Is A Lot of Natural Tissue in the Butt Removed During Lift?

I'm 47 years old and I don't like what gravity & time have done to my butt.I would like to get it lifted but I don't have much fat to work with for augmentation. I have a BMI of 19.4. Can just the existing fat in the butt be used, but only lifted back into place? I know in a breast lift much of the sagging natural tissue is removed so an augmentation is often needed, is it the same with the butt?

A: Buttock lift

Good question...the famous Brazilian Butt Lift typically uses the fat harvested from other areas of your body through liposuction and transfers it to your Buttock area in order to lift and shape the buttock. Liposuction in the hip and flank area sculpts the upper portion of the buttock/lower back which accentuates the hour-glassing effect.

If the buttock is saggy and there is drooping tissues, I typically do a buttock lift and rotate the extra skin and soft tissue (not muscle) into place along the upper buttock....rotating into position acts like a butt implant/augmentation. Best part is that it is you OWN tissue and not a silicone implant. Work well, but depends on the amount of skin and extra tissue you have to use.

Hope this helps!

Options for Correcting Sagging Buttocks?

I'm a fairly small-sized woman, but my butt cheeks are saggy. Also, there is a sort of groove or indent on each cheek where the skin is also very dry. Is this from wearing underwear? What can be done to correct these problems?

A: Fixing saggy butt cheeks

It's difficult to know what procedure might work best for you without seeing photos.  But there certainly are options for you.  Sometimes a lower body lift is done to remove loose skin from the lower back and upper buttocks and lift the buttocks.  If you need more volume, fat grafting (brazilian buttlift) can be done to further lift and enhance the shape.  Also, if you opt for the lower body lift, we can use some of the tissue from the lower back and rotate it into the buttock to give it more shape and lift (an "autologous augmentation").  See a surgeon who is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (NOT a "cosmetic surgeon", as they often are not surgeons at all and aren't fully trained in plastic surgery).

Two Compression Garments After Liposuction and Butt Lift?

Since I had butt lift and liposuction in my inner thigh and waist, do I need to wear two different types of garmets? One for my butt and one for the thighs and waist?

A: Compression garments for combined procedures

In my practice, you would have just one garment for a butt lift and liposuction of the inner thighs and waist.  It would be a compression "girdle" that extends from just below the bra to just above the knee.
