Am I A Good Candidate For Buttock Implants?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I am interested in getting implants for my very flat butt. I have attached pictures so you see what I mean?

A:Thank you for sending your pictures. You have a buttock shape that poses significant challenges for improvement. You have a very long buttocks with a low infragluteal crease but a flat shape. This cannot be treated by implants alone as implants only affect the top to middle portion of the buttocks and not the lower third. In the long buttocks patient with a very low infragluteal crease a lower buttock lift/tuck is initially needed to shorten it’s vertical length and provide a better demarcation between the buttocks in the posterior thighs. Buttock implants can then be done secondarily and will look better.. I have combined these two procedures in the past but inevitably it results in undesirable infragluteal scarring and I have learned that it is best to stage it in the vertically long and flat buttock patient.
