Butt lift or buttock lift is one of the effective ways to get rid of excess skin and fat in the gluteal area. This procedure is also an excellent choice to restore butt appearance after dramatic weight loss. Every year thousands of people undergo butt lift and are quite pleased with the results.
Should I Consider a Butt Lift?
A buttock lift might be right for you if you want your gluteal area to appear smoother and more toned. The good thing about this procedure is that it can help get rid of sagging skin and excess fat in your buttocks. Most patients after a dramatic weight loss decide to go for a buttock lift to improve the appearance of the gluteal area.
Often excess fat and skin can add bulk to your buttocks and it can ruin your efforts to achieve a more sculpted body. Remember that you might be a good candidate for butt lift if:
- You have undergone significant weight loss
- You have loose or sagging skin below the waist line
- Relatively thin layers of fat make you conscious about how your buttocks look
If you are in good health and do not smoke, you are most likely to be a good candidate for this procedure.
How is a Butt Lift Performed?
There are many different techniques and approaches for a butt lift but generally, an incision will be made at the top of the buttocks, in the groin or under the butt cheeks. This incision will help remove excess skin and fat. Patients, who desire a more dramatic look, opt for other supporting procedures such as a liposuction of the thighs and buttocks. Removing excess fat as you can guess helps achieve a balanced look.
Once the required amount of fat or excess skin is removed, the skin is pulled tight and the incision is closed. Usually dressing is placed to reduce swelling and discomfort in the area.
How Will My Recovery Be Like?
Depending on the results you desire, your medical condition, how much excess skin and fat there is to remove and of course, the shape of your body, Dr. Turker Ozyigit will determine the options that are available for you.
If removing excess skin and fat will result in a loss of volume, Dr. Turker might advise a buttock augmentation. Remember that the incisions made are usually hidden underneath the butt cheek along the crease. If liposuction is involved, there will be additional tiny scars that are almost unnoticeable.
During your initial consultation with Dr. Turker, you will have the opportunity to discuss your cosmetic goals and what this procedure can do for you. You will be guided about the surgery, recovery as well as post operative care instructions including how long it will be before you can return to work and your normal level of activity.
Most buttock lift procedures can take anywhere from 3 to 6 hours to complete, but may take even longer. General anesthesia is more commonly used during the procedure and you will receive pain medication to keep you comfortable after the surgery.
