Buttock Lift - New Method? (photo)

This one site says “with special silicone grids and with only a small horizontal incision of 5 cm in the waist can the buttocks be uplifted (..).

New BL Technique

I have no experience with silicone grids for buttock lifts. I will say that I avoid the use of foreign objects in this area as they are prone to displacement/infection/high rates of revision surgery. There are more well described methods that are "tried, tested, and true". Be careful of novel techniques that aren't widely used/accepted. Best, Asif Pirani, MD, FRCS(C)
