Butt Lift Surgery

The sagging and drooping of the buttocks are the most common problems of women and are usually caused by age, sudden weight loss or incorrect liposuction techniques performed on the buttocks.

“Drooping of the lower and inner buttocks can be treated with a surgical procedure called buttock lift. The selection of patients for a buttock lift should be very careful and should be based on the severity of the problem and the expectations of each patient. Often, a buttocks lift is combined with a thigh lift, as most of the time there is also sagging in this area.” says Plastic Surgeon Dr. Ioannis Dalianoudis.

Planning prior to surgery

Pre-operative planning is performed with the patient in an upright position and involves planning the position and extent of the skin incisions so that there is symmetry in the result and the scars can be hidden by the patient’s underwear. The incisions may be made in the thigh crease (i.e. the line where the buttock joins the thigh) or higher up, at the thong line, so that they are less visible and covered by the underwear.

During a buttock lift, excess skin is removed and the plastic surgeon lifts the skin and the muscles to a higher position where they are pinned down, leading to a more youthful and toned appearance of the buttocks. The result is immediately visible and its duration depends on the stability of body weight, skin elasticity and the training of the area. A pressure bandage is also applied. Also, the size and shape of the implant that will be needed is determined.

Intervention

The buttocks lift is performed under general anesthesia and lasts approximately 1.5-2 hours. During the surgery, a small incision is made between the buttocks. The plastic surgeon creates a “pouch” between the skin and muscle bundles of the gluteus maximus muscle where the insert is placed. The result is permanent and immediately visible.

Postoperative Course

Hospitalization is limited to a few hours after the buttocks lift surgery. After surgery, the patient should not sit for about 2 weeks because the insert may move. The same care should be taken with sleeping, which should be done in a lateral position. In the first few days the patient should have reduced mobility.

The stitches are removed in about 15 days and the patient should then use special products to regenerate and improve the appearance of the scars. Return to work and daily activity is possible in 2 weeks, while return to gymnastics and physical activity is possible after 1 – 2 months. The patient is recommended to wear an elastic corset for approximately one month after the surgery.

Complications

Minor complications are swelling and bruising at the sites of the operation that last for a few days. More serious complications, such as hematoma and inflammation, are reduced by proper application of the appropriate technique, prophylactic antibiotic treatment and strict adherence to the instructions by the patient. If they occur, they are treated by drainage of the hematoma and antibiotics.
