A: Butt Lift / Lower Body Lift vs. Brazilian Butt Lift

After 100 lb. weight loss, a “butt” lift or lower body lift definitely seems like it would be the better procedure. In this case the buttocks not only has lost significant volume but there is probably quite a bit of sagging not only of the buttocks skin but also of the skin of the lateral and posterior thighs. A “butt” lift will improve all of these areas. An auto augmentation of the buttocks is often performed as part of the lower body lift and involves rotating flaps of fat to improve the shape and fullness of the buttocks. The Brazilian butt lift refers to performing liposuction of the hips or flanks and of the lateral thighs, and then transferring that fat to the buttocks for augmentation. This requires reasonably good skin tone in those areas treated with liposuction, in order to result in an acceptable contour. In your case, this procedure could result in worsening of the sagging of the skin of the lateral and posterior thighs, while improving the volume and shape of the buttocks. In your case, the best approach would most likely be to first perform the lower body lift. After that, if there could still be some benefit gained by sculpting the hips and outer thighs with liposuction and by transferring more fat to the buttocks to further enhance volume and shape, then that could be done either together, or more likely as a staged procedure.

A: "Butt Lift" or Lower Body Lift - Most Appropriate for Tightening Skin

A “butt” lift or lower body lift is usually the most appropriate procedure for tightening excess skin at the back of the leg and top of the thighs. This procedure lifts the lateral and posterior thighs as much as it lifts the buttocks. Medial thigh lift procedures lift the inner thighs. This procedure is done with incisions along the groin creases, and extending to the crease between the buttocks and the back of the thigh. Excess skin folds just below this crease may be best removed by extending the medial thigh incision and directly excising the excess skin, rather than pulling and lifting from above.

A: Buttock Auto-Augmentation The simple answer is that it's a more difficult and extensive procedure and that you need to make sure your surgeon is planning to perform it as part of you butt lift. Your description of it is perfect and though it goes by several different names, your surgeon should be able to describe it just as you did.
