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: 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.

Answer: Left buttock ptosis Dear jenzumba, I understand your concern. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.
