Is Correction of an Asymmetrical Gluteal Crease Possible?

One of my gluteal creases is a good two inches lower than the other, looking much bigger and longer. There is actually a slight "beginning" of a crease above this one, in line with my other buttock crease where the crease should be.

This is a very frustrating problem I have with my body that makes me feel self conscious in a bikini and in leggings. I am assuming this problem is uncommon as I cannot find any information about it or any procedures that can be done? This embarrassing asymmetry is making me very unhappy. Please help!

You may improve on your situation by a combination of liposuction and fat transfer. This problem is seen after excessive liposuction of the posterio thigh or banana deformity. And probably can be addressed as such. Posting pictures will help give you better advise

Double gluteal crease.

This is a complex problem and can likely be improved but not completely corrected. Repair would involve use of liposuction and/or the use of dermolipectomy to excise the redundant skin.
