How Can I Fix My One-Sided Buttock Ptosis?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I got in a car accident and my leg got caught under the seat cutting my bottom as it was healing the my buttock fold unfolded making it uneven.

A:That is a most unusual mechanism to develop buttock ptosis but the entire inframammary fold and lower buttock tissues have lowered. This can be corrected by a lower buttock excision/lift. There will be the tradeoff of a scar line along the re-established fold line to achieve improved buttock symmetry.
