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

Dear Anna, judging from the picture posted on the forum, you seem to have buttock ptosis with a deep infra gluteal fold. In my opinion, adding volume with an autologous fat transfer would be the best option in your case. Augmentation of the fold with fat would help you achieve a smoother transition between the butt & the thighs. It would also act as a support for the butt.I would personally never opt for a procedure involving skin & subcut tissue excision in this region as it would result in scars and poor aesthetics.

Dear Anna  According to your profile photo you happen to have moderate to severe buttock ptosis with a prominent , overextended infra-gluteal fold. Therefore an excision of the infra-gluteal fold or liposuction of the "banana roll" would not give you natural results and may even worsen your buttock/thigh esthetics.  You may benefit at the very least from fat grafting to the deep infra-gluteal fold region to recreate a support system for your buttock and recreate a smooth transition zone from thigh to buttock.  If this does not give you the ultimate result that you wish then the above procedure can be combined with a formal buttock lift with an incision placed above the buttock however hidden below your bikini line. Thank you

I have performed lower buttock lift with the incision in the Gluteal crease in the past. Unfortunately, I have not been happy with the result and I no longer recommend it to my patients.
