How to fix crooked gluteal cleft / sacral dimple? (photo)

Question

Hello, So this is embarrassing but here goes...I do not think I was born with this problem, I have a crooked gluteal cleft or buttcrack. It seems that it is caused by what looks like some sort of dimple above the end of my butt which makes it look extra long and also off to the side. Is there any way I can get this fixed? Preferably without any surgery Thanks so much!

Although no guarantees, it may be possible to centralize your gluteal cleft but will definitely first require a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon (preferably one specializing in buttock implants as this region is familiar for making the incision and dissection). Liposuction and/or surgical transposition of the cleft are two option that come to mind of hand. Glad to help...RAS

A physical exam would be necessary to rule out other diagnoses before a fat transfer procedure is pursued.Find
 a  board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of   
Brazilian buttlifts each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's   
website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can   
deliver the results.  Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

A tough problem. The dimple could be nothing, or signify a cyst. It may be associted with chronic constipation.  Unlikely that a non-surgical approach is possible. Also, surgery may not be a good option.  An in-person exam is needed.

The crooked gluteal fold seems to be caused by more fat on one side than the other. In person evaluation is needed. If too much fat it can be repaired by liposuction and fat transfer to the gluteal dimple.Samir Shureih MD. FACSsshureih@msn.com
