Does an extended tummy tuck lift the buttocks significantly?

Hello. Great question. An extended tummy tuck will not lift the buttocks significantly. You might want to consider a buttock lift. Please schedule a follow up appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed surgical plan to achieve your desired results. 

A circumferential tummy tuck is very powerful to reshape your tummy and waist. It also tightens your UPPER buttocks. it doesn't generally help the bottom of your "bottom". If getting more bore lift in your buttock is a priority than I wold recommend adding a buttock lift. This adds a little more work for the surgeon but the scar and recovery is essentially the same. Good luck.

Great question!  An extended tummy tuck will probably not provide you with the buttock lift you desire.  This will require a body lift where the incisions go around the entire back.  This is also called a belt lipectomy if you perform the tummy tuck as well.  Only with the incision that croses the entire backside will there be any substantial lift to the buttocks.  Seek a few more consultations with board certified plastic surgeon for more options.Best of luck and hope this information helps!
