I'm a paraplegic with an incomplete T-11 injury. I gained and then lost over 200LB and now have a lot of excess skin. The doctor I consulted said he couldn't tighten my thighs or my buttocks because If I ever got a bad skin sore they wouldn't be able to use loose skin for the surgery without cutting away thigh bone, making it impossible for me to ever walk again. Is it possible to combine surgical and non surgical options so that there's enough loose skin and vein structure after the surgery?
The main factors that determine if you are going to be a good candidate for a Brazilian butt lift are the amount of fat available to harvest and your health. Now, paraplegics have certain challenges that need to be addressed before surgery. It is not uncommon for a paraplegic patient to have progressive atrophy of the buttock muscles. This will cause a decrease in muscle mass with time that will decrease the butt projection significantly. When I inject the fat into the butt, I basically inject most of the fat inside the muscle. Previous experience managing paraplegic patients have shown that the muscle bulk decreases and its blood supply is diminished as compared to a normal butt. This means that the results can be compromised by such factors.
Moreover, we have to take into consideration the level of spine injury, the presence of leg contractures, the nutritional status, and spasm secondary to the spine injury, your general health among other. This will determine if you can be a good candidate for surgery. In addition, all of these factors will determine if positioning during and after surgery is possible.
Hi, I'm a young male in my early twenties and I am seriously considering surgery for my posterior. The problem is, I'm not exactly sure of what I need done. I was an overweight teen (about 5'3" 200lbs).
I lost a lot of the weight too quickly and now have loose skin. I'm 6'0" 150lbs now and my only problem is this sagging skin on my backside. It's nothing drastic but it is noticeable. I've read a bit about lower buttock lifts but there isn't a ton of info. on it. Is this the procedure best suited for my needs?
Congratulations on your large weight loss! With such a massive weight loss, the buttocks can look deflated and droop. If there is a great deal of skin laxity, a buttock lift which elevates and tightens the buttocks is the best option. The choice for placement of the incisions is either at the upper portion of the buttocks along the waist line or on the lower portion of the buttocks in the crease. I frequently combine the a buttock lift with fat transfer performed at the same time.
I would recommend a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.
