Buttock Lift

A buttock lift can eliminate the appearance of drooping skin and give the buttocks a more toned and athletic look. This body contouring procedure addresses the natural effects of aging and recent weight loss that may have caused extra skin and fat to accumulate in the buttocks region. Buttock lift also helps patients who have buttocks that appear asymmetrical or have been affected by trauma or injury. It can also help patients who would simply like the appearance of the buttocks to be in better proportion to the rest of their body.

BUTTOCK LIFT PROCEDURE

A full buttock lift usually involves making a small incision t the top of the buttocks, and sometimes in the his and groin area. The excess skin and fat are removed and the remainder is pulled taut and re-sculpted , giving a more youthful appearance. Typically, a buttock lift is performed as an outpatient procedure and under general anesthesia, lasting from three to six hours.

BUTTOCK LIFT RECOVERY

Swelling and bruising is expected after surgery and it may take several weeks before you feel completely back to normal. To control swelling and facilitate the healing process, a compression garment is worn for about three weeks after surgery. Generally, patients are generally able to resume their normal routines within the first three weeks after surgery, however, strenuous activities should be avoided during recovery.
