The Buttock Lift can be performed as a solo procedure or as part of the total body lift. The procedure improves the contour of the buttock and makes it ‘perkier’. The Buttock Lift usually is achieved by the following methods:

• Removing excess skin and tightening the skin above the upper part of the buttocks.
• The Buttocks can also be lifted with implants or
• Fillers (e.g. yalouronic acid injections) or
• Fat injections. The fat injection procedure is also referred to as the Brazilian Buttock Lift.

If the buttocks are very large, the patient may first benefit instead from Liposuction to reduce the overall size of the buttock. If, on the contrary, you want larger buttocks with more projection, you might be better served with a buttock implant or fat injection to the buttocks. Implants or fat injections will fill out the buttock and lift the buttocks. Fat injections to the buttock are also known as the Brazilian Buttock Lift. However, if your buttocks are sagging, the butt is lifted by removing tissue and tightening skin. If the sag is minimal, a ‘butt wedge’ excision might be indicated. The tissue is excised at the buttock crease. This buttock lift technique cuts out tissue at the junction of lower back and buttock. This allows for a true elevation of the buttock tissues and a reshaping of the entire buttock. In combination with a Liposuction of the hips or thighs it can result in a dramatic reshaping of the entire backside. The butt lift can be done under ‘twilight’ anesthesia or general anesthesia. Dr. Zavrides is very careful to hide the scar so that it is hidden even with a bikini bathing suit. The buttock lift is easily tolerated as an outpatient procedure. The patient is advised not to sit for one week so as not to stress the operated area. You may return to work in 2 weeks if you do not do a lot of extensive sitting.
