Well I had got 712 cc butt implants lipo and fat transfer to the hips with dr Johnny Franco on July 14,2016 . The initial procedure was $10,800. I was very excited about getting some projection done to my back area the doctor was very responsive and answered all my questions fast forward after I got the procedure I was happy with my results. Now just to give an ideal of my body shape and size I'm about 5 feet five and 140 pounds. The implants looked really nice for a few months then about three months later I started to notice that the implants were sagging. The implants just fell so low it looked horrible. I honestly didn't know what was going on. I just thought maybe I was tripping but really the implants were just too low. People would laugh people would stare it was just very noticeable. After Christmas I decided to contact the surgeon and explain to him what was going on I sent him pictures and let them know that I wasn't happy. I honestly was depressed seriously my butt was just ugly. Now if I put on a tight dress yeah it will look good but wearing leggings or pants my butt just say to low . The doctor agreed that the implants did fallhe said this was the second time he seen this basically saying is very rare. We discussed pricing and he gave me a quote for like 3900 after going back-and-forth we came upon a price of 3200 which was somewhat fear all I had to pay for was the anesthesia the butt implants and the Hospital usage. Dr Franco told me he recommends that I go with 548 cc implants and that's what we agreed to.
Fast forward February 8, 2017 I got the procedure done the implants were definitely smaller and a lot more natural . The healing process was actually hell . Somehow I ended up getting a infection in my butt I don't know how I just know that my butt was leaking a lot of fluid so much that I had to wear a diaper and I went to the hospital and they immediately admitted me saying something was wrong. After getting a CAT scan they determined that I had an infection and had me on a lot of antibiotics. I contacted dr Franco letting him know what was going on I just feel he really didn't care . He was real dry about it . The last time I spoke to him was when I was in the hospital . I just decided not to call him back . And he has yet called me to check on me . It's okay because I'm almost a month post op and I'm healing slowly but surely . I just wish I would have gotten the smaller implants first instead of having to get this surgery twice . I do like the way the 548 looks right now hopefully they don't fall like the last ones .

Just be considerate that 712 cc is huge it may not look as huge but once it's in it's in and hunny it's huge if your the same size as me I don't recommend it I believe 548cc would be great ❤
March 15, 2017
Hey you are right when l saw you immediately change my mind your 548 look huge l had a bbl last year in april she said l don't need fat around my implants but l want more around the implant cause that will make it a little more bigger lol yours look huge to me so im going to go with the 548 cause l don't have time for no revision we already payn alot of coins for these surgeries to be having problems thanks alot for the advice l go april 12th ill let you know how l came out
March 14, 2017
Wow! I was going to get the 712cc with him but after seeing this I'm going to reconsider. Does he place all his implants under the muscle?
User Avatar
March 14, 2017
I'm not sure exactly where he places them . I would think because the implants was sagging it wasn't placed under the muscle but I'm not sure . I know that when I went the second time he did state that he was placing it under the muscle.. I just honestly think that the 712cc implants are really really huge and I would recommend the 548 cc
March 15, 2017
Hmm I understand, just that some girls here wish they went bigger and I don't want that, someone else got 548cc with him and she said it's nice but sometimes she wishes she went bigger

Wow well not me lol that 712 implant is so heavy if I throw it at your eye I'm sure it'll turn black

He doesn’t do under the muscles. He only offers subfacial. Implants fell through because it’s subfacial not because it’s too big . If it was size issues incision wouldn’t have closed... Hopefully you didn’t get done with him .

Hi thank you for sharing your experience I had butt implants done 9 months ago with Dr. Franco and I'm not happy since day one my right butt cheek hurts and they are very very low I have 548ccs the implant is also very noticeable I've contact him and yes he seems pretty dry . I got a second opinions with a doctor here in California and they ve told me that the implants are very very low . That it might be necessary to put them intramuscular or sow the pocket .Dr. Franco said to me they are low because that's were my butt ends where the crease . You looks amazing with 548 can you tell me if they have dropped again? Did he see the pockets for you? I'm happy with 548 butt like you said I feel like people laugh because they are very low very unnatural

Hi. Thank you for sharing. Did you get your 548s taken out? I had the 548s and I’m getting them taken out and he also will be doing a “thong butt lift” I thought about getting them repositioned and replaced with a smaller one but I just dont want to deal with implants anymore. He gave me such a bad experience. My 548s are saggy and so fake looking people comment and strangers laugh at me it’s horrible!
December 29, 2017
Same here. InezMartinez80. I’m just having him take mine out next week. Are you going to try switching sizes?
User Avatar
December 29, 2017
I actually had them removed already . I’ll be seeing him next month to get a thong lift . I don’t want any implants near my body lol
December 30, 2017
You are very generous with him . I don’t think I can have him touch me at all ... Best luck from bottom of my heart. ;)

Hi Lovveepiink, I hope you are healing ok and doing better! Your review is literally one of the best and most genuine reviews in here!! Thank you so much for sharing with us. I too am lookin to get butt implants, but in Dominican Republic. After reading your review and others I am starting to second guess it. I really do value your opinions because of your experience and knowledge. Can you take a look at my butt implant review when you get a chance? From your experience and knowledge about buttock surgeries do you think I would reach my goal with implants or bbl? Thanks so so so much.

Hello love ! Thank u for looking at my review . I’m honestly never going to recommend butt implants I think with a good Tt and lipo you could achieve a nice bbl . I think Cabral or Duran will give you the look that you want . But implants are just not what up to me . It’s not natural they can possibly fall and your butt won’t feel real
