How Can I Get My Sagging Buttock Implants Lifted?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I am looking for quotes to have my butt revised with adding mesh to hold up the implants. I have now had two different butt implant procedures. The doctor said he did his best with what was possible and maybe mesh could work but hes not experinced in this. I can feel the implant falling and do not sit on it ever. I have mesh in my breasts and that has been helpful. I do not need new implants just mesh added and possily moving it into a different spot

A: The mesh concept can be an effective method for implant support. But unlike the breasts, with inframammary incisions which provide access to exactly where the mesh support needs to be added, the intergluteal incision for buttock implants only allows access to the superior side of the implant. Unless one is going to come from below with an infragluteal incision  teh only potential technique would be to remove the implant, wrap them in mesh and then re-insert them. Whether this can be done in your case requires more information about your prior buttock implant surgery.
