Who is a candidate for buttock lift?

Intended results of buttock lift

Description of buttock lift procedure

• Buttock lifts are a part of lower body lifting or posterior body lift.
• By removing the excess of skin of the upper buttocks, the area is elevated and reshaped.
• Occasionally an innovative procedure called Autologus Augmentation Gluteoplasty is used to rebuild the flattened buttocks. This is a shift of a segment of the flanks and upper buttocks towards the prominence of the buttock to increase the size and enhance the contour of the mound. This is an internal flap of skin and fat that is placed in that position.
• Incisions are at the bikini line. All sutures are absorbable.
• Skin is covered with tape.
• Usually no drains are used.
• The operation is done as an outpatient under general anesthesia.

Recuperation and healing after buttock lift

• Most patients take 7-10 days off work.
• They resume exercise at 4-6 weeks.
• Final results are apparent at about 2-3 months.

Other options and information on buttock lift

• Occasionally an implant can be used as an adjunct to buttock enhancement in the future.
• Autologus augmentation gluteoplasty is a pioneering and innovative procedure that is recommended to patients that are deemed at high risk of flat buttocks after a lift.
• Buttocks can also be enhanced with injection of fat (Brazilian Butt Lift). Dr. Egrari’s experience has shown that this is not the best procedure for individuals who have had massive weight loss. The skin is too lax for such procedure and the results are often disappointing.
