Buttock Lift

A Buttock Lift is a procedure designed to tighten the skin of the buttock area. The procedure can be performed alone or in combination with other operations such as a thigh lift and abdominoplasty.

The procedure involves the removal of excess skin from the buttock area. Liposuction may sometimes be incorporated to further improve body contour. The procedure involves cutting the skin high up on the side of the thigh and buttocks, removing excess fat and trimming away the excess skin.

Fashion trends in recent years have seen greater attention been given to areas of our bodies other than our faces. Often, women, and some men, are now seeking to improve the effects that gravity has had on their sagging flesh.

For example, buttocks begin to droop and change shape as we grow older and women have always been particularly conscious about the size and shape of their bottoms!


The buttocks lift can be performed as a solo procedure or as part of the total body lift. The procedure improves the contour of the buttock and makes it 'perkier'.

Young buttocks are firm, but in the course of years they can start to sag because of gravity and diminishing elasticity of the skin.


The butt lift can be achieved by two methods:

• Removing excess skin and tightening the skin above the upper part of the buttocks will lift the buttocks.

• The butt can also be lifted with fat injections or implants. The fat injection procedure is also referred to as the Brazilian butt lift . In addition to more volume and prominence, the fat injections give the butt more projection or lift.
