Can a Gluteal Fold Be Created?

I would prefer a permanent solution but if that's not available, could injections such as Botox be of any help?

Gluteal fold be can be created

Can a gluteal fold be created? Yes, it can be with superficial liposuction. The infragluteal fold needs to be approached carefully, by suctioning just under the skin. This will produce an indentation but not make it too deep -- if the fold is too deep the buttocks collpase downward folding over the fold.

Liposuction with compression may help

Hi Geena, I believe that there is a solution that is permanent for you. I have corrected this problem by doing a little bit of liposuction in the area immediately under the fold and then using strong compression to encourage the skin to adhere to the underlying tissue more strongly, creating a nice fold. Good Luck!
