Can I Get a Lower Body Lift Without a Tummy & Thigh Tuck?

    If you skin and anatomy is exactly like the picture you presented then I would say that the Brazilian buttlift would give you a very good result without the posterior scar.  I perform both but I think given the lack of massive posterior skin laxity, a Brazilian buttlift would produce less scarring and more fullness to the buttocks.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Hello and thanks for your post. The bodylift will go all the way around and includes three components: a tummy tuck, an outer thigh lift, and a buttock lift. It sounds like you just want the buttock lift and that is offered by many surgeons. Talk to a local  board certified plastic surgeon with experience in that operation for best results. Best wishes, Dr. Aldo.

Thank you for your question and photo.  It is possible to get a buttock lift without the front part of a body lift.  This would lift the buttock and the lateral thigs.  Unfortunately, it will make the buttocks flatter as a side effect.  This can be a major problem for some weight loss patients.  Combinining the buttock lift with autologous gluteal augmenation can address this problem.  Instead of discarding the back tissue removed during the lift, it can be shaped to restore volume to the buttocks counteracting the flattening effect of the buttocks lift.  It is a very effective procedure.  This procedure is different from a BBL which is just fat injections and would not be indicated in your situation. Seek consulation from a body contouring surgeon with significant experience with this technique and body contourin after weight loss.
