Butt Implant Removal in Turkey - Comprehensive Guide

A detailed guide to butt implant removal in Turkey, including procedures, recovery, costs, and benefits of choosing Turkish clinics.

What Is Butt Implant Removal? 

The procedure involves the removal of the silicone implants used during the butt enhancement procedure.  

Typically, buttock implants enhance the gluteal area in men and women. Due to the particular function and location of the buttocks, the implants must withstand prolonged movement and pressure, particularly in the sitting position. 

Doctors may recommend butt implant removal to ease the side effects and help the patient lead a normal lifestyle. 

What Causes Patients to Remove Buttocks Implant?

The butt implant incision is close to the anus, an area prone to wound infections. 

Here are popular situations when butt implant removal is ideal:

Infection: The incisions during a butt implant may be difficult to treat using antibiotics alone, due to the lack of blood vessels within the implant. In that case, an infected buttock implant will require removal. 

Extrusion: a wound healing problem, infection, or constant pressure on the butt implant eventually results in extrusion of the buttock implant. Once the doctor identifies the extrusion, the buttock implant is removed, and takes necessary steps to provide adequate coverage of the buttock implant with healthy tissue. 

Nerve Compression: Butt implants may compress the critical nerves, leading to weakness or numbness of the associated leg. In such cases, the doctor may recommend butt implant removal. 

Asymmetry: uneven butts result after buttock implants due to accentuation of pre-existing asymmetry or irregular placement of buttock implants. 

Shifting: buttock implants may shift, resulting in asymmetry, uneven results, or deformity of the butts. In such circumstances, buttock implant removal could be the recommended action.

Personal dissatisfaction: if you’re dissatisfied with the butt implants, you may prefer butt implant removal to return to the natural appearance before the implants. 

Butt Implant Removal Alternative Treatments

Consider fat grafting if you must undergo implant removal but still want to keep enhanced buttocks. 

Fat grafting is often called Brazilian buttock lift, which requires harvesting and transferring body fat into the buttocks, and is one of the best implant removal options. 

Buttocks Implant Removal Recovery Time

Medical professionals predict that the recovery time after a butt implant removal is usually around 4 to 6 weeks. It is of paramount importance that you follow the surgeon’s instructions, be it dietary restraints or medicinal prescriptions. Your rest is as important as the procedure as it helps accelerate the healing process. 

How Butt Implant Removal Surgery is Performed?

The surgeon administers general anesthesia so that they can begin the procedure which takes around an hour to complete. You are likely to be disoriented when you wake up so it is advised that you have someone with you to take you home after. 

Once under anesthesia, the surgeon will follow the pattern of the same incisions you had for the insertion of the implant.

Step 1: Anesthesia

The doctor injects general anesthesia, so the patient does not feel pain during the incisions. 

Step 2: Incision 

The surgeon makes incisions in the same sites used to insert silicone butt implants. 

Step 3: Removal of butt implants 

Once the surgeon has made the incisions, the removal of but implants begins. The procedure will leave the capsules of scar tissue that form around them naturally. 

Step 4: Closing the incisions 

Once the surgeon has removed the incisions, the closure is done, and the insertion of tube drains to remove excess fluid buildup during recovery is done. 

Side Effects of Bum Implant Removal Procedure

There could be some after-effect reactions that you can experience from a bum plant removal procedure.

  • Wound healing-related infections
  • Swelling and bruising
  • Fluid build up in the buttocks *(seroma)
  • Long lasting marks
  • Persistent pain 

Butt Implant Removal Surgery Results

How To Prepare For Buttock Implant Removal Surgery?

  • Prep beforehand the total cost of what you will spend on your trip as well as additional costs to the procedure

  • Consult with your doctor about any pre-existing medications you may be taking so the operation doesn’t face unforeseen circumstances

  • As alluded to above, you’re likely to feel wonky after the procedure so make sure you have someone you trust with you, especially in recovery 

  • If you’re a smoker you need to quit smoking 6 weeks prior to the surgery

  • Do comprehensive research on what you’re getting especially the side effects
