Hi, thank you for sharing your question. A thorough evaluation must be done first to determine a diagnosis as this can be as simple as extra fat or it could be something else which cannot be treated with liposuction. Discuss your plan and options with your plastic surgeon.

Thanks for the question.

In this regard, I recommend you waist and back Liposculpture, getting better curves especially in the waist, improving your body contour.

Finally, I suggested take the fat we get and transfer to the buttocks and hips, to mold them and get better volume, contour and butt projection, is that we know as "Brazilian Butt Lift" (BBL).

Kind regards

Dear treetop90,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. Based on your photos, it looks like you would benefit from liposuction. 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.

Thanks for your question! It could be a lipoma or a cyst. Regardless, you should get a CT scan to rule out anything suspicious prior to proceeding with liposuction. Good luck!

Yes, liposuction can remove the excess fat in that area. This can easily be done as an awake procedure in the office.

Lower back and sacral fat tissue is the area that liposuction works the best. I would also suggest a reshaping gluteal area with fat transfer.

Either multiple sessions of KyBella injections or one local anesthesia operation for superficial liposuction with small cannulae. Fees in $3,000 ranges.

Manuel Diaz, MD · Answer

Hi dear , you have to medically evaluated , we have to deduce and investigate with the corresponding medical analyzes if that can be solved with lipo but don't worry, according to your photos it can be solved with Lipo. Just that you need to be evaluated.

Some people have subcutaneous fat over their sacrum or lower back and others don’t.

If this has been growing then it may be a benign fat tumor called a lipoma.

If it’s a lipoma it’s better treated by doing direct surgical excision.

If it’s simply subcutaneous fat then Liposuction is the best treatment.

I suggest having a few in person consultations with local board-certified plastic surgeons.

Understanding the history or the rate of change could impact how it’s treated.

Best,

Mats Hagstrom MD

Hi and welcome to our forum!From your photos, a well circumscribed soft tissue mass is present in the lower post-sacral areaThis painless mass apparently has been present for some time but is demonstrating recent growth.As the "mass" of the lower back is well circumscribed and chronic in nature, it appears to be a fat repository and is most likely benign. However, as recent growth is reported, a biopsy of the tissue is required, but the index of suspicion is low. Liposuction will remove the fatty tissue with minimal scarring. The specimen should be submitted to pathology for microscopic evaluation.Best wishes...
