Buttock lift

Buttock lift

Buttock lift helps to get rid of excess skin that has formed after significant weight loss or due to age-related changes (buttock ptosis). Excess skin is removed through small incisions hidden in the buttock fold or in the bikini area. There is also a combined operation, when after a buttock lift, the buttocks are enlarged by transplanting their own fat tissue or installing silicone implants, and acquire a beautiful, lush shape.

The service is available in branches:

Buttock lift

Indications and contraindications for buttock lift

The main indication for buttock lift is sagging skin after significant weight loss. This skin cannot be removed with physical exercises or tapes, it interferes with sports and causes discomfort. The lift will also help with sagging skin. Contraindications to the operation are general surgical: acute infectious diseases and oncological diseases, blood clotting pathologies, pregnancy and lactation.

Buttock lift results

After removing excess skin, the buttocks become firmer and have a better shape. If a woman wishes, the lift can be combined with buttock plastic surgery using lipofilling or silicone implants.

What will happen if you don’t have a buttock lift?

If you don’t have a buttock lift, there will be no negative medical consequences. But the aesthetic defect – excess stretched skin – will not go away.

Popular Questions

Can you get your buttocks in shape with exercise?

Exercises to tighten the lower part of the buttocks are a great practice, but their capabilities are limited. Yes, you can slightly enlarge your buttocks by pumping up the muscles, but fitness will not get rid of traumatic deformation and excess sagging skin.

Does taping help to tighten the buttocks?

Taping visually tightens the buttocks under clothing, but only when the tapes are on the skin. After they are removed, no effect remains.

Can you tighten your buttocks without surgery?

There are many exercises for tightening the abdomen and buttocks that promise to reduce the buttocks. They can even be effective, but fitness does not solve the problem of excess skin, which is the main indication for a buttock lift.

At the VIRTUS Institute, we do not perform buttock lift with threads, Botox injections or fillers in the buttocks, because none of these methods gives the result that can be obtained after plastic surgery, but they are fraught with complications.

Preparation for a buttock lift

When preparing for a buttock lift, a woman should come for a consultation with a plastic surgeon and anesthesiologist and pass a preoperative package of tests. The surgeon makes a markup of where and how he will remove excess tissue, and agrees with the patient on the location of the scars and the desired type of anesthesia.

Stages of a buttock lift

A buttock lift can be performed under general or spinal anesthesia, with the patient lying on her stomach. The surgeon removes excess skin as marked and places stitches in the gluteal fold or bikini area, where they will not be visible. Due to the patient’s body position, a buttock lift is not combined with most other plastic surgeries, so if she has other wishes (for example, a thigh lift, a nose job, or a tummy tuck), the order of the surgeries should be discussed with a plastic surgeon.

Rehabilitation after buttock lift

After buttock lift, a woman stays in the clinic for one to two nights, after which she is discharged home. The swelling subsides in 8 to 10 days. For the first month, it is necessary to wear compression underwear and follow all the restrictions that the doctor has announced (for example, on active sports, bathing in a hot tub and visiting a sauna). The date of the control examination will also be set by the plastic surgeon. Usually this is the third, seventh, 14th day after the operation.
