How can dents/flatness in my butt be fixed? Will exercise work? (photos)

Question

I've had these noticeable dents in both my butts for years. I think it might be from tension from stress and sitting a lot. But I'm seriously noticing it in my photos and in clothes I wear. What's the best solution?

What basically you need is liposculpturing or your back and your flanks as well as yourbra-rolls. This fat needs to be removed and the way we remove this is by using Vaser or BodyTite technology, so that the skin does not sag. At the same time I would like to contour your buttocks in a manner that your access fatat certain upper buttock areas can be removed and some part can be added to your mid-level, so that you have a nicely shaped buttocks. So consult a board-certified plastic surgeon near you who is experienced in body contouring surgeries.

You would have a couple options. If you want an overall smaller butt, I'd recommend liposuction. If you want a bigger, rounder butt, your best bet would be BBL (fat transfer to the buttocks). As always, please be sure to research who performs your procedure so you can increase the changes of having the best outcome.

Ryan A. Stanton, MD · Answer

There are currently only two acceptable surgical options for augmenting and enhancing the buttock/hip area: 1) Brazilian Butt Lift (aka BBL) - utilizing the patients own fat from liposuction then transferring it into the buttock and/or hips and 2) Buttock and cosmetic Hip Implants (soft silicone rubber implants that cannot rupture &/or leak). Both are options but what it comes down to, like any surgery, is proper patient selection and long-term results. Implants provide the only guarantee of sustained permanent results. Because they are much more reliable at adding projection to the mid and lower buttock, they tend to be ideal for plumping/perking up deflated and/or flat buttocks.  On the other hand, most of the fat transferred from BBL typically melts away leaving disappointing results after 12 months. Please keep in mind that an extremely few number of Board certified plastic surgeon specialize in buttock implants so you may have to travel far and away from home to find a reputable and experienced surgeon. Glad to be of help.

Dear Yodalover,
generally speaking, you want to reach your goal weight before you consider a surgery, otherwise your results will be suboptimal if you continue to lose weight after the surgery. 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

A Brazilian buttlift with specific emphasis on dent correction should be considered. These corrections can be next to impossible to fix or improve and patients should have realistic expectations. Sometimes the situation requires a multitude of techniques to produce the smooth outcome a patient is seeking. It depends upon how much scar tissue is in the area and if the skin is lax enough to receive a fat transfer.
