Buttock Lift (Brazilian Butt Lift)

The shape and appearance of the bottom can be improved with buttock lift surgery. Due to external factors such as aging, causing the skin to lose its elasticity, buttocks and lose their natural youthful appearance. A buttock lift can help to restore this. Those who have a naturally flat shaped bottom can use a buttock lift to add volume to the area.

A buttock lift requires minimal recovery time and can provide instant results giving patients a fuller, lifted buttock area that can be further contoured if desired. This procedure leaves a more natural appearance than when using buttocks implants.

Otherwise known as a ‘Brazilian butt lift’, a buttock lift uses the patients existing fat in order to shape the buttocks naturally. Liposuction is used to remove fat from other areas of the body. This can commonly include the thighs, hips and stomach areas. All fat that has been gathered is then transferred to the buttocks. To further refine and sculpt the area, additional liposuction can be performed.

Patients will be cared for in an outpatient department until a full recovery has been made. You may be require to wear specialist support garments underneath your clothing in order to aid recovery, but this is only for a short space of time.

Your surgeon will advise you on best practice for sitting and posture, following on from the surgery. A full recovery is expected in three to four weeks.

A ‘Brazilian butt lift’ can last for around 20 years. Although some fat will naturally become absorbed by the body, a large portion remains permanent. Factors such as ageing will cause the results to change slightly over time, and best results are seen when a healthy body is maintained. Dramatic weight losses or gains can change the shape of the buttock lift surgery as can smoking, as smokers are more likely to re-absorb natural fat.

Buttock lift surgery can cost from £4,000 - £6,500
