Possible to Correct Bad Butt Lift?

Can this butt lift surgery be corrected? I have hideous overextended scars from a butt lift. I had a butt lift surgery to correct my flat falling ass. After 2 surgeries, the scars are horrific. I feel like a disfigured freak. I can never wear a bathing suit and my surgeon sentenced me to a life of covering up. Are there any surgeons that can fix this?

A: Can't tell by this photo. Need more information.

Can't tell by this photo. Need more information. Please also include post operative photos and photos not covering everything up.  It is very difficult to tell by this photo.

Going to the Bathroom After Butt Lift

I had surgery around 7:00 am today, and I still have not gone to the bathroom. Is that normal?

A: Pain medications may cause constipation.

Some of the medications perscribed to you may be causing constipation.  You shoud call your Doctors office and speak to a nurse.  If you had surgery this morning, you should be receiving a all checking on you by the office as well.  You can ask them if this ois normal.  Make sure you are well hydrated.

Will a Body and Buttock Lift Help with the Appearance of Cellulite on Buttocks and Thighs?

I am 47 and have lost around 70 lbs. Due to age and weight I have loose skin on tummy, thighs and arms. I would like to know if having a Total body lift and buttock augmentation will help with the appearance of cellulite on my thighs and buttocks.

A: Cellulite can be challenging

There are normal separations between pockets of fat in the thigh and buttocks that keep the fat from bunching up when you stand. Everyone has some cellulite and this is typically genetic (thanks Mom and Dad). Some surgical procedures can improve Cellulite to a degree, but invariably, there is usually some left afterward.

Based on your description, I agree that a procedure that excises excess skin is a much better idea than a liposuction procedure alone. Good Luck.
