What is Butt Lift?

Butt Lift

Buttock lifting is a modern aesthetic surgery procedure applied to shape and tighten the buttocks area. It aims to correct sagging and deformities caused by genetic factors, aging or weight changes. This procedure provides a natural-looking, more lifted and aesthetically more attractive buttocks. With its increasing popularity today, it is a safe aesthetic surgery method preferred by both women and men.

Butt Lift (Butt Lifting) Surgery

Buttock lifting surgery is a surgical procedure performed to remove sagging in the buttocks area and to achieve a more aesthetic appearance. During the surgery, excess skin, fat and tissue in the buttock area are removed, followed by stretching.

The main stages of the surgery are as follows:

  • Detailed patient examination and surgery planning
  • General anesthesia
  • Making planned skin incisions before surgery
  • Removal of excess tissue and fat
  • Skin tightening and suturing

The surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The method to be followed during the procedure may vary according to the needs of the person. In classical butt lift, the sagging skin in the hip area is removed. If the patient has excess fat, excess fat can also be removed by liposuction. If buttock lifting surgery is performed on a patient with massive weight loss or sagging buttocks due to aging, extra volume may be needed to shape the buttocks. In such a case, it can be combined with BBL or buttock implant. However, in cases where extra volume is needed, shaping and augmentation with the patient's own tissues should be preferred first. This is called "buttock augmentation with autogenous tissue". In this procedure, the subcutaneous and fatty tissues that need to be removed in the surgery are not discarded, but are prepared by removing the skin on it and advanced into the pocket prepared on the muscle under the butt skin to give extra volume to the butt. Very successful and satisfactory results are obtained with this procedure.

Postoperative scars are planned to be hidden in the transition area of the buttocks and waist and in the bikini line. The healing process may take several weeks. The operation usually takes 2-4 hours and requires at least one overnight stay in the hospital.

⇧ Why is Butt Lift Surgery Preferred?

Butt lift surgery can be preferred for many different reasons. Especially deformations in the hip area due to aging, sudden weight loss or genetic factors can negatively affect people's self-confidence.

The main reasons for preference are as follows:

  • Eliminate butt sagging that occurs with aging or after a large amount of weight loss
  • To restore the deformities and sagging that may occur after birth
  • Making genetically saggy buttocks more attractive
  • Correcting the appearance of asymmetrical buttocks
  • Eliminating unwanted excess skin folds on the lower buttocks by increasing skin tightness
  • To achieve a fuller, symmetrical and attractive butt appearance
  • Preventing self-esteem problems

Butt lift is most commonly performed in combination with post-bariatric surgery procedures in patients with excessive weight loss. For this purpose, it is usually combined with tummy tuck surgery. This combination is also known as 360 lifting or belt lipectomy. Another frequently combined surgery is thigh lift surgery. This combination is also known as pantsing surgery.
