Summary of Butt Lift

Cost :
Synopsis:
A Butt Lift is a procedure that will address and dramatically improve the appearance of a drooping or sagging buttocks due to weight loss or aging. The SixSurgery team will tighten, lift, and firm the area while improving the overall shape and contour. They do this by removing the excess skin from the buttocks and the back of the upper thigh. This may also improve the appearance of cellulite!

What is a Butt Lift

During a butt lift, excess skin is removed to provide a more pleasing contour. It helps to remove large amounts of loose, hanging and sagging skin on the buttocks and the back of the upper thighs. Butt lift surgery may also improve the appearance of cellulite, returning the body to a more pleasing appearance after loss of skin elasticity due to extreme weight loss or natural changes due to aging.

Are you a Good Candidate?

Patients who have experienced extreme weight loss and are left with drooping, sagging skin are good candidates for butt lifts. Butt lifts offer patients smoother, toned buttocks that fill out clothing better, providing a boost in self-confidence. Additionally, candidates for butt lift often have:
Loss of skin elasticity in the buttocks
Excess skin or sagginess
Crinkled thighs, or thighs that are flabby or dimpled due to cellulite or lack of exercise
A positive outlook and realistic goals for the outcome of the surgery
A commitment to a healthy lifestyle, with proper nutrition and fitness
A stable weight for at least a year, with no additional weight loss expected

Butt Lift Journey

The purpose of a butt lift is to remove excess skin and fat through surgical excision and liposuction. The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia.

During the procedure, the SixSurgery team makes an incision atthe top of the buttocks, hips and groin or under the buttock cheeks to remove excess skin. This skin is then pulled tight. Liposuction may be used to provide additional contour to the buttock area and achieve a more balanced look. The incisions are then sutured together in layers to make sure that the skin stays tight. Drains are placed, and a compression garment is applied to help reduce swelling and to tighten the skin.

There are incisions involved, which will leave scars that diminish over time. If liposuction is used, there will be additional, smaller scars that will fade and will generally not be visible after healing.

Recovery Process

Patients recovering from butt lift surgery should be prepared to lay on their stomach as much as possible during the first two weeks following surgery, and should avoid sitting any longer than 15-20 minutes during that time.

Once the anesthesia wears off, you will probably have some pain. This can be controlled with the pain medication prescribed for you by the SixSurgery team. You will also have swelling and redness following the procedure. In some patients, the swelling can take weeks or even months to resolve. It is critical that you do nothing strenuous, including lifting, for 4-6 weeks following your surgery. Butt lift surgery is quite extensive and requires several weeks of recovery. Patients can return to work or school in about two weeks, but full healing may take several months.

You will notice results immediately following the surgery, but it can take 2-3 months for the swelling to subside in order to see the full effects of the procedure.
