My left buttock has significantly dropped from an old lipo procedure to the back of thighs. It did not include the banana roll or the underbutt. I'm guessing it happened through the entry way which was located in the crease of my butt. I read that it can't be fixed.
Answer: Left Buttocks Ptosis - Can It Be Fixed? The short answer to your question is, YES it can be fixed.There is a technique that was described over twenty years ago by Dr. Ted Lockwood of Kansas City whereby the deep tissue, both below and above the infra gluteal crease is anchored upward to the periosteum (covering of the bone). This is done with three permanent sutures, and it does such a good job that you probably would want both sides done. This is a surgery that I have performed. This is a relatively uncomplicated procedure. A one-sided repair takes less than an hour, and is usually done in the operating room under general anesthesia.

Answer: Liposuction and Fat Transfer Thank you for your question. Liposuction will remove excess fat from unwanted areas creating a shape that accentuates your hips & buttocks. Fat transfer to your hips & buttocks will bring out your curves, increase volume in your buttocks and improve shape. Your expectations and health will dictate the best procedure(s) for you. I suggest a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to go over the options that best address your goals. Best of luck!

Answer: Surgery for left buttock ptosis A photograph or two of the area would be extremely helpful in determining what the problem may be and thus the solution, if any. Indeed once this area is damaged, typically by liposuction, it is tricky to fully repair and re-create the normal infragluteal fold again. That being said there are certain things that can be done to improve it, sometimes that does involve more liposuction but more often involves something called a lower buttock tuck. Occasionally, it is best just alone to avoid making things worse. Your next best step is to set up a virtual consultation or an in person physical exam. Glad to help.
