Buttock Lift
A procedure that removes excess skin and lifts sagging tissue in the buttock area for a firmer contour.
What is Buttock Lift?
A buttock lift removes excess, sagging skin from the buttock area and lifts the remaining tissue to a firmer, more youthful position, most often needed following significant weight loss or due to age-related changes in skin elasticity. Your surgeon makes carefully planned incisions, typically positioned to be hidden by clothing, removing excess skin and repositioning the remaining tissue. This can be combined with fat grafting or an implant if additional volume is also desired. The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia, typically taking two to three hours.
Why is this procedure performed?
- Sagging, loose skin in the buttock area
- Skin laxity following significant weight loss
- A desire for a firmer, more lifted buttock contour
- Combined with other body contouring procedures following major weight loss
- Age-related changes in buttock shape and skin elasticity
How does this procedure help?
A buttock lift restores a firmer, smoother contour to an area that can be significantly affected by weight loss or aging, often bringing meaningful improvement in both appearance and clothing fit. Results become fully apparent as swelling resolves over several weeks. Many patients combine this with other body contouring procedures as part of a comprehensive plan following major weight loss.
