Buttock Lift

What is a Buttock Lift?

A buttock lift, also known as a gluteal lift, is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the shape, firmness, and contour of the buttocks by removing excess skin and tightening the underlying tissues. This procedure is ideal for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, aging-related sagging, or skin laxity, resulting in a drooping or flattened appearance of the buttocks.

Unlike a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), which enhances volume by transferring fat, a buttock lift focuses on reshaping and tightening for a smoother, more youthful contour. It can also be combined with liposuction or fat grafting to further enhance the results.

How is the Procedure Performed?

The buttock lift is a multi-step surgical procedure designed to provide long-lasting improvement in shape and firmness:

1. Consultation & Pre-Surgical Planning

   • A thorough assessment of body proportions and aesthetic goals.
   • Discussion of surgical techniques, incision placement, and post-procedure expectations.

2. Surgical Procedure

   • Anesthesia: The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia.
   • Incision Placement: A strategic incision is made across the lower back or just above the buttocks to minimize visible scarring.
   • Excess Skin Removal & Tightening: Loose, sagging skin is trimmed and repositioned to create a firmer, more lifted appearance.
   • Tissue Repositioning & Suturing: The underlying tissues are reshaped and secured, ensuring long-term support.
   • Closure & Dressing: The incisions are closed with sutures, and a compression garment is applied to support healing.

Who is a Good Candidate?

A buttock lift is ideal for individuals who:

• Have significant skin laxity or sagging in the buttock area.
• Have lost a large amount of weight and want to remove excess skin.
• Desire a firmer, more lifted appearance rather than increased volume.
• Are in good general health and maintain a stable weight.
• Have realistic expectations about the results.

Recovery & Results

• Swelling & Bruising:
  • Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are common in the first 2-3 weeks.
  • Compression garments help reduce swelling and improve contouring.
• Return to Work:
  • Most patients return to light activities within 2-3 weeks, with full activity resumption in 6-8 weeks.
• Final Results:
  • Visible improvements appear within 4-6 weeks, with full results noticeable after 3-6 months.
• Longevity:
  • Results are long-lasting, especially with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.

Risks & Considerations

As with any surgical procedure, a buttock lift carries some potential risks:

• Temporary discomfort, swelling, or bruising.
• Scarring, which is minimized through expert incision placement.
• Infection or delayed healing, which can be reduced with proper aftercare.
• Temporary numbness or changes in skin sensation, which typically resolve over time.
• Need for revision surgery in rare cases.
