Butt Lift San Antonio

About the Procedure

Butt lift surgery is customized to meet each patient's unique aesthetic goals. It can include fat transfer, liposuction, or the surgical removal of excess skin after weight loss. Dr. Barone will help you design a butt lift plan that will give you the shape you desire.

If you want to receive fat cell injections as a part of your butt lift, Dr. Barone will first harvest these tissues using Tickle Lipo. This variation on liposuction protects the fat cells while they are removed so they can be injected elsewhere. In addition to adding volume to your butt, Tickle Lipo can contour other areas of your body where you have excess fat deposits.

Butt lift surgery may involve the surgical removal of excess skin and fat from your buttocks. This process creates a more youthful, lifted look. Dr. Barone may also use liposuction on the buttocks to create extra definition and beautifully curvy contours.

Many of our patients choose to have butt lift surgery in conjunction with abdominoplasty, thighplasty or other body contouring treatments. Combining these treatments can create a comprehensive effect with noticeable and natural-looking  results. Like many of her other body contouring procedures, Dr. Barone can perform your butt lift surgery as an "awake" procedure, meaning you will receive a local anesthetic and remain conscious during surgery.

The Recovery Period

After any liposuction, fat injections, and excess skin removal, Dr. Barone will suture closed your incisions and cover them with bandages. You will wear specialized compression garments and may receive drainage tubes to allow any excess fluids to leave your body. As recovery begins, you will be instructed to lie down on your stomach for several days and avoid putting any weight on your buttocks. Dr. Barone can prescribe pain medication for any discomfort you experience while you heal. Recovery from butt lift surgery takes approximately three weeks. Dr. Barone will remove your stitches and drainage tubes during a follow-up appointment and ensure that all of your incisions are healing properly.

Candidates for Butt Lifts

Butt lifts allow you to improve the contour and fullness of your posterior, counteracting the drooping and flattening that occurs with aging and weight loss.  You may be an excellent candidate for butt lift surgery if:

• Your posterior is not as full or shapely as it once was.
• You have a flat butt and desire a rounder, more lifted shape.
• Natural aging and gravity have resulted in sagging skin or uneven fat deposits on your butt.
• You have lost a substantial amount of weight, resulting in excess skin across your body and buttocks.
• You exercise and follow a healthy diet, but your efforts do not seem to affect your buttocks.
• You plan to undergo an abdominoplasty and thighplasty and would like a more athletic appearance throughout your entire lower body.
• You are in good general health and have no medical conditions preventing you from undergoing surgery.
