As the years pass, your buttocks can begin to sag, flatten, and lose the round, firm look of a youthful, athletic body. Cellulite dimples can begin to form, giving the area an unsightly, uneven texture. A butt lift procedure can repair and restore your derrière, giving it a smoother, lifted, and rounded look, attractive in all types of clothing.
Who is a Candidate for A Thigh Lift or Buttock Lift procedure?
If you have lost the youthful firmness in your thighs and buttocks.
When the buttocks have begun to droop, flatten or sag.
If you desire improvement of the quality of the surface of your thighs from an earlier liposuction procedure, or have unsightly cellulite dimpling.
Intended Results
- Bring out the contour of the thigh and buttock that you desire.
- Improve the size and curves of the buttocks.
- Improve the quality of the skin by alleviating the dimples and cellulite changes.
Description of a Thigh Lift and Buttock Lift
- A bikini line incision from the back to the sides of your upper buttock area is made. Significant attention is paid to create an incision that will be hidden beneath a bikini bottom or the most revealing undergarments.
- Occasionally, the “banana roll” is contoured by a novel procedure that shapes the lower buttock.
- Liposuction is often used to improve the shape and loosen the skin. The outer thighs and buttocks are carefully elevated and reshaped.
- Occasionally fat transfer is used to improve the quality of thighs and buttocks with extensive cellulite dimpling, or is injected to enhance the buttocks.
- This is an outpatient plastic surgery procedure done under general anesthesia.
Recovery from a Thigh Lift or Buttock Lift
- All sutures are under the skin and for many patients, no surgical drains are required.
- Most individuals take 2 weeks off work and resume exercise in about 6 weeks.
- The discomfort is well controlled with prescription pain medication.
- The final result is visible in about two to three months.
Other Procedures Performed with a Thigh Lift or Buttock Lift
- Additional procedures that may enhance results are liposuction, tummy tuck or buttock implants.
- Dr. Egrari’s extensive experience with massive weight loss body contouring brings you the latest in thigh and buttock enhancement. Occasionally he may recommend fat transfer to enhance the lift or fill defects of a poorly-done liposuction.
