Would a Butt Augmentation Help Hide Curved, Protruding Sacrum? (photo)

Question

My sacrum is curved more than usual and sticks out somewhat. There is no excess growth and a surgeon already said I should not have it shaved down. I have tried doing exercises to lift and shape my butt to hide it, but I can't seem to lift it at all. Would implants, a buttlift, or grafting help?

J. Jason Wendel, MD, FACS · Answer

One option to camouflage this would be to have fat grafting around the perimeter of your sacrum. I agree that boney reduction would be painful and problematic.

	I hope this helps.

Aaron Stone, MD · Answer

I suspect you could rasp the bone down a bit the way we rasp or file down a bone hump on the bridge of the nose if most of the protrusion is bone. However this area is much more adherent to the bone with much larger blood vessels than the corresponding area on the bridge of the nose. If it is fat you could liposuction it to remove it. If it is bone do not expect complete removal or correction with rasping. Augmenting the buttocks will not do much because most of the protrusion is above the level where we inject fat for buttock augmentation.

	My response to your question/post does not represent formal medical advice or constitute a doctor patient relationship. You need to consult with i.e. personally see a board certified plastic surgeon in order to receive a formal evaluation and develop a doctor patient relationship.

Hi there-

	I would need to examine you to be able to make recommendations for management of this problem.

	Your best solution will probably involve a combination of reduction of this area, with augmentation of the buttocks.

	Visit a good surgeon whose work you admire and who is Certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery for a consultation.

I think a combination of liposuction over the sacral area and fat grafting to the buttocks could improve the appearance.

Jed H. Horowitz, MD, FACS · Answer

i would rather consider reducing the fullness.    is this fat. or bone..  both can be reduced with surgery
