What is a Butt Lift (Buttock Lift)?
A buttock lift is a surgical procedure used to restore the appearance of the buttocks by removing excess skin and fat. Once the excess fat is removed and the excess skin is excised, the remaining skin is then redraped to elevate and reshape the buttocks into a more youthful and perky appearance.
A buttock lift does not increase the size of the buttocks; instead, it reshapes them to restore the original proportions of the buttocks. In many cases, a buttock lift can be combined with buttock augmentation methods such as fat grafting to further enhance the volume and contour of the buttocks.
Many patients undergo a buttock lift as part of a larger body contouring operation. For example, a buttock lift can be performed in conjunction with an abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck), thigh lifts,and/or lower extremity lifts.
The primary purpose of a buttock lift is to correct uneven contours of the body and to smooth out the entire lower half of the body.
Benefits of Butt Lift Surgery
There are many physical and aesthetic advantages associated with undergoing a buttock lift. Many of these advantages are especially prevalent among individuals with loose or hanging skin around the buttocks.
Advantages include:
- Firmer and more contoured appearance of the buttocks
- Reduces hanging skin resulting from large amounts of weight lost
- Eliminates sags and folds in the buttocks
- Smooths out the skin and gives it a more even look
- Gives patients a permanent structural advantage in terms of their body shape.
Overall, a buttock lift is intended to help improve body shape. In addition, at Skin111, we want to make sure that every patient leaves feeling confident about how they look.
Procedure Steps: What to Expect During Butt Lift Surgery
Every buttock lift involves a series of steps. These steps involve careful planning so that your surgery is completed safely and consistently.
Pre-Surgery
Your first step is scheduling an initial consultation. During this consultation, your doctor will:
- Review your medical history
- Evaluate your current skin condition and body structure
- Discuss your desires and expectations
- Develop your personalized treatment plan
You may also need to have some routine blood tests before surgery, depending on your age, medications, etc.
Surgery Day
The actual surgery takes place while you're under general anesthesia. Under anesthesia, you'll feel no pain during your surgery.
During the surgery, the surgeon:
- Makes an incision down near the bottom of your back
- Removes excessive skin and fatty tissues
- Redrapes the remaining skin upwards to give your buttocks a higher appearance
On average, a single surgery session lasts anywhere from 2-3 hours, depending on what additional treatments you decide to combine with your buttock lift.
Post-Surgical RecoveryFollowing surgery, you'll have bandages covering your treated area(s). You might also have drainage tubes inserted into those same areas. Your doctor will instruct you on gentle movements shortly after surgery.
Recovery entails wearing a supportive garment to protect the treated area. You will likely experience some soreness; however, it should not be too severe. Follow-up appointments are scheduled to check on your healing process. If necessary, your doctor can modify your recovery protocol.
At Skin111, we believe strongly in providing comprehensive post-surgical care for all of our patients. Our doctors continuously monitor your healing progress and will provide modifications to your recovery process as needed. This will allow for faster responses to any complications that may arise and help to achieve better and more consistent results.
Butt Lift vs Fat Transfer (BBL) - What's the Difference?
As previously mentioned, there are two very distinct types of buttock shaping surgeries. There is buttock lift surgery, which removes excess skin. Then there is fat transfer (also commonly referred to as Brazilian Butt Lift [BBL]), which adds volume to the buttocks using fat taken from another area of your body.
- Removes excess skin
- Lifts and re-contours the buttocks
- Improves firmness
- Does not add volume
- Uses fat from other parts of your body
- Adds volume to the buttocks
- Enhances size and shape
In some cases, patients may find that combining both surgeries would produce optimal results. However, this ultimately depends on multiple factors, including your body type, skin quality, and personal preferences.
At Skin111, our doctors evaluate each case individually to identify the safest and best approach for each patient.
Who is a Good Candidate for Butt Lift?
Generally speaking, any person who possesses a stable level of physical characteristics that result from losing massive amounts of weight or having significant sagging skin around the buttocks is a potential candidate for undergoing a buttock lift. Candidates should also be healthy.
Typical characteristics of potential candidates for a butt lift include those with
- Loose or sagging skin in the buttocks
- A significant amount of weight lost in recent years
- A relatively stable weight
- Excellent overall health
- Realistic expectations
Any person who meets any of these criteria is probably not eligible for this surgery:
- Individuals with plans to lose/gain substantial amounts of weight
- Patients suffering from uncontrolled or serious medical conditions
- Smoking or smoking-related issues
- Any person with an unstable health condition
Prior to recommending surgery, our doctors at Skin111 thoroughly examine each patient's eligibility for surgery and assess whether or not the recommended course of action is beneficial for that particular patient.

Butt Lift (Buttock Lift) FAQs:
Is butt lift surgery safe?
Butt lifts are generally considered to be safe if they’re performed in an appropriate medical environment. However, just like with any form of surgical procedure, you should expect some level of risk. In addition, risks can be minimized by providing preoperative evaluation and post operative care. At Skin111, all safety measures are carried out according to both FDA & DHA-approved guidelines. Each doctor will evaluate your individual situation prior to performing any operation.
How long does recovery take?
The recovery time frame can vary depending upon the individual; however, in general terms, you can expect a couple of weeks for initial recovery and a number of months (at least) until full recovery has been achieved. To ensure proper healing and to minimize potential complications, patients are instructed to strictly adhere to their post-operative instructions. At Skin111, we will help guide you through the recovery process with scheduled follow-up appointments.
Will there be scars after a surgical butt lift?
There will certainly be scarring after surgery. The incision sites are typically made in areas where the resulting scarring is less visible. Scars will generally appear better with time, and adherence to proper post-surgical care will aid in achieving optimal results.
How long do results last?
When patients keep their weight stable, the results of a butt lift can last for many years. Over time, changes in your weight and age may alter the results of your butt lift surgery. As such, regular follow-ups and maintaining a healthy lifestyle will best support your longevity of results.
Can a butt lift be combined with liposuction?
Yes, and in many cases, butt lift is combined with liposuction. This enhances better and more apparent body contouring results.
