Lower Buttock Lift - Is It Worth It? (photo)

      You need a creative approach to avoid lengthy scars.  Liposuction of the appropriate areas with fat transfer to the buttocks to take up loose skin will give the best improvement.  I perform about 500 Brazilian buttlifts each year, and this procedure is the most surgeon dependent plastic surgery procedure.  Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of Brazilian buttlifts each year.  Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.

Dear Anna, Thanks for submitting your picture. From observing your picture, you have a banana roll that will respond nicely to liposuction, and saggy butt fold due to loss of muscle mass resulting in excess skin. The best solution for you condition is not cutting the fold which will result in a long unsightly scar, or liposuction that runs the risk of aggravating the saggy fold , but rather  butt implants. The implants will fill up the envelope , tighten the skin and lift up the fold. It is important to use  oval round implants and place them high, so that the sagginess of the fold will not get worse over time. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who has lots of experience with butt implants. Check the before ans after pictures to make sure that you like the results. Best of luck, Dr Widder
