Will a Body and Buttock Lift Help with the Appearance of Cellulite on Buttocks and Thighs?

I am 47 and have lost around 70 lbs. Due to age and weight I have loose skin on tummy, thighs and arms. I would like to know if having a Total body lift and buttock augmentation will help with the appearance of cellulite on my thighs and buttocks.

Cellulite and buttock lifts

Buttock lifts do not really have a big impact on cellulite. It will elevate the soft tissues and loose skin.

Butt lift

A buttock lift will raise the buttocks from the drooping. Cellulite will not be improved by any current means. They are two separate issues.

Body lift

It sounds that you are a candidate for lower body and possibly upper body lift. With lower body lift do not expect a major change in the cellulite. There is no good treatment for cellulite. However the lift, when done properly will give you a great result to the body and the buttocks.

Cellulite can be challenging

There are normal separations between pockets of fat in the thigh and buttocks that keep the fat from bunching up when you stand. Everyone has some cellulite and this is typically genetic (thanks Mom and Dad). Some surgical procedures can improve Cellulite to a degree, but invariably, there is usually some left afterward. Based on your description, I agree that a procedure that excises excess skin is a much better idea than a liposuction procedure... more

Body Lift & Butock Aug will Help Lateral Thighs and Buttock

A body lift with buttock augmentation is very effective for correcting excess loose and dimpled skin of the buttock, posterior thigh, lateral thigh and abdomen. How much correction is achieved depends on how much laxity exists and some technical details.
