Butt Lift

Butt Lift, also known as Gluteoplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to improve the shape, contour, and firmness of the buttocks. The procedure helps lift and tighten loose or sagging skin around the buttock area, creating a smoother and more attractive lower-body silhouette.

At Yanhee International Hospital, Butt Lift surgery focuses on removing excess skin and repositioning nearby tissues to create a fresher and more balanced body curve. This procedure is different from a Brazilian Butt Lift, which mainly adds volume using the patient’s own fat. A traditional butt lift is more focused on lifting, tightening, and reshaping sagging buttock tissue.

Treatment Approach

Butt Lift surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia, although the surgeon may recommend the most suitable anesthesia method based on the patient’s condition and treatment plan. During the procedure, the surgeon removes excess skin, repositions the remaining tissue, and closes the incisions with sutures. Surgical tape or tissue adhesive may be used to support the incision area.

Preparation Before Surgery

Before Butt Lift surgery, patients may be required to complete pre-operative laboratory tests to assess their health condition. The surgeon may also advise patients to stop or adjust certain medications, such as aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, and some natural supplements, before surgery. Smokers are required to stop smoking before the procedure to reduce surgical and wound-healing risks.

Recovery and Aftercare

After surgery, patients are monitored by the surgical team before returning to their hospital room. It is recommended that someone stay with the patient during the first 24 hours after surgery. Patients are generally advised to avoid sitting directly on the buttocks for about 1 week after surgery.

Most patients may return to work after approximately 2 weeks, as long as they avoid prolonged sitting. Strenuous exercise and rigorous activities should be avoided for at least 4–6 weeks. Patients should also avoid putting too much pressure on the surgical wounds during the recovery period.

Possible Risks

As with any surgery, Butt Lift surgery carries potential risks. These may include visible scarring, bleeding, hematoma, poor wound healing, wound separation, tissue damage, blood clots, anesthesia-related risks, deep vein thrombosis, swelling, fluid accumulation, persistent pain, changes in skin sensation, asymmetry, unsatisfactory results, recurrent sagging, or the need for revision surgery. Patients should contact their doctor immediately if they experience chest pain, shortness of breath, abnormal heartbeat, excessive bleeding, or unusual symptoms after surgery.

Complementary Procedures

Butt Lift surgery may sometimes be combined with other body contouring procedures to improve overall results. These may include tummy tuck, thigh lift, arm lift, breast lift, or liposuction, depending on the patient’s body shape, goals, and surgeon’s recommendation.
