Buttock Lift

Fashion trends in recent years have seen greater attention being given to areas of our bodies other than our faces. Buttocks begin to droop and change shape as we grow older and most women (and some men) have always been particularly conscious about the size and shape of their bottoms!

There are several different procedures that can be used to improve the buttock shape and appearance. The buttocks can be lifted and reshaped with liposuction, added to with implants or fat to achieve the recently desirable rounded Brazilian buttock, (sometimes also referred to as the Jennifer Lopez or J-Lo bottom); or a combination of any of the above can be used. A buttock lift is the most complicated procedure of those mentioned and is generally reserved for people who have large amounts of loose or sagging skin around the buttocks that needs to be removed in order to reshape the bottom.

The nature of this operation means long cuts need to be made in the skin and these will obviously leave long scars afterwards. The length of the scar will depend on how much excess skin is removed, and can usually be hidden by underwear.

Buttock lifts are usually performed under a general anaesthetic, although alternatives include an epidural (often used in childbirth) which will numb the area from the waist down, combined with a sedative to make you drowsy, so that you remain awake but feel very little discomfort. The operation usually takes 1-5 hours, depending on the extent of work required, (and if liposuction is performed at the same time), and you may be released to go home after a few hours, or stay in hospital for one or two days. Recovery generally takes one to two weeks, and most people usually return to work in a couple of weeks, and resume vigorous exercise or contact sports in approximately four to six weeks.

Private costs for a buttock lift can range from approximately £5,000-£6,500.

Please note that all clinics offering cosmetic surgery should be registered with the Healthcare Commission, as they need to follow certain standards for the safe provision of cosmetic surgery and receive regular inspections to ensure that National Minimum Standards are met.
