Buttock Liposuction Works With Good Skin Tone

Liposuction of the buttock can be performed in the right patient.  Just as in other areas it is all about "skin tone". If your skin has enough elasticity, then it will redrape appropriately and you will have a good result. In the gluteal (buttock) region, if the skin is too loose and liposuction is performed, the buttock will sag. This will accentuate the gluteal fold and this can be similar to a "Snoopy Nose" deformity.  I buttock lift is the only way to... more

Areas to avoid in buttock liposuction

What is typically considered the triangle to avoid is a triangle made from the central point between your buttocks cheeks with lines drawn downward to the ischial tuberosity, the bone you sit on. Within that area there are nerves that can be damaged and also blood vessels that can cause bleeding. The liposuction should be limited to the upper lateral shoulders of the buttocks. Performing a complete surface liposuction of the buttock can lead to saggy skin of the buttock as the supporting... more

Liposuction of the Buttocks

In my opinion, there are two areas on the body that respond poorly to liposuction: one is the face (although lipo may be successful on the neck), the other area is the true buttock, although lipo is excellent in most cases above the buttocks around the waistline and below buttocks on the medial and lateral thigh. In view of this, I don't recommend liposuction of the buttocks or face.

Selective liposuction of the buttocks works well

Selective liposuction and lipocontouring is highly dependent on the skin elasticity especially in the buttock.  This is the single most crucial aspect of the success or failure of getting the desired result.  The gluteal crease is the area that most often results in poor outcome and I do not recommend liposuction of this area.  As a matter of fact, more often, I think fat grafting of this area is more desirable to get the "tighter" look that most women are looking... more

Liposuction of buttocks in Atlanta

Liposuction may be performed in the buttock for certain patients. However, there are areas to be avoided. A majority of my Atlanta patients who request buttock liposuction only need to have buttock sculpting or shaping with liposuction. Some require both shaping and fat injection for fuller and lifted buttock otherwise known as Brazilian butt lift. If you decide to consult a cosmetic surgeon, please make sure to see Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. more

Liposuction, surgery, arm liposuction #beauty, #Zeltiq, @coolsculpting

Dear Meganmarie Thank you for your question. Liposuction of any portion of the body must be done with care.  Proper markings with you standing, notation of asymmetries and contour irregularities are very important.  The Buttocks, lateral and posterior things are all affected by gravity and the fat in this area does provide support and shape to the buttocks- so if too much is removed it can make the buttocks fall down- deepening the fold and accentuating what you do not... more

Liposuction of the Buttocks - Butt Reduction

Hi meganmarie123 in atlanta, Sure - you can do it anywhere, but the question is whether or not it's a good idea in YOUR case. In order to determine that you would, of course, need to have a consultation with a plastic surgeon. That being said, lipo of the buttocks region can be extremely gratifying for all involved (see the review on my page entitled "Butt Reduction") It depends on what you look like now and what your skin, fibrous tissue and distribution of... more

Liposuction of the buttocks

Buttock liposuction has to be done very conservatively if at all because it may lead to a "granny bottom" looking loose and saggy after the procedure.

Buttocks Liposuction

If you post pictures it would make answering your question more informative and allow us to give you specific advice.  Care must be taken with liposuction of the lower part of the buttocks to avoid loosing definition of the crease or drooping of the skin.     Good Luck.

Liposuction of the Buttock

It is very common for women to get the "banana roll" lipo-suctioned. This is the area directly below the buttock. Having this area lipo-suctioned is a great way to add definition and beauty to the backside.
