After weightloss my lower but became saggy and wrinkly, how can i fix this? I dont want the big scars on my lower back

Ryan A. Stanton, MD · Answer

Allow me to answer your question as best i can based upon your photo. However, please keep in mind that an in-person, or at least a virtual, consultation with physical exam is first necessary before any legitimate evaluation or final surgical recommendations can be made.

Buttock “sagging” is usually a combination of loss of volume or deflation (after weight loss, liposuction, or post-BBL) and/or the effect of aging and gravity. Unfortunately, neither fat transfer or minimally invasive procedures such as J-plasma, radiofrequency, ultrasound, or lasers work effectively in this area. So,  I personally first treat patients like you by restoring volume to the buttock with a buttock implant. This will create a more desirable smooth and rounded perky buttock profile. If not adding volume with an implant, the buttock will most certainly always appear more flat with just a buttock lift from above.  A lower buttock tuck is usually then performed at six months following implants. Coincidentally, a lower buttock tuck also doubles as a thigh lift. In this sequence, the implants have fully settled into final position so that any remaining loose skin can be most accurately identified and removed with the lower buttock tuck. Please note, because an extremely few number of board certified plastic surgeons specialize in buttock implants, you may have to travel away from your local area to seek consultation with this particular type of surgeon.  Getting it done right the first time around is not only the best chance for success, but also will save you from a lot of headaches and money in the future. Glad to help.
