25 year old male. Do I need surgery for my loose skin on my butt? (Photo)

Question

I am 25 year old male and For the last 2 years I have gone on a new health and fitness lifestyle I was not really over weight but would be considered as fat. Now I'm am much fitter and have little fat on my body and I have gained a lot of muscle mass but I now have creases under my butt cheek and I can pinch the skin and it's about an inch of extra skin. I do all the normal exercises such as squats and lunges. I would prefer not to go the surgical road but will if I have to suck as fat injection

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

there are many options for you.  most of my younger patients do hi definition body sculpting and transfer fat to this area.  we often will do sculptra injections along with this. but if you want a permanent fix a buttock implant would help.  You need to build the muscles in this area as well with lifting/squats etc.  Please see a body shaping expert who treats a lot of men.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello amanb08,Thanks for your question.I think your best option is more buttocks exercises with hamstring curls to increase muscle mass in that particular location.  You are young, so the skin should tighten up.There are non-surgical skin tightening treatments that can be used to improve skin tension after treatment than can be used in conjunction with the weight training.  Most use RF (radiofrequency) energy to deep heat the tissue and improve collagen tightening.I hope this was helpful.Dr. Shah
