Refitting suits custom made for another

Just came into many handsome suits custom made for another. The garment quality is outstanding and wear is minimal to non-existent. I would like to refit the suits and wear them if practical. They do not need to be perfect, but appearance does matter. Noticeably ill fitting clothes are intolerable. The jacket presents no major challenges. The pants are another matter. The prior owner had a big butt. I do not. Adjustments to the waist and length will still leave the backside, crotch and leg width of the pants totally out of whack with my comparatively slender physique. Can a good tailor correct these conditions and, even if so, would the expense be prohibitive?
