Will Buttock Implants Help My Lower Buttock Sagging Skin?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I am looking for a possible spiral thigh lift and butt implant. Address excess lower butt sag.

A: Thank you for sending your pictures. When it comes to buttock and thigh implants, based on your pictures, I believe what you’re trying to achieve cannot be done by these implant considerations. In the back view what you are showing his lower buttock ptosis and loose skin in the upper thigh. This will not be improved with buttock implants. Buddy came plants treat and augment the upper half to two thirds of the buttocks and will not change the loose skin in its lower third. The only way to treat loose tissue in the lower third of the buttocks iand n the upper thigh is with a lower buttock lift. One may get buttock implants with a lower buttock lift but that would only be because they wanted overall buttock augmentation as well.

In the thigh area you have loose skin in the medial thigh s as well as in and around the knees. Thigh implants will likely not change that significantly except maybe in the upper knee area…. but even in this area it will not completely make the loose skin go away. One gets thigh implants because their main goal it Is to improve the appearance of a small upper leg not to get rid of loose skin.

In addition I do not recommend any form of thigh lift in your case. The scars from the thigh lift would be worse then the skin problem you now have.
