Woman left with Hideous Bulge after Implant 'flips inside out'

AFRIK UPDATE

                   

Instead giving her a smooth, plump appearance, the implant has popped out and is left protruding in an ugly disc shape at the back of her cheek.

In the 20-second clip, the unidentified woman slowly manipulates it back into place while explaining: 'This is my implant flipping backwards'.

She adds: 'I don't think an implant's supposed to do that. It shouldn't be able to flip.'

Adrian Richards, a consultant plastic surgeon at Aurora Clinics in the UK, believes the clip is authentic.
He said the problem occurs when the implant is not secured firmly enough in a 'pocket' the surgeon creates either between the buttock and the pelvic bone or on top of the gluteus maximus.

'It is a complication which is relatively common following buttock implants. It shouldn't really happen because the pocket should be snug so the implant stays where it is.

'This lady's implant is flat on the bottom and coned on the top, but this one has flipped over.'

He said it wouldn't be painful, but would likely need to be removed or the pocket closed up to stop it shifting around.

Buttock implants are popular in South America, where plump bottoms are regarded as sexually desirable.

In recent years, plastic surgery experts have been warning women not to have operations in unapproved clinics after a string of deaths and dodgy practices.

                        

                      BUTT IMPLANTS: HOW IT'S DONE

To insert the implant, an incision is usually made where the cheek meets the back of the thigh or in the buttock crease where the scars are less noticeable.

The surgeon then creates a pocket large enough to insert the silicone either under the gluteus maximus muscle or on top of it.

Sometimes fat is taken by liposuction from another area of the body to enhance the shape of the buttocks.

The surgeon will then make sure both buttocks are symmetrical before stitching up the wounds. 

But if the pocket is made too big, the implant can slip out.

The procedure is normally performed under general anaesthetic.

An alternative method involves injecting fat into the buttocks.
