Can a buttock lift be done with the scar in the buttocks? (photo)

Question

I would like to have a butt lift done not achieve a big butt because my butt is already very big. I need a butt lift because of sagging. Probably sagging because of too much lipo in that area. I am 42 years old and weigh 132 lbs. I do not want a big scar on the top of my buttocks or on the bottom. Is it possible to have a lift done with the scar in the buttocks?

George Bitar, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question.  It is not possible to lift the buttocks without an incision.  The only option is to transfer fat to the lower pole of the buttock to address the skin laxity.

Ajaya Kashyap, MD · Answer

Thank you for your
question.

There are
two options. The first is to have some fat augmentation of the deflated area
alone. The second would be to have an actual excision of the loose skin. What
will be chosen will depend on your actual physical examination as well as
acceptance of a horizontal scar. You should make an appointment with an
experienced Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who can help you make the decision.

All The
Best!

You have an excess of skin in the vertical and will need a horizontal incision to remove skin.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

David Finkle, MD · Answer

Yes, excess skin can be excised through an incision that can be hidden in the buttock crease.  It will be a permanent scar.  Please see a board certified plastic surgeon for advice.

It is possible that fat grafting would be helpful. It is also possible that you would need an actual incision. Your best bet would be a consultation with a local board certified plastic surgeon.

Yes absolutely, a butt lift, such as a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), involves the use of fat grafting into the buttocks, which both reshapes it and lifts it.  Scars sometimes even improve in there appearance with fat transfer.  I suggest looking into wha tis called a BBL.  The Body lift in this area also includes a butt lift, but leaves a much larger scar.  One of the advantages using Fat transfer is that you can be very specific about where you place the fat to not only enlarge and lift the buttocks, but you have more control in reshaping the buttocks as well.

Drooping buttock after weight loss or after excessive liposuction can be lifted.The design of the incision is multiple. There are many options. Familiarity with the procedure is important to achieve the results you desire

Hello and thank you for your question. A ptosis correction requires an incision in the butt crease which is often completely inconspicuous or show minimal scar. An upper butt lift with high incision will not work.Peter Fisher M.D.
