Loose skin requires removal

Carl W. "Rick" Lentz III, MD answers: Options for correcting scars and droopy buttocks from Liposuction

I thought Liposuction would get rid of cellulite, but ended up with scars and a droopy bottom from the procedure years ago. What treatments can help me get rid of the scars and correct the droopy bottom? Is Brazilian Butt Lift an option?

Liposuction is a great tool to remove bulges but is totally ineffective at tightening skin. If your lateral thighs and buttock were loose before liposuction they will only be looser after liposuction.

A really great way to lift and shape the buttock is with a surgical buttock and lateral thigh lift. If there is deficiency of soft tissue in the buttock this can be augmented with fat grafting or local fat flap.

Check with a board certified Plastic Surgeon who has done a good number of these and look at some pictures before you make up your mind.
