What Is a Butt Lift?

A butt lift is a surgical procedure, also known as gluteoplasty.

It is a very popular procedure - thousands of people every year get great results from it.

It lifts the sagging flat piece at the bottom of the butt. Tightening the skin of this section of the buttocks makes the butt look more attractive.

Butt lift surgery removes skin and fat by liposuction and excision. The procedure takes around 2 to 4 hours.

Plastic surgeons make an incision at the top of the butt to remove extra skin and pull the residual skin tight. Fat may also be removed with scalpel or liposuction to give a balanced and sexy contour to the butt and thigh area.

The incisions are expertly stitched to minimize scarring. The butt looks attractive in and out of jeans when scarring is minimized.

Types of Lift

There are generally two types of butt lift.

A traditional excisional butt lift helps with excess droopy skin.

A Brazilian butt lift augments the backside. It inserts excess fat in strategic spots to give a firm shapely butt.

Who Is It For?

A butt lift will benefit anyone who wants better contour of the buttocks.
People who are most likely to benefit are:

• those with excess skin from a sudden reduction in weight, and
• those with excess skin due to genetic factors or aging.

Mothers often report their butt has sagged since they had their children. A butt lift can get their butt looking as good or better than it did before.

A qualified plastic surgeon will tell a patient whether butt lift surgery will work for them. They will base their decision on their body shape and the quality of the skin.

What Happens Before the Surgery?

The plastic surgeon will check the patient's measurements and body type. They will ask about general health and any risk factors.

Existing health conditions are risk factors the surgeon will be particularly interested in. 

They will also need to know about any medications or supplements the patient is taking.

The patient's current use of alcohol or other drugs is an important factor to consider. As are any previous experiences with anesthetic and the body's reaction to it.

What to Expect After the Surgery

It is important patients give the body the rest time it needs after surgery. For skin and tissues to heal properly.

The patient will work with the surgeon to plan how long they should rest for before returning to work. This will depend on the health of the patient, healing, and the level of activity required in their work.

Patients can expect some pain and swelling after even extremely successful procedures.

The surgeon will insert a drain to remove excess fluid. This will remain in place for two or three weeks. It may be left longer depending on the patient and the surgery.

How Long Will Healing Take?

Patients will need to rest well for two or three weeks after the surgery. Full healing of the body can take up to a few months.

The better health the patient is in prior to surgery can determine healing time.

Being in excellent health before surgery reduces the risk of complications. It is recommended patients have a healthy diet and exercise regularly before surgery.

To get best results patients should maintain a good diet and regular activity.

Post surgery they will need to wait on surgeon's all-clear to resume activity. This will ensure long-lasting results and benefits from the butt lift.

If patients put on excess weight after the surgery it can stretch the skin. This may put at risk the great results they achieved from a butt lift.

What Should I Look for in a Surgeon?

Price is important, so a patient should get a few quotes and compare them.

The most important thing is the experience and qualifications of the surgeon.

It is very important to choose the right surgeon for this procedure. The chance of surgical complications is higher with a poor-quality surgeon.

Patients should meet with a few surgeons to see who they feel most comfortable with. They should check their credentials and ask to see photos of their previous results.

Patients should read all client reviews, not only positive ones!
