What Is Buttock Lift Surgery?

Buttock lift surgery (also known as a butt lift) improves the tautness and tone of the skin on the buttocks (although it doesn’t typically add structure or volume).  It is not to be confused with buttock implants or body contouring, although it can be done in combination with these procedures.   

Buttock lift surgery usually takes three to six hours and is performed in an outpatient setting with general anesthesia.  In a full buttock lift, short incisions are made laterally across the top of the buttocks, on the hips, and on top of the groin.  The surgeon removes any excess skin and fat from the thigh muscles and pulls the skin upward to the waist.  Drains are placed under the skin to drain out any excess fluids that may hinder the healing process.  The loose skin is trimmed and sutured into place.  After the surgery, the doctor will usually apply sterile dressings and compression garments around the affected area. 

Patients generally make a full recovery within four to six months.  While bruises and swelling may subside in a month, it can take up to three months for a patient to be able to resume strenuous activity.  For the first few weeks after buttock lift surgery, patients will likely experience some discomfort while sitting down.
