How Can I Fix My Painful Retracted Infragluteal Fold After Liposuction?

Q: Dr. Eppley, I had a lipo for the banana rolls 5 years ago and the suction was probably too strong. Since then I have had a deep crease, especially on the right side.

This causes me pain and discomfort. Do you think I would be a good candidate for a lower buttock lift?

Would this pulling, sagging discomfort improve and how severe would a scar be?

A: A lower buttock lift after liposuction is usually done because it has either caused a lower of the infragluteal fold or has created a banana roll deformity….neither of which you have. An overly deep infragluteal fold with discomfort is a scar contracture issue for which release and interpositional fat grafting is needed.
