Buttock Lift

Buttock Lift surgery differs from button implant surgery in that a lift is used to correct flabby, sagging or dimpled skin in the buttock or thigh area, and not necessarily to augment the size of the buttock.

Buttock lift plastic surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia. There are a several procedural options. Dr. Serebrakian will review the most optimally suited procedure for your desired result.

Following buttock lift surgery, you will need to wear an elastic compression garment to assist in the natural tightening and shrinking of the skin and to reduce swelling. With less extensive buttock lifts, initial discomfort is typically controlled with oral medication prescribed by Dr. Serebrakian. With more extensive buttock lifts, one or two nights care in a hospital or skilled nursing facility are typically recommended. This allows for intravenous catheters, pain injections, and close monitoring of the recovery process. Swelling and bruising typically subside within a month, strenuous exercise is typically possible in about six weeks, and full recovery is normally complete within four to six months.
