So I had a lower body lift in January and was told my incision line would not be seen as it wold be placed below the panty line. This is true for the front portion but for my backside the scar and more importantly my butt crack is showing in all clothing. Even wearing mid rise pants you can still see my crack. I feel disfigures, embarrassed and worse about myself then before the surgery. Can this be fixed? It’s 4 inches higher than it previously was? Will the surgeon fix his mistake?

Answer: Lengthen the buttocks cleft It is very common to observe the lengthen of the buttocks cleft amongst LBL patients. Unfortunately It is very difficult to shorten it again. Some surgeons use the high incisions to improve the waist line but the result will be lengthening the cleft. You may tatoo it. Dr. Cárdenas

Answer: Butt crack too high after LBL (intergluteal crease) (Photo) Hi. Sorry for this problem. This is a main concern for this kind of surgery, because incision is always prone to get a little bit higher. Certain techniques when painting the patient before surgery allow us to place the incision trying to avoid this issue. More pictures and time, a year after surgery, are required to give you an option to try to correct or diminish this problem.International Member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS)
