Butt Reduction Before & After Results

What Is Butt Reduction Surgery?
Butt reduction surgery is a transformative procedure designed to sculpt, refine, and harmonize the contours of your body. It extracts fat deposits in your buttocks and tightens the skin and tissue for a slimmer outline, prioritizing your comfort.
Buttock reduction surgery, often referred to as a “reverse BBL” or buttock liposuction, focuses on reducing fat and volume rather than adding fullness. The procedure helps both men and women attain their desired body shape by eliminating excess fat and tightening sagging skin to create ideal buttock proportions.
The exact technique used depends on your anatomy, skin quality, and aesthetic goals, with an emphasis on achieving enhanced symmetry, balance and the right curves, while minimizing scarring.

My first butt lift was with another doctor and I didn’t have the desired results, but with millennial I had amazing results! Many doctors rejected me for another surgery. however that wasn't the case with this doctor. Very satisfied with the results!
I recently had a butt lift surgery and I couldn't be happier with the results. My surgeon was professional and skilled, and the recovery process was much easier than I had anticipated. The procedure has given me the confidence to wear clothing that I never thought I could before. I would highly recommend a butt lift to anyone considering it
This place was very good. The kindness and helpfulness of the staff was awesome. I loved Jess and my massages from Maribel..she was so good I wanted an 8 ounce bottle of milk and my bed after. Overall Dr. Shokrian was very honest in what he could do and what he couldn't which made my choice even easier.
Why Go for Butt Reduction Surgery?
Butt reduction surgery reshapes and contours the buttocks for natural-looking transformations, a more attractive and toned figure, and improved comfort in both men and women.
You should consider this cosmetic procedure if:
- Your bum is too big for the rest of your figure.
- You feel self-conscious when going out because of your bum size.
- You want a slimmer, more balanced body and backside profile.
- You seek a sleek, lifted, more alluring figure you have always dreamed of.
- You cannot find pants that fit properly.
- You have lost a lot of weight, but your backside still seems the same size as before
- Large buttock size causes discomfort while sitting, exercising, or dressing.
- You want to undo a previous butt implant procedure.
Butt reduction surgery removes excess fat and tissue from the buttocks to enhance your body outline. The procedure is customized to your unique body shape to achieve comprehensive, refined results that give your figure and confidence an amazing boost.
Health Benefits of Buttock Reduction Surgery
While buttock reduction surgery is often chosen for aesthetic reasons, it also provides several health and functional benefits, including:
- Reduced discomfort and pain – Surplus fat and tissue in the buttocks can lead to back, hip, or leg pain. Reducing buttock size can relieve pressure on these areas and improve overall comfort.
- Increased mobility and physical activity – Large or heavy buttocks can make certain movements and physical activities, such as running, walking, or climbing, more difficult. Buttock reduction enhances mobility, making these movements easier.
- Prevention of skin irritation and rashes – Sagging skin or tissue in the buttocks can cause chafing, rashes, or fungal infections in skin folds. Reduced butt size can help prevent these issues and promote healthier, soothed skin.
- Better posture and spinal alignment – Large buttocks can alter posture and body mechanics. Reduction surgery balances your body proportions, improves posture, and alleviates strain on the spine.
- Improved quality of life – Buttock reduction can make everyday activities, such as sitting, walking, and dressing, easier, more manageable, and less physically taxing, improving quality of life.
Improve Your Self-Confidence & Feel More Comfortable in Your Body With a Butt Reduction Surgery

Not everybody is a good candidate for butt reduction. If you have health complications — such as chronic heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, immunodeficiency, hepatitis B, leukemia or any kind of anemia — then butt surgery isn’t for you. The best candidates are otherwise healthy and fit.

- You are in overall good health.
- You don’t have any medical conditions that would interfere with healing, such as diabetes, heart disease, or bleeding disorders.

- You do not smoke
- You have realistic expectations regarding the surgery results.
Butt reduction surgery helps you achieve your desired body silhouette by removing the excess fat and skin and shaping your backside in a way that aligns with your body.

What to Expect During Your Butt Reduction Surgery Consultation?

