What is a buttock lift?
A buttock lift is a cosmetic procedure designed to alter the appearance of the buttocks, which may involve a variety of techniques. In some cases, it involves removing excess skin and fat. The remaining skin is then repositioned. This may suit individuals who are unhappy with their gluteal area, as excess skin and fat deposits can build due to natural aging, hereditary factors, or massive weight loss.
The buttock lift is a popular variation of this procedure, aiming to add volume via fat grafting and liposuction. It is more suited for patients with significant volume loss or who are unhappy with the aesthetic appearance of their gluteal area.
Depending on the extent of excess skin and fat, the quality of your skin, and your body shape, the procedure may be combined with a belt lipectomy, thighplasty, abdominoplasty, or torsoplasty. For patients who have experienced massive weight loss and have significant excess skin, a combination of these surgeries may be a good solution.
Individuals considering a buttock lift should have reached a healthy and maintainable weight. Individuals suffering from skin laxity and thin layers of fat underneath loose skin can also benefit from the removal of excess skin and fat.
