Buttock lift

Sometimes the body becomes a victim of its own success. Significant weight loss can dramatically improve your appearance, but it can also reveal excess skin and sometimes sagging tissue. When aging or weight loss causes excess skin to appear in the buttocks area, it can take on a flat, sagging appearance, or even cause the buttocks tissue to accumulate just above the crease, instead of over the main part of the buttocks where it should naturally be.

A buttock lift is a procedure that removes excess skin from the upper buttocks and lower back, with the effect of lifting the buttock tissue to its former level. The sagging tissue is lifted and the excess is removed, making the flat buttocks more rounded. In addition, the aesthetic transition between the buttocks and thighs can be significantly improved.

During your consultation, Dr. Bagatin will collect your complete medical records. You should inform him of any previous procedures you have undergone, as well as any past or current health problems. You should discuss with your surgeon why you want this procedure and what your desired results are. You will also receive specific instructions regarding the date of the procedure, recovery, and follow-up.

Two days before the procedure, you should wash your body with antibacterial soap for 15 minutes twice a day and once before the procedure. You should also avoid applying skin care products during this period. You should not eat or drink anything for 8 hours before the procedure, and in the morning you will be allowed to take your prescribed medication with water, which you must not stop taking, and brush your teeth. It is recommended to wear loose clothing on the day of the procedure, especially sweatpants, to make it easier to get dressed, as you will be wearing a compression garment after the procedure. Leave all jewelry at home and do not take any valuables with you.

It is important that you are open and honest during your consultation, especially when it comes to providing detailed information about your health, including a list of all medications you are taking or have taken, as well as vitamins and herbs you are taking. Your behavior can significantly contribute to a faster and better recovery.

When we talk about surgical buttock lifting, not all plastic surgeons use the same method. The method that will be applied to you depends on the amount of excess skin and fat that needs to be removed, the laxity of the tissue, as well as your overall health condition. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, which means you are asleep during the procedure. You can find out more about the anesthesiology examination at our Polyclinic and the differences between general and local anesthesia here .

Likewise, Dr. Bagatin will assess whether a full buttock lift is needed, in which case an incision will need to be made in the groin as well as the hips. This will also lift the inner thighs. Generally, the incision is made from the back from one hip to the other at the initial height of the gluteal regions. After the incision or incisions, excess skin and fat deposits are removed. The skin is then pulled towards the waist and sewn up, while a drain is placed under the skin to remove excess fluid and prevent its accumulation. After the procedure, the patient is placed in a compression garment, which fits tightly against the skin to reduce swelling and to help with the natural firming of the skin and tissue.

Bruising, swelling, and pain are expected after the procedure. Loss of sensation in the treated areas is also common, but sensation will begin to return soon. Swelling may last for several months. Although pain medication is prescribed to avoid discomfort for patients, be sure to contact us if you begin to experience significant pain or notice any other changes.

After buttock augmentation surgery, each patient has a different experience with the recovery period, but the day after the procedure you should be able to get up normally and walk without any problems, and after 2-3 days the drain will be removed from the wound. To eliminate direct pressure on the buttocks, you should sleep on your chest or side, and when sitting, you should shift your weight to your thighs. You can shower on the second or third day after the procedure, while you should wait at least a week after the procedure to resume daily activities. The areas affected by the procedure will be very sensitive, so you should avoid strenuous physical activity for 4-6 weeks. You will need to wear a compression garment for a month 24 hours a day and another month at night. It will help the treated areas to recover properly in accordance with the new shape of your buttocks.

Before undergoing any procedure, it is wise to familiarize yourself with the potential risks and side effects. Every procedure carries the potential for complications. Some of the difficulties that can occur with a buttock lift include a bad reaction to anesthesia, which can lead to side effects such as: vomiting, dizziness, weakness, bleeding, infection, nerve damage, and asymmetry.

Secondary correction can also be done if you are not satisfied with the results. The possibility of complications can be reduced by carefully following the doctor’s instructions. If you follow the instructions, you will reduce the possibility of occurrence
