Butt Lift Procedures

In order for the surgery to be effective, it is also necessary that you do not smoke. Your surgeon will request you to quit smoking for a few weeks prior to the surgery. This is because smoking can affect your ability to heal.

Additionally, you must also have achieved a certain level of stability (one-year minimum) in regard to your weight. Further weight loss or gain must be avoided.

You must also be healthy on an overall basis. There should be no significant medical conditions such as heart disease or diabetes. Generally, it is best to get clearance from your doctor before your butt lift procedure.

WHAT TO EXPECT FOR THE BUTT LIFT PROCEDURE

The procedure is a simple one that involves surgically removing fat and skin through liposuction and excision. Though there are various approaches and techniques, the procedure generally involves making an incision in areas such as above the buttocks, in the groin region, below the cheeks of the buttocks, or on the hips.

Once the incision is created, the surgeon can remove the extra skin and pull the leftover skin taut. Liposuction may also be done to contour the thighs and buttocks further. This results in buttocks and thighs achieving a more balanced appearance.

Finally, the incisions are sutured and sealed in layers to ensure the tightness of the skin. After this, the necessary dressings are applied, and the placement of drains may be performed in order to carry out excess fluid.

RECOVERY PROCESS

During your recovery from the butt lift procedure, it will be important to relax and take it easy at home. Post-surgical bruising and swelling are normal and only temporary, and a compression garment may be provided to tighten the skin and to lower swelling.

It will be necessary to take time off from your job and your everyday activities so that your tissues can fully heal. Talk to your surgeon to receive full recovery instructions.
