Buttock Lift
Also known as butt lift or gluteoplasty
Excess skin and fat from aging, heredity factors, or after dramatic weight loss in the gluteal area can be drastically improved with a buttock lift. Not to be confused with a “Brazilian butt lift,” which adds volume using fat transfer, this procedure involves only removing skin and fat through surgical excision and liposuction. Every year, thousands of people undergo successful buttock-lift surgery and are pleased with the results.
When to Consider a Buttock Lift
• If you have loose, sagging skin and extra fat in your buttocks
• If you recently experienced dramatic weight loss and are close to your ideal weight
• If your gluteal area makes you feel self-conscious
• If the excess skin and fat make you uncomfortable or cause mobility problems
