A buttock lift is a surgical procedure that can reposition and lift the buttocks. This procedure does not add volume or increase the size of the buttocks but instead raises it. During the surgery, excess skin and fat are removed from the area, and the remaining skin is repositioned to create a more lifted appearance.
The primary benefit of a buttock lift is a more lifted and toned backside. While this procedure is not designed to add volume, lifting the buttocks can create a substantial impact on your appearance. This can help you appear more youthful, fit, and toned.

A buttock lift is performed using general anesthesia. This allows you to remain relaxed and pain-free during the surgery. Dr. Lee will create an incision along the buttocks to access the underlying tissue. The exact size and placement of the incision will depend on your anatomy and goals for the procedure. Incision placement will be discussed with Dr. Lee during your pre-surgery appointment.
Dr. Lee will remove excess skin and fat from the area through the incision. He may reposition some underlying tissue to ensure a natural shape. Once this is complete, the areas will be lifted and held in place. After this, the incisions will be closed, and the area will be wrapped in bandages.
After the procedure is complete, you will be able to recover at home. It is important to limit physical activity and rest as much as possible during this time. Dr. Lee will provide you with a complete guide to your recovery, including how to care for your incisions and future scars.
Most patients require at least one week off from work and return to more strenuous activities after three to four weeks. You may also need to limit the amount of time you spend sitting or laying down to help your buttock recover.
