Buttock Lift
Shape & Tone
A butt lift improves the shape and tone of the underlying tissue that supports fat and skin. Excess sagging fat and skin are removed to treat conditions caused in part by poor tissue elasticity. In addition, fat injections may be done in select areas to improve the contours the buttocks area.
A well-toned body with smooth contours often is a sign of fitness achieved by healthy diet and exercise. But exercise cannot always achieve desired results for people who have loose, sagging skin and uneven contours. Aging, sun damage, pregnancy and significant fluctuations in weight as well as genetic factors may contribute to poor tissue elasticity or volume and can result in sagging of the buttocks
If you desire a firmer, more youthful-looking butt, then a surgical butt lift may help achieve your goals. It improves the shape and tone of the underlying tissue that supports fat and skin.
Excess sagging fat and skin are removed to treat conditions caused in part by poor tissue elasticity. In addition, the procedure(s) can improve a dimpled, irregular skin surface, commonly known as cellulite.
What it won’t do:
Butt lifts are not intended strictly for the removal of excess fat. Liposuction alone can remove excess fat deposits where skin has good elasticity and is able to naturally conform to new body contours. In cases where skin elasticity is poor, a combination of liposuction and butt lift techniques may be recommended.
What happens during body lift surgery?
Medications are administered for your comfort during the surgical procedures. The choices include intravenous sedation and general anesthesia. Dr. Mueller will recommend the best choice for you.
Incision length and pattern depend on the amount and location of excess skin to be removed, as well as personal preference and surgical judgment.
An incision removes an apron of excess skin and fat and repositions and tightens tissues.
Before
After
A combination of liposuction, surgical butt lifts techniques, and fat injections to select areas may be necessary to achieve an improved contour. Deep support sutures within underlying tissues help to form the newly shaped contours.
Sutures, skin adhesives or tapes close the skin incisions.
The results of a butt lift are visible almost immediately. However, scars will remain, but the overall results are long-lasting, provided that you maintain a stable weight and general fitness.
As your body ages, it is natural to lose some firmness. However, most of your initial improvement should be relatively permanent.
