Does Butt Lift with Thread Really Work and Does It Last?

Simply put, No!  The buttock is too large and strong of a muscle to be supported by a "thread".  Buttock augmentation by either fat transfer or even more so implants typically gives an added lift to the buttock as well.  Because very few surgeons are experienced in buttock implants it is always prudent to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon that specializes in this procedure.  Best of luck...RAS

Thank you for your question. No, and no. The same reasons the thread lift to the face is not in Vogue, is the same reasons I would not ever recommend doing a butt lift.  I hope this helps!

Thread lifts using barbed sutures don't have lasting results on your facial cheeks that are lighter so they definitely are not going to work on your buttock cheeks that are heavier and will result in pull through or cheese-wire effect. Stay away from non board certified plastic surgeons (I doubt that such a technique would be recommended by one)

I do not know of any published study in the USA study using threads to lift the buttock. I met a patient that had this procedure done to her in Columbia and the results were not impressive. She was complaining of chronic pain and was concerned about the long-term effect of the threads. What I could determine based on a physical exam was that there was no increase in volume from the procedure. The butt sags relatively early since she had such procedure done three years before.


Some doctors in other countries claim that this works. What I could see was that the shape of this patient’s bottom was distorted.  There were some areas with projection while others were indented. I have never done nor will attempt to do this procedure in buttock surgery. My experiences with facial threads have also been disappointing.


A butt lift is more than just lifting the buttock. It really is a total body transformation with improved proportions. The best option is the fat transfer to the buttock.
 

The simple answer is "NO". Just a marketing ploy. Save your money. Other methods that really do work include fat grafting (aka Brazilian Buttlift), buttock flaps which are performed at the same time as a lower body lift, and butt implants.
