What is a Butt Lift?

A butt lift or excisional butt lift is a type of cosmetic surgery designed to improve the appearance of the buttocks, making it firmer, tighter, and less dimpled. It can be done on its own, with a tummy tuck, or as part of a body lift. During the procedure, excess skin and fat are removed from the buttocks, and the remaining skin and tissue are lifted to give the buttocks a higher and more youthful position. Incisions can be made along the lower back, near the hips, or under the buttocks.

It should be noted that the procedure is about lifting and changing the appearance of the buttocks, not enhancing it or adding volume. It can take 2-3 hours or more if combined with other procedures.

What are the Benefits of a Butt Lift?

Unlike other cosmetic butt procedures (such as fat grafting), a butt lift removes excess skin and improves sagging. But along with the removal of excess skin and fat, you can also look forward to the following benefits: 

  • Improved Contour and Shape
  • Improved Proportion
  • Less Dimpling in the Buttock Skin
  • Boost in Confidence
  • Customizable Results

Am I A Candidate for a Butt Lift?

Ideal candidates for an excisional butt lift are those who have sagging skin or excess fat on their buttocks, individuals who have lost a significant amount of weight and are struggling with sagging buttocks, have been at a stable weight for 6-12 months, and are generally healthy with realistic expectations.

It’s not right for you if you plan to lose a significant amount of weight, are pregnant or breastfeeding, are a smoker, have any medical conditions that could negatively affect the healing process, or have a BMI higher than 32.

What is Butt Lift Recovery Like?

After a buttock lift, your incision will be covered with a surgical dressing, and one or more drains will be placed under the wound to drain any excess blood or fluid. Swelling and bruising is common, but those side effects will dissipate as you heal over the next weeks and months. You will need someone to drive you to and from surgery and take care of you for the first few days. Walking the first day after your procedure to prevent blood clots is encouraged. 

Some discomfort is expected, but we will prescribe pain medication to ensure you’re comfortable. You will be provided with a compression garment for a few weeks to help ease swelling and support the healing process. 

We will also give you detailed instructions on how best to take care of your incisions and what to avoid. You will need to avoid sitting upright for 2-4 weeks and may need a special pillow when you’re approved to sit on the buttocks. You can likely return to work after 2-3 weeks, but it can depend on the type of job you have. 

For the first months after your buttock lift, you will need to take care when moving, increasing your activity level slowly. It is important to avoid positions that strain your incisions.

What are the Results of a Butt Lift?

Final results will take 3-6 months to fully appear as swelling and bruising subside, and at that stage, you can expect to see a more toned, firmer, and lifted appearance in your buttocks. The results are considered permanent, but you will need to stay at a stable weight to maintain your results.
