffering. Congrats to you too!! We made it out!

I’m so happy for you! I agree, we let society make us think something is wrong when really we are beautiful with what we have. It’s definitely not worth what we had to go thru! <3

Feeling 90% back to normal! Still tender if I sit for long periods of time on something hard... the muscle is still healing from being cut open to remove the implant I think but no nerve pains like when I got them in. Also a normal shape is starting to come back as well. I feel so lucky to have them out!

If you have a pic of what you looked like with the implants in you should post it so people can see how incredibly you healed ❤️

TY! Yes I did but I honestly don’t think much stayed bc I didn’t have a lot of fat to use and I have a fast metabolism. I think the main difference from before the implants is probably the pocket adds a tiny bit of padding in the implants exact spot.

You look fabulous! Cortes did mine too and I am more insecure now than before implants! Ready to remove mine as well.

June 2, 2021
Congrats! You look amazing. I feel like we have similar body shape. I recently opened an IG account where I'm documenting my journey till removal.
