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: Central Buttock Liposuction Liposuction of this area can be done with excellent technique, but overall skin laxity and patient expectations must be realistic.

Answer: Buttocks do good with liposuction when done by someone who knows what they are doing. Central buttocks do just fine and especially when done under local with the micro canulas and a little Bodytite for good measure. But you need to see a doc who really knows what they are doing for the best results.

Answer: Buttock Liposuction Pitfalls Fay I appreciate your confusion, however your plastic surgeon is right. Liposuction of the central buttocks is an extremely difficult area to address because of the higher than usual incidence of possible skin irregularities. Liposuction of the periphery of the buttocks, lower posterior thighs and lower back, is fairly common and a nice tool to make the buttocks appear larger. If liposuction of your central buttocks is deemed necessary, it is vitally important to use very small cannulas and address the surgery in the most conservative manner. Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!

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!
