Restore Shape and Confidence

Aging, weight fluctuations, and genetics can all affect the contour of the buttocks, leading to sagging or loss of firmness. At PSG, our board-certified plastic surgeons perform buttock lift (gluteal lift) procedures to restore shape, lift, and proportion to the lower body. This advanced body contouring procedure removes excess skin, tightens underlying tissue, and repositions the remaining skin to create a smoother, more elevated appearance. The result is a natural, balanced contour that enhances both confidence and comfort.

What Is a Buttock Lift?

A buttock lift is a body contouring procedure designed to improve the tone and appearance of the buttocks by removing excess, sagging skin. Unlike fat transfer procedures such as a Brazilian Butt Lift, this surgery does not add volume but rather focuses on tightening and lifting existing tissue for a more youthful and defined profile.

Benefits of a Buttock Lift:

A buttock lift can improve both the appearance and comfort of the lower body by tightening loose skin and restoring a more youthful contour. Patients who undergo this procedure may experience several benefits, including:

  • Improved firmness and shape of the buttocks
  • Reduction of excess, loose skin caused by aging or weight loss
  • Enhanced body proportion and symmetry
  • Less chafing or irritation from skin folds
  • Greater comfort and confidence in clothing and swimwear

This procedure can also be combined with other body contouring surgeries, such as a thigh lift or tummy tuck, for more comprehensive results.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be a good candidate for a buttock lift if you:

  • Have sagging or loose skin in the buttocks or upper thigh area
  • Are at or near your ideal weight and can maintain it long-term
  • Are in good overall health and do not smoke
  • Have realistic expectations about your outcome
  • Wish to improve contour rather than increase volume

During your consultation, your surgeon will evaluate your anatomy, skin quality, and aesthetic goals to determine whether a buttock lift is the most appropriate option. In some cases, an alternative procedure such as fat transfer may better achieve the volume or contour you desire.

How the Procedure Works

A buttock lift is performed under general anaesthesia and usually takes two to three hours. Incisions are strategically placed to minimize visibility, typically along the lower back or in the crease between the buttocks.

Through these incisions, your surgeon removes excess skin and may use liposuction to refine the surrounding areas. The remaining skin is then lifted, tightened, and secured for a smoother, firmer appearance. Sutures are carefully placed to promote optimal healing and minimize scarring.

Recovery and Results

After your buttock lift, you will need to rest and limit movement to allow proper healing. Most patients can expect the following recovery milestones:

  • Return to light activities after 2–3 weeks
  • Avoid direct sitting for about 6 weeks
  • Resume normal exercise and full activity after 6–8 weeks

Mild swelling and bruising are normal and gradually resolve over several weeks. Compression garments are often recommended to support your new contours and aid in recovery.

Results are visible immediately after surgery and continue to refine as swelling decreases. With proper care and a stable weight, the results of a buttock lift are long-lasting and can greatly enhance your body’s proportions.

Possible Risks

As with any surgical procedure, a buttock lift carries certain risks. These may include:

  • Temporary swelling or bruising
  • Infection or delayed wound healing
  • Asymmetry or contour irregularities
  • Scarring, which typically fades with time

Our board-certified plastic surgeons take every precaution to ensure your comfort and safety, providing detailed aftercare instructions and close postoperative monitoring.

Frequently Asked Questions Buttock Lift

How Is a Buttock Lift Different from a Brazilian Butt Lift?

A buttock lift tightens and removes excess skin to improve contour, while a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) adds volume using fat transfer. Some patients may combine both procedures for optimal results.

Will I Have Noticeable Scars?

Incisions are strategically placed to be hidden along natural body lines, such as the lower back or buttock crease. Over time, scars fade and become less visible.

When Can I Sit After Surgery?

Patients are typically advised to avoid sitting directly on the buttocks for about six weeks. Specialized cushions can be used to relieve pressure during recovery.

Are the Results Permanent?

Yes. The results of a buttock lift are long-lasting as long as you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. Natural aging will continue, but with a significantly improved shape and firmness.

How Soon Can I See My Results?

You will notice an improvement immediately after surgery, with final results becoming more defined as swelling subsides over several months.
