Hi All. I have decided (and booked) to have my buttock implants removed by the same Dr who placed them. I am sharing this experience with others because I shared the experience of having them inserted. This review is not to put people off having buttock implants, I have seen many done overseas which seem to have worked out just fine. I am sharing only how I experience things and it may be helpful to someone who is either having theirs removed or who would like to see both sides of the coin before doing anything. I will try to update as much as I can as the procedure date gets closer (17 Dec) but my pre-op appointment isn't until 8 Dec so there won't be much to share until then. I will post some pictures both standing and bending over so that you can see what they look like in both positions. As I said, anyone who writes a review is sharing a personal experience and I am in no way pro or against buttock implants, they just didn't work out for me.

I'm 11 months post removal. They weren't for me either.
November 12, 2015
Awesome, thanks for letting me know. I will read your journey now.

How long did you have yours for?
Highly recommend wearing a super tight compression garnet for the 1st 6 weeks, it will look so scary at 1st but just know it gets better with time. If you have any questions or just need to chat please just send me a private message anytime.

I've had them a year. Thank you for the info on the compression garment - will do. And I will no doubt be in touch - I really appreciate you reaching out and sharing.

Hi Armywife, I just got my implants done, just implants no grafting. I'm about 3 days out. I just noticed a big dimple, sort of dip on one cheek that wasn't there before because I was lean. Would a compression garment help that kind of thing do u think? Or is that just for bbl?
November 23, 2015
How long did you have them for? Were they over like mine?
December 17, 2015
Why you chose not to keep them?
December 17, 2015
Hi hopefully I have answered your question in below posts
January 5, 2016
Hi just wondering, why did you take them out in the first place? Did you regret it as soon as you had the procedure done?
January 6, 2016
Hi Jess, I loved them at first. My butt was lovely and pert and round looking but it didn't really dawn on me that everything was so swollen. There is obviously a lot of trauma to the area with creating the pockets in the muscle and shoving something large into there. It was only when the swelling went down and I started to shop for new clothes that I realised that it didn't look quite right. Then when I bent over in front of a mirror I nearly had a heart attack - it looked awful (as you can see in the pics). In clothes I looked great but in bathers or naked - yuck.

Hi hope you are doing well . Thank you so much for this educational journey that you made. See I really wonder always why this happened that way, I look your pictures and I wonder probably the implants were to much bigger than they should be for you body . And other thing, maybe they were implant on top of the muscle , instead under the muscle .
January 23, 2016
in what country this surgery was made?
February 22, 2016
Hi, the implants were actually in the muscle and done in Australia. The problem with surgery of this sort in Australia is that there is not a lot of it done so the doctors aren't as experienced as the US or DR

Sorry to hear...and what shape and cc are they now?
December 15, 2015
Hi. Don't quote me on this because I don't have any paperwork in front of me but I believe they are round 320cc. Australia has a size limit and I believe that is the largest you can get here.

If you don't have fat on your lower Butt, it will look funny like that.
Happen to me also, I did mine in Brazil with Dr Sergio Leite, the worse !!! he place a breast implant on my Butt that is for sure, on top that he did not place them on the same position.
I'm Glad you shared your experience, I will remove mine also.
Jess how people can realize results right after the procedure? impossible, I have to give time after the surgery to see the bad results, and get my conclusion.
That was a big mistake, I have to find a good doctor in USA to remove it for me.
June 22, 2016
Thank you for sharing your experience too. I'm sure there are Dr's who do great work but unfortunately not ours. My surgeon never said anything about not having enough fat etc which as you said, I think makes a big difference. Keep us posted with your journey and I'm here if you need support when you remove them x

Before Photo's

barbienomore
Ok so I finally got around to taking some photo's. I apologise in advance that they are far from great but they do show the real situation. I also realised that I had not said why I am having them removed so here we go:

1. They feel like I have my ph in my back pocket (both) when I wear jeans
2. They are uncomfortable to sit on when lying in bed working on my laptop
3. They are noticeable when I bend over and are not conducive to feeling sexy
4. I am uncomfortable at the beach and not game to bend over in bathers
5. They are very easily felt by anyone grabbing your behind
6. The scar is sometimes quite sore when I have been sitting for awhile (and I have a desk job so that's a big issue)
7. Above all else, I am more self conscious now than when I had no butt

Hi totally can relate to the above. When I was on holiday it totally shattered my confidence, it was very noticeable I had implants to every1! How embarrassing! I can't believe i paid £5000 to ruin my behind.
Had mine removed recently n my butt looks so bad. Flying to Miami for a BBL on Sept.
good luck

It takes time for the skin to look better. I'm 11 months post removal myself
November 22, 2015
All yes's for me too!
Yesterday I had a Thai massage & at 1 point the therapist had her knees on my glutes. You know if I still had my implants I would be like "excuse me ma'am but you need to get off of those before you hurt yourself"lol I'm PM you my cell # so please stay in touch :)
November 22, 2015
You crack me up, I really needed that giggle. I had some massages after I had them done thinking they might soften up and feel more natural but your right - that's a big no, no they don't ;P
November 22, 2015
Nope! Sometimes they would be like relax ma'am relax. I'm thinking to myself "I'm relaxed believe me, those are my super hard implants I'm not flexing I swear.lol
November 23, 2015
HI I am so sorry that the implants did not workout for you. How soon did you notice the implant coming through?. I also went to dr briggs. I need one repositened and the other look I can see the outline like yours. I also feel pain when sitting and feel the implant. I sent an email to dr Stanton. If you look him up he does heaps of implants he told me mine are both placed wrong. He could tell from the pic. Also they were not under the muscle enough. Would you please private msg me. Look up my account to. Thank you so much. So sorry again.

I'm sorry but the ladies contributing here are great and your intimation that we aren't good people already is unappreciated here. If you are uninterested in the journey please move along.

Oh ok, I just read the comment explaining. I understand.
