Brazilian Butt Lift

Many patients have concerns regarding their appearance, and a buttock lift is a relatively common procedure that can be used to address many of these concerns. Over time, people may develop excess or sagging skin around their buttock region. This can develop due to gravity, genetics, weight loss, or the normal aging process. During this procedure, the skin will be raised and tightened around the buttock region. This will make the area appear less wrinkled or saggy and give patients the appearance that they’re looking for.

The patient’s medical conditions will be reviewed to ensure that surgery is safe. This includes allergies and prior medical treatments. The patient’s current medications, use of alcohol, and tobacco use will also be reviewed.

How is the procedure performed?

A plastic surgeon will use anesthesia to place the patient to sleep during the procedure. While every procedure is tailored to the patient’s individual needs, an incision is usually made just below the waist. The excess skin and fat will be removed from the area. The skin will then be tightened and closed gradually to ensure that the area is properly tightened. A clean dressing will be placed over the area to keep the area sterile. Patients will see the results after the procedure, but the final appearance will take some time to develop. People with questions should contact our office for more information!
