Lack of definition between my bum and thigh. What would be the best surgical approach BBL or Implants? (Photos)

jessielu15
I hate the lack of definition between my bum and thigh. I have banana roll fat which I have tried to target with exercise and I don’t have a definitive gluteal fold which makes my bum look weak and saggy. I would also like to fill out the hip dips a little but my main concern is the gluteal fold region. Would implants help to create more of a contour? I’ve looked into gluteal fold surgery but cannot find any surgeons. I just want a nice defined crease, i’m not so bothered about size. I have also considered liposuction in the upper thigh just under the buttock but heard this can make it worse? Please share your advice and recommendations. It’s my biggest insecurity. For context I am 25 and active. No matter how much gym I do I cannot seem to tone this area, after 4 years I have given up.
