What “Chicken Butt” Actually Is
“Chicken butt” happens when the inner glute area loses support during healing
Instead of the fat settling:
• evenly
• smoothly
• with projection
It can:
• shift downward
• separate
• heal in an uneven position
This creates:
• that hollow inner look
• lack of central fullness
• less defined shape
And once it heals that way?
It’s VERY hard to reverse.
Why This Happens (The Real Cause)
This is not random.
It is almost always caused by garment structure
✔️ Oversized Flap-Less Crotch Openings
This is the biggest culprit.
Some fajas advertise:
“easy bathroom access”
But what they actually do:
• remove support from the inner glutes
• leave the area exposed
• allow tissue to shift downward
If fat was placed:
• in the inner butt
• near the gluteal fold
It can literally:
fall through that opening during healing
And settle there.
That’s how “chicken butt” forms.
✔️ Lack of Inner Glute Support
A proper faja should:
• support your shape
• hold everything in place
• guide how your body heals
If the inner glutes are unsupported:
• there is no structure
• no guidance
• no control over settling
✔️ Misunderstanding “No Compression”
A lot of people hear:
“no compression on the butt”
And think that means:
no support at all
That is NOT correct.
The goal is:
✔️ zero downward pressure
✔️ WITH controlled support
You are protecting blood flow
while still guiding shape
Who Is Most At Risk
You are especially at risk if:
• you had fat placed in the inner glutes
• you had volume added near the fold
• your faja has a large open crotch
• your garment does not support your shape
