Butt implants

Hello,

I have a question about butt implants. I was looking at the before and after photos and I noticed that the skin elasticity is still very poor on most of the women that have had this procedure. I thought to myself why would I pay all this money for a bigger behind and still have dimples and rippled looking skin. Is there a co-procedure that can be done to make the butt look flawless?

Procedure: Body Contouring
Location: Bellflower, CA

Dear Nique77,

Hello and thank you for your excellent question. A buttock implant alone will not address loose buttock skin. If this is your concern, you have a number of options. These range from skin excision procedures, to microneedling, to energy-based devices like lasers, radiofrequency, and others. It is best to answer your question during a face-to-face evaluation, when you can discuss your goals and expectations for the procedure, and you can have a physical examination to evaluate for that procedure. I recommend that you find a board-certified, or board-eligible plastic surgeon with whom you are comfortable. Be sure to have all of your questions answered during a face-to-face meeting with your surgeon, and review before and after pictures of similar patients whom have had this procedure. If you have any questions, call our office for assistance. Good luck!

If you have a dimple cellfina may be a better option. If the buttocks are drooping then a lift is a better option and an implant may be contraindicated. The implants are limited by their high complication rate and restricted area in which they can be placed. If you need more than the limited area augmented then fat grafting is a better option. From the limited information in your post it is impossible to say what your best option is. You will need to consult face to face with one or more surgeons to find this out.

You will benefit from a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) and the best place to get it is in Miami, the BBL capital of the world, not California.
