Question

I’ve lost over 100lbs on a body that has always been bottom heavy if I don’t want to lose my butt size and shape during lower body lift what could be done?

Congratulations on your 100-pound weight loss &mdash; that's a tremendous achievement, and your concern is one I hear often from patients who are naturally bottom-heavy. The good news is that a lower body lift can absolutely be designed to lift and tighten the loose skin around your hips, outer thighs, and buttocks while preserving &mdash; and in many cases enhancing &mdash; your buttock projection and shape.
The key is the technique. Rather than a standard lift that simply removes tissue and can flatten the buttocks, surgeons use what's called an auto-augmentation lower body lift: instead of discarding the excess tissue over the buttocks, we de-epithelialize it and tuck it underneath as a flap to add volume and projection where you want to keep your shape. In patients who need a bit more, this can be combined with fat grafting (a BBL component) using fat harvested from other areas during the same procedure. This way you get the tightening and lift from the body lift while maintaining your natural curves.
Because the right plan depends on your skin laxity, tissue quality, and where your remaining fat is distributed, this is best assessed in person with an examination. I'd be glad to map out an approach that lifts you without sacrificing the shape you love.

Congratulations on your massive weight loss. To address the significant skin laxity without losing volume, a surgical lower body lift with gluteal auto-augmentation is ideal. Instead of discarding the loose tissue, we rearrange and flap your own excess fat to reshape and project the buttocks, providing a natural lift.
