What is a buttock lift?
A buttock lift, also known as a gluteoplasty, is a surgical procedure which restores the appearance of the buttocks and upper part of the thighs by tightening and removing loose skin. Skin becomes loose over time for several reasons: it might be a result of a significant weight loss, ageing, pregnancy, or simply genetics. A buttock lift surgery will benefit those who wish to regain a toned appearance of their backside.
During a buttock lift, a patient is put under general anesthesia. A surgeon makes a continuous incision right above each buttock and pulls sagging skin up. Any excess skin is then removed and the rest of the skin is tightened. A final result is a youthful, wrinkle-free buttock area.
A buttock lift can be tailored so it best fits the needs of an individual patient. People who wish to get rid of the saggy skin in the buttock should opt for a traditional buttock lift. However, if there is a wish for a more enhanced figure and increased volume of the backside, a buttock augmentation, for example, fat grafting should be chosen instead.
Which areas are corrected during a buttock lift?
Buttock lift surgery targets the gluteal area as well as the upper part of the thighs. This procedure also smoothens and tightens the skin of the lower back. Moreover, a buttock lift can improve the transition from the buttock to the tights.
Patients who are interested in increasing the size of their buttock, would mostly benefit from a buttock augmentation surgery and should consider a brazilian butt lift or buttock implants.
Who is a suitable candidate for a buttock lift?
A proper candidate for a buttock lift is someone with significant soft tissue looseness and a moderate amount of fat in the gluteal region. A buttock lift procedure may be a favorable choice for patients who have already been exercising and eating a well-balanced diet. A buttock lift will help to achieve a desired look by correcting saggy, bumpy or wrinkly skin.
Note that a prospective patient should not plan to lose any more weight after the surgery. By the time of the surgery the patient should be at a stable weight for at least 6 months. Weight fluctuations can have a negative impact on the results of the treatment. Note that a body mass index (BMI) should not exceed 27.
Patients with risk increasing conditions (diabetes, heart and blood clotting disorders) or a long history of smoking are also eligible for the procedure. However, such conditions can affect a person’s suitability for anaesthesia and can also disrupt wound healing during the recovery process. It is important to discuss every particular case with a surgeon so that any complications can be prevented and the desired look achieved. Having a good overall health, realistic expectations and a positive outlook are also highly welcomed features of a prospective patient.
Preparing for surgery
It is essential to consult with a doctor a couple of weeks before the surgery about taking certain medication such as aspirin or other blood-thinning drugs.
Smoking and alcohol consumption should be avoided one month before and after surgery so that it does not affect the healing process by restricting blood circulation.
Skin condition and wound healing greatly depends on nutrition. Therefore, enough proteins and vitamins such as zinc, vitamin A and C, which are important for the synthesis of collagen, should be consumed. Note that vitamin, mineral and protein malnutrition impairs all stages of immune response, wound healing and tissue production
Medical examination and a review of medical history is an essential step before a surgery. A surgeon will examine a patient’s skin quality as well as proportions of the figure and discuss available strategies. The patient will have to undergo necessary lab tests, including blood work, a urine test, ECG (electrocardiogram), X-rays, or others. The surgeon will explain in detail the plan of the surgery and recovery. Before and after photos of the buttocks might also be taken.
In order to prevent regurgitation during surgery an empty stomach is required for anyone undergoing general anaesthesia. Therefore, patients should not eat or drink 6 hours before surgery. Patients should try to get a good night’s sleep and keep calm before surgery. On the day of the surgery patients should not wear any make up, wigs or hairpieces. Comfortable and loose clothing is best in this case.
Note that preparing mentally is just as important as being physically ready. In order to make your surgery experience as comfortable as possible you may ask someone close to stay with you during the first few days after your surgery.
A buttock lift vs. a brazilian butt lift
It may be challenging to firmly decide which surgery the patient should proceed with; therefore, the most effective approach will be recommended during the consultation with a surgeon. A buttock lift and a brazilian butt lift procedures can both be individually customized to meet each patients’ needs, however, they greatly differ in their primary purpose.
A buttock lift is a surgical procedure designed to restore the appearance of the gluteal areaby lifting and tightening the loose and saggy skin. Therefore, this procedure is not suitable for patients who wish to increase their buttock size.
A brazilian butt lift is a procedure which is designed primarily to enhance the size and prominence of the buttock. It is performed by firstly harvesting a patient’s own fat cells from the body areaslike abdomen, flanks, back, arms or thighs. The fat is then strategically injected into the buttock giving it a more contoured silhouette.
Recovering after a buttock lift
After a buttock lift surgery an incision, which has been made along the bikini line, is sutured and covered with wound dressings. Sutures are supposed to dissolve after approximately a week and do not require to be removed. A patient should also expect to have a compression garment put on. It aids in keeping tissues tightly in place and it also prevents seroma. In order to prevent the build-up of the serous fluids a surgeon will most likely place drain tubes under the wound. The doctor will provide any necessary information regarding the care of the wounds.
Pain should begin to decrease within 72 hours after surgery. In order to reduce discomfort a patient should use pain-relieving drugs prescribed by a physician. If the pain is still sharp and long lasting the patient should contact the clinic.
Approximately 2 weeks off work are recommended to rest and heal properly because swelling and discomfort usually subsides in that time. Final results can be appreciated after residual swelling is gone, which usually takes up to 3 months.
A patient should not sleep on the back and should avoid sitting directly on the buttock for at least 8 weeks. Patients are advised to sleep in a prone position (on the belly) or on the sides. Any kind of movement that may put strain on the wound should be avoided, including exercising, sexual intercourse, swimming and driving.
Advantages of a buttock lift
Disadvantages of a buttock lift
Combining a buttock lift with other surgeries
Combining several surgeries might be effective since it allows for a lower traveling price as well as a shorter recovery time. However, with every additional procedure the risk of complications increases and the recovery process becomes more difficult.
A buttock lift may be combined with liposuction, a tummy tuck, a liposculpture or a thigh lift. Unfortunately, some surgeries are difficult to combine because of complicated recovery. For example, breast augmentation, rhinoplasty as well as facial rejuvenation procedures, such as a face-lift, an eyelid-lift and a lip correction are recommended to be performed separately. Bear in mind that a few successful recoveries are usually less stressful than one but long and difficult.
Possible complications of a buttock lift
Even though a buttock lift is not considered a high-risk surgery there are possible complications that a patient should be informed of. The risk of complications varies greatly among people, therefore, each case should be discussed and evaluated separately.
Seroma is a fluid accumulation beneath the skin. As skin and fat tissues are separated and repositioned some gaps may be left between the tissues. Body’s natural reaction is to produce serous fluids and fill those gaps in. In order to prevent seroma drains are usually placed under the wound and a compression garment is worn. A surgeon can also remove serous fluid by using a syringe.
Scars should not be visible while wearing underwear since the incision is made below the bikini line. However, they may become noticeable if a patient’s skin lacks elasticity or due to poor wound healing.
Poor wound healing can happen if a patient does not follow doctor’s recommendations for a successful recovery. If wounds become infected the patient might be prescribed antibiotics or other medications.
Change in skin sensation might happen as a result of tissue repositioning. During a buttock lift the skin and underlying fat tissue are lifted and repositioned which might damage peripheral nerves. Sensitivity will return gradually, however, it might take several months. In rare cases a loss of sensation can be permanent.
