Buttock Lift London

If you are interested in having a buttock lift procedure, the first step is to have an initial consultation and assessment. During this appointment you will be able to discuss the details of your aesthetic goals. After assessing your target areas, your clinician will be able to recommend the best procedure(s) and form an individual treatment plan tailored to you. Sometimes buttock lifts can be performed in conjunction with other body contouring procedures such as lateral body lift, thigh lift or tummy tucks. You will also undergo a thorough pre-operative assessment to ensure that it is safe for you to have a general anaesthetic. This usually involves a general physical examination, medication review and some basic medical investigations.

Prior to the operation, the surgeon will meticulously mark the incision lines on the skin to ensure that tissue is removed in a symmetrical fashion. The surgery itself is typically done through an incision at the top of the buttock area, over the lower back from hip to hip. If tissue is being removed from underneath the buttocks, then this is where the initial incision will be placed. Once the incision is made, excess skin and fat tissues can then be removed. The remaining skin and tissues are usually pulled upwards and redraped to create a more rounded shape to the bottom. At this stage, your surgeon may also use liposuction techniques to further sculpt the area. The skin is then closed using appropriate suturing techniques.

Following your buttock lift surgery, it is important to avoid putting any additional stress on the surgical wound. Most people will be able to return to work after 2 weeks (depending on the nature of their work) and perform more exertional activities after 6-8 weeks. During this recovery time, it is recommended to wear appropriate compression garments to reduce the risk of swelling and promote good healing of the surgical wound. If you are prone to unfavourable scarring, your surgeon may recommend additional adjuncts such as silicone plasters, steroid tapes or lasers during the post-operative phase to encourage good quality scar formation.
