    What is a Butt Lift?

    Also known as a gluteal lift, a Butt Lift is a cosmetic procedure that enhances the shape and contour of the buttocks. It addresses sagging skin or unwanted fat around the buttocks, and tightens the underlying tissues to improve overall projection, giving the buttocks a lifted and more refined profile.

    It is important to note that unlike other butt enhancement surgeries, a Butt Lift does not increase the size of your buttocks. Instead, it focuses on lifting and sculpting a higher, firmer, and more toned version of your current bum.

    If gravity is taking a toll on the shape and firmness of your buttocks, a Butt Lift might be the best solution. This procedure not only improves contour but also elevates overall proportion, creating a more youthful silhouette and boosting confidence in your appearance.

    Dr. David Shokrian and his dedicated team guide you through every step of the process, creating personalized treatment plans that ensure you achieve safe, natural-looking results.

    Why get a Butt Lift?

    Whether you are getting older and simply want a more rejuvenated look or you have lost weight and are now left with unsightly loose skin, a Butt Lift can help you feel better. The best thing about a Butt Lift is that it tightens your buttocks without adding any volume through fat grafting, silicone implants, or injectable fillers.

    With a Butt Lift, you can look forward to:

    • Enjoying renewed confidence as a Butt Lift would transform the way you look and move.
    • Buying clothes that you loved but avoided, such as bathing suits or yoga pants, due to your sagging butt.
    • Wearing clothes that fit well without excess skin hanging from your backside.

    A Butt Lift procedure is not limited by gender. If your doctor considers you a good candidate for surgery, you can go for it. Butt Lifts can help you look and feel your best, especially if sagging skin has been affecting your body-image.

    Not everyone’s vision of a better butt is a bigger butt. A butt lift tightens your buttocks without adding any volume by fat grafting, silicone implants or injectable fillers. Perhaps you’re getting older and simply want a more lifted look, or perhaps you lost weight and are now left with unsightly loose skin.

    Health Benefits of a Buttock Lift

    • Improved posture – Lifting and reshaping the buttocks balances the body and reduces lower back strain.
    • Enhanced comfort – Removing sagging skin can reduce chafing and irritation.
    • Boosted confidence – Enhancing your appearance helps you feel good about yourself.
    • Healthy lifestyle – Looking and feeling your best can motivate you to maintain these results and embrace a healthier lifestyle.
    • Better clothing options – A more contoured shape means you can wear anything you want.
    • Increased mobility – Improved shape makes movement comfortable and effortless.

    A Butt Lift transforms more than your appearance. It also impacts how you feel and move through life.

    Am I a good candidate for a Butt Lift?

    A Butt Lift is an excellent way to enhance your derriere, refine your silhouette, and enjoy a better fit in your clothes.

    • You have sagging or drooping buttocks.
    • You have flat buttocks.

    What to Expect During Your Butt Lift Consultation?

    Your buttock lift begins with a detailed consultation with one of our surgeons. During this session, they will evaluate your current health, review your medical history, and overall lifestyle, and ask about your reasons and goals for a Butt Lift.

    They will also explain what the Butt Lift procedure includes, and outline its benefits and potential risks to ensure you have a clear understanding for making an informed decision.

    They will also discuss:

    • The treatment approaches they find most suitable for you
    • Techniques that are used during the procedure
    • Anesthesia options
    • Recovery timeline and post-surgery instructions
    • Pricing information

    You can also ask questions or express any concerns you may have regarding the procedure.  This session will set realistic expectations and help determine if this is the right approach for you.

    How Is a Butt Lift Performed?


    A Butt Lift procedure typically follows these steps:

    • Before the Butt Lift surgery starts, you will be given anesthesia so you don’t feel any pain during the procedure.
    • The surgeon marks incision points and makes the cuts. Depending on how your butt sits, the incisions are made just above the buttocks on the lower back, below the cheeks, or along the hips.
    • Next, the surgeon strategically pulls the skin to leave a tighter, but still natural-looking, bottom.
    • If they feel the need, your surgeon may include liposuction with your Butt Lift to remove any lumpy pockets of fat around your bum.
    • Once your new bum is sculpted, the incisions are secured with sutures and dressed with bandages.
    • Your doctor will place surgical drains under your skin to drain any excess fluid or blood from your buttocks as a result of the surgery.

    After the procedure is complete, you will be moved to a recovery room and monitored until you are fully awake and ready to go home. The doctor will provide guidelines on how to care for your incisions and manage your drains at home.

