Hi! F 23, my main concern is the overall shape of my buttocks. If I get liposuction i’d want to do more than just fix that, but i’m especially looking for somebody who specializes in what i’m looking to change. -what kind of procedure would I need? -are you a doctor who has fixed this? If so, do you have before and afters? Pictures attached are 1. What I currently look like 2. Recreation of what would need to be corrected 3. What I think is a realistic expectation 4. My ideal body
Answer: Buttock augmentation Alright, so I love the visualization. I actually I Encourage my patients to do this so I know what they want to achieve. You are absolutely correct with pic # 3 being the outcome. You could have thigh liposuction to get you half way between picture 3 & 4. If you lost weight or got liposuction the point to achieve # 4, you’d more than likely end up needing the extra skin removed at the fold where your buttocks meets the thigh and possibly skin off your abdomen, not recommended as #3. If you would like to be seen for a consultation here at Smith Plastic Surgery, feel free to reach out. 702-838-2455

Answer: Lipo, Fat Grafting, Skin Tightening! Thank you for your question and your attached before photos and simulation photos! From the simulation photos of your goals you provided, you would need to address your back, buttocks, hips, and inner thighs to get this result. Although it is difficult to say with complete certainty since I have not examined you myself to asses for any skin laxity, I would recommend liposuction of the upper and lower back/waistline, inner thighs, and lower buttocks along with fat transfer to your hips to give you that rounded hip contour. I would also recommend RF skin tightening to the lower buttocks in order to address any skin laxity and help shape the lower buttocks. Make sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon and good luck!

Answer: Rounding out a square infra-gluteal fold Provided you have enough buttock projection, then liposuction to sculpt the upper buttock love-handle waistline area and liposuction to the lower outer buttock would be your best place to start. If projection is needed or beneficial then you may want to consider buttock implants as the most reliable and permanent option. Glad to be of help.

Answer: Weight reduction with liposuction, possibly fat grafting It does not look reasonable to expect your ideal shape with your current weight; this may not be pleasant to hear, but that is your reality! No liposuction can achieve such a perfect result as 15-20 lbs. weight loss! Once satisfactory weight is achieved, a combination of liposuction and, possibly, fat grafting, will help to come close to your goal. In person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon with expertise in liposuction and body contouring, is recommended.

Answer: Buttocks/gluteal fold reshaping Dear Tia12345, 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.
