Buttock lift
Correction of loose skin and sagging soft tissue around the buttocks.
A lift addresses excess and sagging tissue rather than simply adding volume. Incision placement and possible combination with other techniques should be discussed in advance.

What patients ask about
- Sagging after weight lossThe weight has stabilised but the skin has not tightened with the change in volume.
- Loose skin and foldsThe surgeon assesses the amount and quality of skin and the position of folds.
- Asymmetry or injuryEach side may need separate markings and a plan for volume correction.
What shapes the treatment plan
A lift does not treat muscle atrophy or guarantee an unchanged lifelong result. Major changes in weight can change the contour again.
If more volume is desired, implants or fat transfer are separate procedures with additional risks.
Skin removal and tissue lifting
Depending on the area of sagging, marking identifies excess tissue above the buttocks or along the crease beneath them. Excision planning considers the future scar and tension during movement. Adding volume with fat or implants is a separate decision.
After removing excess tissue, the surgeon raises sagging soft tissue and secures it with sutures. The operation repositions tissue; it does not treat gluteal muscle atrophy.
When surgery is postponed or the plan changes
The assessment covers clotting disorders, diabetes, cancer history, active chronic disease, infection or inflamed skin, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. An active problem at the planned incision must be treated first. Skin condition and previous scars affect the plan.
Bleeding, fluid collection, infection, healing problems, altered sensation, asymmetry, visible scars, and recurrent sagging are possible.
Scar care after a buttock lift
The team explains wound care, body position, and compression. Early bruising and swelling do not show the final contour.
Return to work, unrestricted sitting, and sport depends on the size of the lift; next-day recovery should not be promised.
Questions to discuss
Does a buttock lift add volume?
Its main goal is to raise tissue and remove excess skin. If more volume is also desired, implants or fat transfer are discussed as a separate part of the plan.
Where is a buttock-lift incision placed?
It may sit above the buttocks or along the crease beneath them. Its position depends on the location of sagging and the amount of tissue removed.
Can sagging return after a buttock lift?
Tissue changes over time. Major weight fluctuations and changes in skin elasticity can alter the contour, so an unchanged lifelong result cannot be guaranteed.
Price and consultation
The final cost depends on the agreed surgical plan.
The current price list has no separate amount for this procedure.
