"saggy butt" after lipo
buttock augmentation, Facelift, Exilis

My butt dropped after lipo. What can really be done to restore it's natural shape and position?I am 100 lbs.
I had a minor concern near my lower butt towards my outer thigh. Apparently the lipo was too aggressive and destroyed my connective tissue/support.The Lipo was a big mistake, leaving me with a droopy butt check, dent and crease. The little issue I thought I was addressing with tghe lipo is much more excentuated along with the forementioned additional problems. What do you think about the possibility of "lower butt lift" or am I only asking for more problems?
From viewing my butt from the side, the cheek is elongated, lower than the other side,no longer has the natural slope into my thingh. I have weight trained my whole life and spend an hour a day 6 days a week on the stairmaster. There is NO exercise that will correct this disaster. Any thoughts?
My butt is now flat and out of shape. It has been getting increasingly worse. The lipo was A year and a half ago.

It is Unfortunate that this happened but if you have fat in any other areas you can do fat grafting.

I hate to disappoint you, but I bet the buttocks on the right side have always been longer than on the left. I am quite certain the preop photos will show just that. You do have some (more)

My thoughts are to be seen in person by many PSs. Since there were no posted photos, very hard to advise over the internet. Follow up would be nice. (more)

Liposuction of the buttocks is usually a bad idea. I will almost never do it for the reasons you express. I would recommend you see a Board Certified plastic surgeon that is experienced (more)

Sorry to hear about your poor results.
As far as a "Lower Butt Lift", I'm assuming you are referring to a Buttocks Wedge Excision. This is done to tighten the skin along the crease (more)

It is very unfortunate, but way too many doctors perform the Bananna roll lipo that results in an outcome like yours. Posting photos would be helpfully, but fat transfer is the only option (more)

Hello / i have exactly the same problem.. In fact, your post came up when I was googling "saggy butt after liposuction" .. I am so sad that I had the lipo in the first place.
Have you had any luck lifting the saggy butt?
I always refrained from stairmaster (because it makes my thighs huge) but I was thinking of hitting to that everyday for lifting my butt..

I realize that no body is completely symmetrical. I do; however, know my body. My right cheek may have had some asymmetry but it did not look like this before the surgery. In fact, I used to always do my own form of measuring my cheeks. Each cheek could fit into the palm of my hand.
I never felt my butt on the back of my thigh either. I had 2 round cheeks, no dents, no bulges, no points and certainly no rolls under the cheeks.
You mentioned that something can be done. What do you suggest?
Again, I thank you for your time.

I would like to start by thanking you and all of the doctors that responded to my post. It is comforting to know that professionals take time from all of your busy schedules to be part of this site. In addition, I would like to apologize for all of my type-O's within my initial posting.
I have been extremely upset and frustrated with the results. I did not know that a minor "tweaking" would have such a grave effect.
I actually requested the lipo to give me something to look forward to since I had to undergo a surgery to remove my crushed breast implants after being rear-ended in an auto accident.
Perhaps I was not properly informed of the dangers/risks of lipo in the "Bermuda Triangle" area of the body. I typically do extensive research before a procedure, but because the area I wanted to address with the lipo was so small, I did not feel there was reason for concern.
I have requested my "before" pix from the surgeon yet, have not received them thus far.
Regarding my after pix, I feel that they may not appear as extreme in the pix as the situation is in person. I will; however post them regardless.
Because my butt has dropped, it puts pressure on the thighs, now making them dimpled appearing as cellulite. I also have bulges of "meat" that I can grab by the handful directly under my butt. This is in addition to the crease that overly pronouncing the rear upper thigh. The right cheek is significantly lower than the left. The right cheek also has a dent along with a point at the bottom of the loose skin where the thigh meets the cheek.
I have seen a few PS's. Fat transfer has been discussed, but harvesting fat from me is difficult as it doesn't seem as though I have much.
The removal of the excess skin of the lower cheek and upper thigh has also been discussed.
My concerns are:
If fat transfer could be done it will increase volume to my buttocks and region. This will not take the pressure off the thighs that are no longer supported by healthy connective tissue. The buttocks will continue to push down on my thighs leaving the skin aesthetically unflattering. I have been told from a PS that my support system is gone from the aggressive lipo. Is there anything that can be done to generate healthy connective tissue? Or is it, once it's destroyed, damaged, removed it is gone for good?
My right cheek is elongated and mis-shapened because the bottom literally dropped out. From the side, my right cheek rests on the bulge on my upper thigh. Is is ever possible to re-create the natural slope and curve from butt to thigh?
What is your opinion on treating the problem with non-invasive measures such as: Vasershape, Exilis, Radio Frequency? I have tried the first two. Vaserhape had a little effect, Exilis did absolutely nothing, RF was considered, as it supposedly lifts and tightens, whereas, Ultrasound only tightens. Any thoughts?
My biggest fear is creating a worse situation by selecting a procedure that may come along with its own new set of problems. I do not know enough about the suggested options to make an educated decision or know enough to even ask the proper most relevant questions. All I know is that I am miserable. I feel as though I am dragging my butt on the back of my leg. I can no longer wear pants that slightly hug my bottom because the cheek are lopsided, the leg of the pants outline the bulges in the upper thighs, and the lower part of the pant leg twists when I walk because the lower cheek pulls on it.
When I have discussed my concerns with the PS who performed the surgery his solution was that, "I stop looking at it" and that I am getting older.
With sincere gratitude.
Rhia
