Concerned about double curve/gluteal fold. What options do I have? (Photo)

Question

I am 25, workout regularly and eat healthy however I still am not seeing the results I am after. My area of concern is the double curve/double gluteal fold (?) of both right and left, however more so the right side. From the research I’ve done I believe it’s called a double gluteal fold. I’ve had a few sessions of Sculpsure done as I thought it was a banana roll however I went to a different lady and she said she wouldn’t recommend taking fat away from the area. Please help

Dear Luminous1568,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

In my opinion, you have a beautiful butt!   Leave it alone!   There is no good way of fixing this that will not result in either drooping of your butt or scars.   Don't do it!  You have a beautiful butt!  Although, this may appear a little different having two creases, it is in no way unattractive!

Some people have a defined fold at their lower part of the buttocks as it transitions to the back part of the upper thigh.
In some individuals it’s a smooth curve and sum it is a defined single line or double line.
You have the double line variant, which is not un Common or unusual and is normal.
It does not represent excess fat and you should definitely not have fat removed.
Doing so will create a much worse problem, and will not fix the double fold.
It normal. Leave it alone and stop focusing on it. 
Any area in the body that has a significant range of motion is going to have some issues with skin redundancy, depending on what position the joint is in.
The best analogy I can give you is that when we sit down, we usually get a fold on our lower abdomen, and sometimes a second fold on our mid abdomen.
When we flex our abdomen, we redundancy that allows us to stand up straight.
The opposite of this is developing skin redundancy on the back of the thigh, which allows the hips full flexion like when you’re sitting.
That can cause the crease or creases to form.
It may be a little difficult to see, but try, flexing your hips all the way, like bending down and tie your shoestrings and look in the mirror and you’ll probably see that the folds go away.
Do not get Liposuction for this.
Best,
