Buttocks
Buttocks - An area that is often greatly
affected by major weight loss is the butt. This area is mostly made
up of fat, muscle and skin. After weight loss the amount of fat
changes affecting the contour of the derriere. An ideal butt is
high, firm and round. Usually when a patient looses a lot of fat
from their buttocks the area is left with a lot of extra saggy skin
overlaying the muscle and remaining fat and a lack of projection
and shape. By removing the excess skin and creating a more pleasing
buttocks contour patient’s look and feel better about their
new rear view.

Butt Lift
Buttocks Lift General Information: The butt
lift is a procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the buttock
as well as lift it. Candidates for butt lifts are usually those
who have had extreme weight gains and losses or have developed laxity
due to age. The butt lift reshapes the derriere creating a smoother
and more aesthetically pleasing bottom. The scar runs along the
top of the buttock and may be concealed with underwear, bathing
suit or other clothing. Like any surgical procedure there are risks
and benefits that will be discussed at your consultation.
Length of Surgery: 2 to5 Hours
Location: Accredited Surgery Center or Hospital
Anesthesia: General Recovery Time: The patient
can usually return to work in 1 to 2 weeks depending on the individual.
Exercise and strenuous activity may be done at 4 to 6 weeks following
surgery.
ost Operative Results: Each patient heals
differently; however following the surgery patients may experience
temporary pain, swelling, possible bruising, soreness and fatigue.
The incisions will fade and flatten with time. It has been our experience
that patients are very happy with their post op results and their
new look.
Helpful Surgery Hints: Be in good mental
and physical health. Any herbal medications must be stopped 2 weeks
prior to surgery. Discontinue any use of Aspirin and anti- inflammatory
drugs two weeks before surgery. Maintain a healthy diet, exercise
regularly and do not smoke. Female patients taking birth control
pills must stop taking the pills one month prior to surgery and
one month after surgery. Help improve healing by taking our surgical
pre and postoperative vitamins.
