Butt Lift – Eliminate Sagging With Long Lasting Results

If your buttocks are sagging due to loose skin and excess fat, butt lift is the cosmetic surgical procedure you can undergo to improve the appearance of your posterior. This is an increasingly popular procedure that many women are safely undergoing in the hands of experienced plastic surgeons. Butt lift is also known as a gluteoplasty and involves removal of excess fat and skin through liposuction and excision from the gluteal area to make it firmer and improve appearance. The procedure differs from a Brazilian butt lift that uses fat transfer to add volume and shape.

Your butt lift procedure should be performed by a highly experienced and skilled board certified plastic surgeon. Book for an appointment with Dr. Steven Bloch online at www.bodybybloch.com and during your consultation with the Chicago plastic surgeon will know the kind of results you can expect.

Am I a good candidate?

Loose skin and excess fat in your buttock area can frustrate your efforts to slim down to your desired body figure. You are likely to be a good candidate for a butt lift procedure if are bothered by the sagging butt. The same will apply if you have had a massive weight loss, but it is important to weight until your weight is stable. The excess fat in your gluteal area can also cause mobility problems or make you feel more self-conscious. You must however be in good health with no medical conditions that can impair healing after surgery. Medical tests may therefore be required. You should also not be a smoker or should stop it at least 6 weeks before surgery. During your consultation with Dr. Bloch to confirm your candidacy, you will be advised to stop anti-inflammatory medication or any supplements that can increase the risk of bleeding. The doctor will also discuss with you the expectations you have on results to confirm if they are realistic and that you fully understand any possible risks.

How is a buttock lift procedure performed?

There are many techniques and approaches, but generally:

• • Your surgeon will make an incision at the top of the buttocks, in the hips, groin, or under the buttock cheeks to remove excess skin and pull the remaining skin taut.
  • Liposuction may be used to further contour the buttock area or thighs to achieve a balanced look.
  • Any incisions are sutured and closed in layers to ensure that the skin remains tight.
  • Drains and dressings are placed and usually a compression garment or girdle is worn to reduce swelling and tighten the skin.

What is the Brazilian butt lift?

Butt lifts are the ideal option for those who want to eliminate sagging, which may be the result of aging, weight loss or excess skin in the area. This procedure does not add to the buttocks, but instead, lifts the area by removing skin and fat via liposuction and surgery. Similar to fat grafting, the results are long-lasting, but may ultimately result in reduced volume of the area – though it will remain firmer. For those looking to ramp up their rumps, the Brazilian butt lift may be the answer. Buttock augmentation can either be achieved through fat grafting or buttock implants, similar to breast implants. This procedure can lead to a fuller, rounder rear, but depending on which form of surgery the patient prefers, it may take up to six months to fully heal. However, the results are long-lasting and could help improve the fit of your clothing.
