Will butt augmentation help with the extra skin beneath my buttocks? (Photo)

Question

Hello! I hope you’re doing well. I’m wondering if butt augmentation might help with the extra skin I have beneath my buttocks. Would that be effective in reducing these “banana rolls”? Alternatively, could injecting filler into the folds under my butt be a viable option to smooth out sagging skin and address those concerns? Thank you so much for any insight you can offer!

Dear CuteButterfly, thank you for sharing your concerns and picture, after evaluate your case this banana rolls solve by adding volume to your buttocks, in my opinion I do not recommend fillers for this area as fillers just last for a few month and then you will have the same issue. Make sure you go on consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Hope this helps and best of lucks. Dr. Luis Mejia.

Adding volume to the buttocks, may help reduce the banana rolls wrinkles.  This can be done with fat grafting to the buttock, gluteal implant or a series of filler injections to the butt.  Direct excision of the skin in the gluteal crease can also be performed for contouring and removing the wrinkles.

Allow me to answer your question as best i can based upon your photos. However, please keep in mind that an in-person, or at least a virtual, consultation with physical exam is first necessary before any legitimate evaluation or final surgical recommendations can be made.

Buttock “sagging” and/or loose skin is usually a combination of loss of volume or deflation (after weight loss, liposuction, or post-BBL) and/or the effect of aging and gravity. So,  I personally first treat patients like you by restoring volume to the buttock with a buttock implant. This will create a more desirable smooth and rounded perky buttock profile. If not adding volume with an implant, the buttock will most certainly always appear more flat with just a buttock lift from above. A lower buttock tuck is usually then performed at six months following implants. Coincidentally, a lower buttock tuck also doubles as a thigh lift, removing loose wrinkled skin from this area as well. In this sequence, the implants have fully settled into final position so that any remaining loose skin can be most accurately identified and removed with the lower buttock tuck. Any “non-surgical” treatment or device as well as exercise, unfortunately, will have little to no effect on this problem area. Furthermore, fat transfer and “fillers” perform very poorly in this area and usually result in just a waste of hard earned money.

Please note, because an extremely few number of board certified plastic surgeons specialize in buttock implants, you may have to travel away from your local area to seek consultation with this particular type of surgeon.  Getting it done right the first time around is not only the best chance for success, but also will save you from a lot of headaches and money in the future. Glad to help.
