Visible tailbone... what can be done? Is plastic surgery (fat transfer or implants) a more safe alternative? (photos)

Asked By:ruinsky in Brooklyn, NY

Hi. I've been dealing with an enlarged tailbone (or a visible tailbone) that seems to stick out at the top of the crack between the buttocks. It's most visible when I bend over. I do have difficulties sitting down or exercises (sit ups...etc). What can be done to remove it? Are there any risks if I seek a professional surgeon? Is plastic surgery (fat transfer or implants) a more safe alternative? Thank you.
