Buttocks Lift
Buttock Enhancement Procedures
Ideal shape, volume and position of the buttocks is an indicator of youthfulness and beauty. Flattening and sagging of the buttocks can create an aged appearance. Like the rest of the body, the buttock changes over time. With significant weight loss and aging, the buttocks can lose volume and tone. Buttock lift surgery is designed to rejuvenate the position, contour and, using your own tissue, the volume of the buttocks. You may benefit from Buttock Enhancement Surgery if:
- You wish for improved buttock shape and projection using your own tissue
- You have lost a substantial amount of weight and have flattening of the buttocks
- You have skin laxity and sagging of your buttock tissues
The buttock lift, performed on its own or as part of a lower body lift, is the procedure Dr. Hurvitz uses to treat these problems. It repositions and reshapes your own tissue rather than adding an implant.
Buttock Lift Procedure
The Buttock Lift procedure is a component of a lower body lift that addresses circumferential lower body laxity as a result of weight loss or aging. It can also be done to improve the contour of flanks, thighs and buttocks after a previous tummy tuck procedure. Sagging excess skin is removed and the remaining buttock tissues are repositioned into a more youthful appearance. Using your own tissues a special auto-augmentation flap technique can be done to improve the volume and projection of the buttocks.
Typical Buttock Lift patients have experienced substantial weight loss through diet, exercise or bariatric (gastric banding and bypass) surgery.
The procedure is done under a general anesthetic and is an outpatient procedure. Patients typically take 7-10 days to recover and return to work. Patients can return to exercise as soon as they feel comfortable.
