I had gluteal implants done in March 2015. They were rounds and didn't fit my body properly. I went with rounds because of the fact I lift weights and had heard the ovals tend to spin. Well, with the rounds I have a double bubble. This is incorrect and isn't going to settle into the proper position. I'm not a fool. This has been the most emotionally draining summer ever. I can't live like this so the revision must be done.
Financially speaking, I really don't have the money and I'm having to use more credit than I am comfortable with. Besides the actual proceedure I have the expense of a hotel, rental car and airfare for two. Totally upsetting.Emotionally speaking, if I'm not even able to put into words how upsetting this has been. I get to go through all the pain again with the benefit of walking through LAX after surgery and flying 6 hours home. But it needs to be done. I'm a freak that can't go out in a bathing suit or anything form fitting. It was bad enough before surgery. I had the surgery to improve my self-esteem. Instead, I feel alone and sad and totally unattractive. I feel I have been robbed of not just my money but what little self-esteem I had to begin with.I've decided to go to Dr. Stanton in California. He's done quite a few revisions for the same problem I'm having and they turned out nicely. I may not look exactly like what I want but at least I'll look normal again. I can't find excitement over having one of the toughest surgeries AGAIN. Nor do I expect miracles. Some girls get a great shape from this surgery. I'll be lucky to have a normal appearance. I'm bummed out and ready to have it done with all at the same time but I still have to wait.I'll let you know how it all goes.

To all you out there with words of encouragement and support, I want to say thank you! When I initially started going through the motions for this second surgery I was terrified and justifiably outraged. Without all your kind words I feel I would still be feeling very down and out. I'm actually starting to get excited about looking nice, at least normal, and my pants fitting properly. I'm also excited about getting to wear my exercise clothes again.
So a big thank you to all of you out there who care enough to send well wishes my way!

Hi We have more or less the same bum. Also flat in de middle because of training the gluten on top of the buttocks is good. I see that the the flat part has not improved as much as you wanted . It seems they put the implants on top of your gluten what was not needed at all. What do you think? Would it be difficult to tackle the flat part?

What happened is they used round implants and mist women need oval shaped implants. The implant is sub or intra muscular but it isn't the right shape for my body. As is, dr. Stanton is going to replace my rounds with ovals, hopefully his personally developed ovals so I can lift weights without fear of them rotating. This should be the correction needed for the flat part.

Hi how did you experience. I ask because I went to see a cosmetic surgeon in the hospital. He told me not to do the implants. How did you experience the healing process?
September 2, 2016
It was actually worse than I imagined. I've had plenty of plastic surgery and this is, by far, the worst recovery I ever had. I'm seriously not looking forward to doing it again. My last doctor said I was healing well and I never got any infection. However I found out I was allergic to one of the antibiotics and broke out in a rash that didn't go away for days. I'm still healing from the first surgery. And hopefully with the revision my right butt cheek won't hurt as much after they use the Oval implant. It's tough but do-able. But it's a surgery you don't take lightly.

Thanks for your answer. Puts it into perspective. You recommend oval implants?
September 7, 2016
I make no recommendations other than to visit a certified plastic surgeon who has done many implants and uses both rounds and ovals. If they only offer one type or the other walk away. Because we are not all built the same. But what Dr Stanton told me is most women are oval shaped. My suggestion is to contact a reputable surgeon, such as Dr. Stanton and consult with him, or another surgeon of your choice. Please do extensive research before making your final decision.

Somewhere along the line I had almost forgotten has bad my butt looks,especially in stretch pants. I've been wearing some stretch pants for a couple days now and never gave it a second thought. I never even looked in the mirror to check my appearance. Well...needless to say, today I looked. OMG!!! I believe I have made the right choice in having it revised.
