Buttocks Wedge Excision- Should the Extra Skin Be Removed or Fold in ?

vasiliki1
I had smartlipo on the gluteal crease (wish i never had) now i have an empty skin pocket for which my doctor adviced me to have a wedge excision under the buttocks without cutting the skin away but folding it in to create a new crease. Please help me i don't really trust this solution but i cannot live with that extra skin it looks horrible
