Stubborn fat in the tailbone / sacral area developed during pregnancy. Can liposuction help target this area?

Question

Hello, During pregnancy I developed a very stubborn fat pad (with stretch marks) over my tailbone area. It hasn't changed with weight fluctuations (gain or loss). Is this area a candidate for liposuction? What considerations should be taken?

There is no doubt, based on these photos, that liposuction would be the way to improve those areas of concern. Consider liposuction of abdomen, flanks, lower back and, definitely, some weight loss. Good luck.

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. You are a great candidate for liposuction. This will target and treat the tailbone area well and contour it effectively.

Dear Junipercypress,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

This area is very amenable for liposuction.  It should sculpt both the lower back and buttock shape.
Best wishes.

Great posted photos. Yes liposuction under local anesthesia with IV sedation could be done. I think about 500 cc's of fat could be removed. Fee $3,000. Best to virtual consult with....
