White female 5’4, 130lbs. I am an active person but no matter what I can’t get rid of the fat under my butt that basically makes it look flat from the side. I’ve been told that lipo would basically remove that “shelf” my butt sits on and it will sag even more. So I am wondering if it can be lifted? I’ve seen things such as infragluteal thigh lift/ thong lift possibly working for this type of issue but mine seems severe. If it helps it’s also genetic, my mom has the same issue
Answer: Buttock lift… Buttock “sagging” is usually a combination of loss of volume or deflation (after weight loss or post-BBL) and/or the effect of aging and gravity, or familial genetics. So, I personally first treat patients like you by restoring volume to the buttock with a buttock implant. This will create a more desirable smooth and rounded perky buttock profile. If not adding volume with an implant, the buttock will be shortened but may appear more flat with just a buttock lift. A lower buttock tuck is usually then performed at six months following implants. In this sequence, the implants have fully settled into final position so that any remaining loose skin can be most accurately identified and removed with the lower buttock tuck. Please note, because an extremely few number of board certified plastic surgeons specialize in buttock implants, you may have to travel away from your local area to seek consultation with this particular type of surgeon. Glad to help.

Answer: Buttocks buttock asymmetry buttock imbalance buttock surgery buttock revision gluteal augmentation BBL Brazilian butt lift aug Thank you for your question regarding what to do to lift the buttock off the back of your thighs. Several things could be done. First, the buttock could be lifted. This can either be done by fat transfer like a BBL. Another way to lift the buttock would be to make an incision over the upper portion and lift the buttock upward. This will lift the buttock off the back of the thigh. Another approach would be to reduce the size of the posterior thigh. This could be achieved with posterior upper thigh liposuction or an inferior gluteal incision. The banana roll liposuction would not flatten this area so much that the buttock would sag. In my opinion, that does not happen. Another approach would be to make an incision underneath the buttock, excise a crescent-shaped area of the upper posterior thigh skin, and lift the back of the thigh upward. This will remove excess skin in this region. In my opinion, I would proceed with liposuction, which is the easiest of these procedures. The others require incisions with an extended recovery. Thank you for your question regarding what to do to lift the buttock off the back of your thighs. Sincerely, Dr. Katzen.

Answer: Consider fat transfer You have done your research, and I agree. Generally, I do not recommend liposuction underneath the buttocks, in which case they will sag further. Based on your photos, I think a conservative Brazilian butt lift would be the best. We would move fat from somewhere else on your body to your buttocks. It would create a more rounded buttocks, and the added volume will give them a lift.
