Deep Scars
What are sagging or flat buttocks?
As we age, we get changes in our skin and muscle that can lead to a flatter or saggier appearance of the buttocks. This occurs as the skin loses its natural firmness, muscles weaken, and fat redistributes to other places. Some people notice these changes gradually over time, while others spot a huge difference after weight loss or hormonal changes.
Both men and women can experience sagging or flat buttocks, but it’s more typical in women as they get older or if they don’t stay active. The shape of the buttocks is also influenced by genetics, posture, and lifestyle choices. And while this can alter the fit of clothing and impact confidence, there are remedies and exercises that can restore a fuller, more elevated appearance.
We all have different butt shapes, mainly determined by genetics, muscle tone and fat distribution. Below are the most common types:
- Round butt: Plump and well proportioned, sometimes referred to as “bubble butt.” It has a lifted look due to balanced fat and muscle.
- Heart-shaped butt: Fuller at the bottom and narrower at the top, forming a curvy, upside-down heart shape.
- Square butt: The waist and hips are evened-out, making the butt look straighter and less rounded.
- V-shaped butt: It’s as if the upper butt is wider, but the lower part has less volume, which can happen with aging or fat loss.
- Hip dip butt: It is a slight inward curve between the hips and thighs due to the bone structure and muscle tone of an individual.
