I'm so confused. Several board certified plastic surgeons have told me butt lifts should never be done with the incision in the crease because it disrupts the shape of the buttocks, the skin eventually hangs loose from buttock to back-of-thigh with no demarcation between them, and it looks deformed and hideous. Others have told me they do it all the time with great results and that putting the incision in the crease is the best procedure because the scar is virtually hidden there. Who is right?

Answer: Butt lift
No, incision in the crease is not the way to do this operation. I am assuming that by the crease you mean the area between the upper posterior thigh and the buttocks. This is not the way to do this operation. There are better ways, that hide incisions. An implant may be placed, and even better is fat grafting.

Answer: Butt Lift Incisions
To continue to add to the controversy, several plastic surgeons have stated that they don't do the incision in the gluteal crease, but I do, and have had good results with it. With hiking up the back of the thigh tissues (like pulling up a pair of pants), we are able to add tissue (Auto-Augmentation) to the buttock, and recreate a sharp crease that hides in the overhang of the buttock.
There are often many approaches or techniques to solve a given problem, and sometimes well-trained and good surgeons can have different approaches. Ultimately, when you are in a consultation with a doctor, ask him or her to share some sample patient before/afters with you, and you will be the judge.
