Will Butt Lift Help with Loose Skin Due to Rapid Weight Loss?

Congratulations on your large weight loss!  With such a massive weight loss, the buttocks can look deflated and droop. If there is a great deal of skin laxity, a buttock lift which elevates and tightens the buttocks is the best option. The choice for placement of the incisions is either at the upper portion of the buttocks along the waist line or on the lower portion of the buttocks in the crease. I frequently combine the a buttock lift with fat transfer performed at the same time.

I would recommend a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.

Congratulations on the weight loss!  Unfortunately, you now have a problem we are seeing very commonly in patients that have lost a large amount of weight.  That is there is more skin than there is volume in the buttocks.  In your case, I would treat this by using buttocks implants to replace some of the volume in the buttocks so that you look great in your jeans again.  I would at the same time, recommend a lower buttocks lift to remove the extra skin that is hanging below the buttocks crease.  This combination can provide dramatic results and can be done in one surgery.  Best of luck in your journey!

You are a great candidate for a buttocks lift following your weight loss.  You will need skin removal with a waistline scar.

Hello

You have a moderate to severe deflation of your buttock in conjunction with excessive loose skin .

You should benefit from a buttock lift with incisions that may extend towards the front for a more smooth results 

In order to prevent or minimize any flattening of the buttock a gluteal muscle based dermal fat flap should be created for further projection.

You may also need some free fat transfer either primarily or as a second stage should you desire even further projection. 

Thank you

sagging of buttocks due to loss of buttock volume from weight loss can be corrected to some extend with buttock augmentation with fat grafting. In some cases the alternative is to do a body lift.
