At BEAUTY By BUFORD, Denver plastic surgeon Gregory A. Buford, MD, FACS, PCEO, can give you a buttock lift surgery to reshape your buttocks and hips to give you a look you’ll love. The buttocks are some of the most prominent features of our body and have gotten much attention with recent advancements in surgical technology and techniques.
A buttock lift is a surgical procedure that involves removing excess skin and fat from the buttocks to lift and reshape them. At BEAUTY By BUFORD, you can have a buttock lift alone or in combination with other procedures such as liposuction, thigh lift, or tummy tuck. A buttock lift aims to give your behind a more toned and contoured appearance to improve the overall balance and proportion of the body.
During a buttock lift, Dr. Buford will make an incision in the buttock crease to minimize the appearance of any scar. The surgeon will then remove excess skin and fat from the buttocks, reshape the remaining tissue, and lift the buttocks to a more perky position.
The incision will be closed with sutures, and you'll wear a compression garment to support the area during the healing process. The procedure typically takes two to three hours and is performed under general anesthesia. You should arrange for a responsible adult to drive you home and stay with you for 24 hours after the procedure.
After a buttock lift, you should expect some swelling, bruising, discomfort, and pain. We'll prescribe pain medication to help manage any discomfort. You should avoid sitting or lying on your back for the first two weeks after the procedure to ensure proper healing.
Most patients can return to work and light activities within two to three weeks after the procedure. Strenuous exercise and other activities that put pressure on the buttocks should be avoided for six to eight weeks after the procedure to ensure proper healing.
As with any surgical procedure, a buttock lift has potential risks and complications. These can include bleeding, infection, scarring, and changes in sensation. It's important to discuss these risks with Dr. Buford and follow all pre-and post-operative instructions to minimize the risk of complications.
Candidates for a buttock lift should be in good overall health, have excess skin and fat on the buttocks, and maintain realistic expectations. You should also be at your ideal weight before having a buttock lift, as weight fluctuations can affect your results. It's important to note that a buttock lift is not a weight-loss procedure and is not a substitute for a healthy diet and regular exercise. You should maintain a healthy lifestyle after the procedure to ensure long-lasting results.

A butt lift, formally known as a gluteal lift, is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed at improving the appearance of the buttocks. It involves removing excess skin and fat and reshaping the buttocks area to create a more toned and lifted appearance. This procedure is often sought after significant weight loss, aging, or to improve shape and volume.
A butt lift primarily focuses on removing excess skin and fat to lift and tighten the buttocks, without significantly altering the size. A Brazilian butt lift (BBL), on the other hand, involves fat transfer to increase the size and improve the shape of the buttocks, offering both lift and volume enhancement.
Ideal candidates are individuals who are at or near their ideal body weight, with excess skin and sagging in the buttocks area due to aging, weight fluctuations, or genetic factors. Candidates should be in good overall health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about the surgery's outcomes.
Recovery from a butt lift varies among individuals, but generally includes several weeks of reduced activity. Swelling, bruising, and discomfort can be expected but are manageable with prescribed pain medication. Most patients can return to light activities within 2-4 weeks, but strenuous activities and heavy lifting should be avoided for up to 6 weeks or as advised by the surgeon.
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks, including infection, bleeding, scarring, and complications related to anesthesia. Specific risks to butt lift surgery may include asymmetry, changes in skin sensation, and dissatisfaction with aesthetic results. Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon can help minimize these risks.
Yes, scars are an inevitable outcome of butt lift surgery due to the incisions required. However, skilled surgeons typically place incisions strategically to minimize visible scarring, and with proper care, scars can fade significantly over time.
The results of a butt lift can be long-lasting, especially when patients maintain a stable weight and follow a healthy lifestyle. However, natural aging and gravity will eventually affect the appearance of the buttocks over time.
Yes, a butt lift is often combined with other body contouring procedures, such as liposuction, tummy tuck, or thigh lift, to achieve more comprehensive body reshaping results. Combining procedures should be discussed with your surgeon to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Preparation for a butt lift may include undergoing medical evaluations, adjusting current medications, avoiding smoking, and arranging for post-surgery care and transportation. Your surgeon will provide detailed instructions tailored to your specific needs.
