Miami Thong Lift Procedure. Is there a surgeon in the Chicagoland area that offers something similar?

Question

I have both a droopy rear end, along with excess fat mainly on the inner butt cheek area. I've searched the internet endlessly and finally came across a plastic surgeon in Miami who performs a procedure called the "Miami Thong Lift". It sounds ideal to me. I do not want implants of any kind. Is there a plastic surgeon in the Chicagoland area that offers something similar to this procedure?

If you are searching for a more reliable long term result, you may want to consider buttock implants to restore volume and reduce the saggy of your buttock. Fat transfer can be effective but is often short lived and unpredictable. For the excess inner butt cheek fat, a lower buttock tuck also provides a more reliable permanent outcome than things like suspension sutures which give way over time or simple pull through the very heavy tissues of the buttock, especially after repeated sitting and flexing of the gluteus muscles during everyday activities. Make sure the results you are looking at are of similar patients to yourself not just models whom are barely in need of a procedure of this sorts. Hope this helps.

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.
Unfortunately, without pictures, it is very difficult to give you a proper answer. When choosing a plastic surgeon, the most important thing to consider is that he or she is board certified. l recommend you to make an appointment to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)

The Miami Thong Lift is different marketing term for a BBL with liposuction of the area above the buttock. See link below for examples.

i'm guessing you are referring to the procedures described by Dr. Constantino Mendieta. Dr. Mendieta is brilliant and has extensive amount of experience. It is unlikely you will find someone with equal qualifications in Chicago but there may be someone.  This is probably not the best place to post looking for the right doctor.  I suggest contacting local board-certified plastic surgeons who show evidence of doing lots of BBL's in your area then asking if they've done skin resection's similar to those with what Dr. Mendieta calls  The thong lift. While I generally recommend patients stay local there are times were traveling makes sense.  Consider contacting Dr. Mendieta directly and asking him for recommendations. Best, Mats Hagstrom M.D.