- The treatment approaches that are most appropriate for you
- Surgical techniques that will be used during the procedure

How Is a Butt Reduction Surgery Performed?
A Butt reduction surgery typically follows these steps:
- Anesthesia
- Fat reduction
- Tissue and skin removal
- Incision closure
Anesthesia.
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia to ensure you remain comfortable and safe throughout the procedure.
Fat reduction
If excess fat is causing the problem, your surgeon may use liposuction. Small incisions are made in discreet areas, and a thin cannula is inserted to remove unwanted fat and sculpt the buttocks for a smoother, more balanced appearance.
Tissue and skin removal
In case of significant skin laxity or sagging, surgical excision becomes necessary. Your surgeon will make careful incisions to get rid of excess skin and tissue, while preserving natural contours. The remaining skin is tightened for a firmer, more lifted look.
Incision closure
Once the chosen shape has been attained, the incisions are closed with sutures. Dressing and compression garments are applied to support healing and reduce swelling.
After the procedure, you will be moved to a recovery room where you will be monitored as you wake up from anesthesia. Our medical team will make sure you are recovering well and provide detailed post-operative instructions, along with information about your follow-up appointments, before preparing you for discharge. .

Can Buttock Reduction Be Combined With Other Procedures?
Buttock reduction surgery can be performed with other procedures to enhance your overall body contour and achieve more balanced, natural-looking results. By combining treatments in a single surgery, your surgeon can address multiple areas of the body simultaneously and tailor the treatment to suit your individual health, anatomy, and aesthetic goals.
Some of the common procedures that complement butt reduction surgery include:
- Liposuction of the thighs, hips, or flanks – It removes excess fat from the thighs, hips, or flanks and leads to a better overall body profile.
- Thigh lift – This procedure tightens sagging skin on the inner or outer thighs for a smoother, firmer appearance.
- Lower body lift – It addresses loose skin around the abdomen, hips, and buttocks for comprehensive contouring and improved definition.
- Brazilian butt lift – It takes fat from other parts of the body to add volume or reshape the area of the buttocks as needed.
- Tummy tuck – It removes sagging skin and fat from the abdomen and tightens the area to create a more harmonious balance between the lower and upper body.
Combining procedures is a personal decision based on your individual body needs and cosmetic purposes. Your surgeon will carefully consider your current body shape, overall health, and desired outcomes to delivers safe and satisfying results.

Butt Reduction Surgery Recovery Timeline
Recovery time after buttock reduction surgery varies, depending on the procedure performed and your body’s natural healing process. To protect incisions and ensure optimal outcomes, avoid sitting on your butt. When necessary, sit on a special cushion or pillow to relieve pressure on the surgical area.
You will experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort during the initial days, but this pain can be managed with the prescribed medication. You will go home wearing compression garments that help support healing, reduce swelling, and allow contoured tissues to settle properly for a firmer, more defined shape.
You can return to light daily activities by the end of the first week, but avoid strenuous movements. It is best to rest and limit your movements, with the exception of short, gentle walks during the day to promote circulation for the next 2 weeks.
After 4 to 6 weeks, many patients can return to work and resume normal daily routines, including exercise, depending on their activity levels and comfort. Full recovery, including complete skin tightening and tissue settling, may take several months as the swelling and bruising subsides.
It is important to follow your surgeon’s post-operative instructions and attend all the follow-up sessions for long-lasting, beautifully contoured effects of your butt reduction surgery.
How Much Does a Butt Reduction Surgery Cost?
The cost of buttock reduction surgery varies depending on several factors, including:
- The surgeon’s expertise and location
- The degree of reduction you want
- The type of procedures or specific techniques used
- The length of the procedure
- The extent of fat removal or skin excision required
- Anesthesia and facility fee
- Your medical history
- Post-operative care
As each patient’s needs are unique, an in-person consultation with your surgeon is essential for a personalized, accurate cost estimate based on your treatment plan.
Does Insurance Cover Butt Reduction Surgery?
In most cases, a butt reduction surgery is considered an elective cosmetic procedure that is typically performed to improve appearance rather than to treat a medical condition. This means it is not covered by insurance, and you will be responsible for the full cost of the procedure.
However, there are specific situations where excess buttock skin or tissue is causing discomfort, skin irritation, or functional limitations. In such cases, if your healthcare professional documents the medical necessity, your insurance provider may provide partial or full coverage for the procedure, depending on your plan and its requirements.
At Millennial Plastic Surgery, we understand that the cost of a buttock reduction surgery in a single payment may be tough. We offer flexible payment plans and third-party financing options, making it easier to afford your procedure without added financial burden.
