Hello, I had a consultation with a doctor and he stated that if I want to remove majority of the fat from the middle portion of my butt there would be a high risk of irregularities because the skin is 1inch only. Is this true? I had lipo on my hips and bottom of my butt and there were no irregularities.

Answer: Liposuction candidate Dear fay1132, buttocks can be a tricky area for liposuction. While there is always a chance for contour irregularities with liposuction, someone who takes their time and uses the appropriate sized cannulas should give you a superb result.I have all my patients wear compression garments and I use multiple sized cannulas to feather out the result. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Liposuction Surgery Hello, and thank you for your question. (Keep in mind that an in-person consultation is necessary for the best advice.) Liposuction of the central buttocks may be performed if you are willing to accept the risk of contour irregularities. (No surgeon can guarantee that they can avoid complications.) If you decide to pursue surgery it’s very important that you find a surgeon whom you are comfortable with and trust and who evaluates you in-person and tailors an individualized treatment plan for you and your aesthetic goals. Best of luck! Matthew A. DelMauro, M.D.