    Butt Lift Recovery Timeline

    Recovery time and post-surgery instructions for your Butt Lift will depend on the procedure and your body’s natural healing process. It is normal to expect swelling, bruising, and discomfort after a Butt Lift surgery. To protect your results, you will have to lie down on your stomach or side for several weeks before sitting directly on your buttocks.

    You should plan to take off from work for at least 2 to 4 weeks to allow your incisions to heal and give your body time to recover. Most patients can resume light activities during this period. A full return to normal activities usually begins around 4 to 6 weeks after surgery, depending on your healing process and as advised by your surgeon.

    Wearing a compression garment is crucial for a smooth and successful recovery. You will be discharged wearing it on the day of the Butt Lift. It applies consistent, gentle pressure to the treated area, which helps the newly contoured tissues settle properly. It also keeps the swelling down and supports a firmer, more defined shape as your body recovers.

    It will take several weeks and in some cases, months before the final results are visible as your body heals and swelling subsides.  With proper care and a healthy lifestyle, you can enjoy long-lasting, beautifully contoured results from your Butt Lift.

    How can I further improve the look of my butt?

    A Butt Lift is one of the several surgical options to improve the look of your butt through cosmetic surgery.

    Other procedures that can complement a Butt Lift include:

    • Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) – It uses fat from other areas of the body to enhance the butt shape and add natural volume to it.
    • Buttock Implants – This procedure uses artificial implants made of Silicone to provide additional fullness and projection to your butt.
    • Liposuction – It removes excess fat from surrounding areas, like the waist or thighs, to improve your overall body contour.
    • Non-surgical Butt Lift – Dermal fillers, or thread lifts, are a convenient and accessible alternative to surgical butt enhancement and plump your backside effectively.
    • Butt reduction – This surgery reshapes the buttocks by reducing their volume and removing excess bulk.

    With a variety of techniques and surgeries designed to help you achieve your ideal shape, you can look forward to the most natural, beautiful contours. Dr. Shokrian ensures you choose the methods best suited to reach your unique aesthetic outcomes.

    What’s the difference between BBL and a Butt Lift?

    Despite the similarity in name, a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) is different from a Butt Lift surgery. A Butt Lift primarily focuses on raising and smoothing sagging and wrinkled skin, while a BBL works to enhance and add volume to your butt.

    In BBL, a plastic surgeon first removes excess fat from one part of the body, like your stomach or thighs, through liposuction, and injects that fat into areas of your butt to create more volume, lift, and a rounded shape.

    A traditional Butt Lift works well in cases where excess skin has to be removed, especially after pregnancy or significant weight loss. It is ideal for people with skin laxity who do not require additional volume but seek a firmer and more toned buttock appearance.
     

    Is a Butt Lift the same as Barbie Butt Surgery?

    No. Butt Lift surgery is a cosmetic body contouring surgery that enhances, shapes, or lifts the buttocks by tightening the sagging skin and removing excess fat. On the other hand, a Barbie Butt surgery is a medical procedure that removes the rectum and anus, often for treating inflammatory bowel disease.

    Despite its name, Barbie butt surgery is not a cosmetic procedure. For some people with serious medical conditions, it is a life-saving operation.  

    Some medical reasons that lead to a Barbie butt surgery include:

    • Crohn’s diseases
    • Ulcerative colitis  
    • Rectal cancer

    Its official name is proctocolectomy, which is the surgical removal of the rectum, where the anus is sewn up.  If you don’t have any of the above conditions and just seek a cosmetic surgical fix to a sagging butt, a Butt Lift will do that for you.

    How much does a Butt Lift cost?

    The cost of a Butt Lift can vary, depending on several factors.

    Some of them include:

    • The degree of change you want
    • The procedure you choose
    • The size of the area being treated
    • The surgeon’s expertise and location
    • Your skin type
    • The amount of fat being removed
    • The type of equipment used
    • The type of anesthesia required
    • Your medical history
    • Post-operative care

    It is important to note that a Butt Lift is an elective cosmetic procedure. This means it will not be covered by your insurance. However, there are exceptions if your health professional determines that it is a medical necessity. In such cases, your insurance provider may pay partially or fully for the procedure, depending on your specific policy and the medical justification provided.

    At Millennial Plastic Surgery, we understand that paying a large amount for a Butt Lift in a single payment may be challenging. To make it more manageable, we offer flexible payment plans and third-party financing options that help you pursue your butt enhancement journey stress-free.
