The Specifics


What is a butt lift?

A buttock lift is a plastic surgery procedure to improve the appearance and contours of the buttocks, and by extension improve body contouring. Excess skin and skin sagging due to aging or significant weight loss can be addressed through a butt lift procedure.

Often a butt lift is combined with other cosmetic procedures such as a liposuction of excess fat with fat transfer for buttock augmentation to further refine and define the butt contours; this type of procedure is known as a Brazilian butt lift. To perform a Brazilian butt lift procedure a good candidate must have enough fat cells for fat grafting.

What cosmetic concerns does a butt lift procedure treat?

  1. Buttocks Shape & Size: Excision of sagging and excess skin is combined with strategic suturing for internal supports to firm, tighten, and contour the shape of the buttocks during a buttock lift.
