Buttock Augmentation (Lift)

There are several methods of buttock augmentation:

The buttocks can be augmented with the use of implants that are preferably located underneath the gluteus maximus muscle. Augmentation can also be done by the removal of a large flap of skin above the region where the buttock meets the back of the thigh whereas the scar placement will be in the buttock crease. Buttocks augmentation can also be done by fat grafting where a patient’s own fat will be extracted from other body regions and inserted into the layers of the buttocks through a small incision.

Although this is an elegant method, the amount of fat will have to be carefully determined by the surgeon in order to avoid complications such as clotting.

In cases of extremely loose, hanging skin all over the mid-body region a surgical process, the so-called body lift will be performed, which usually takes place over several visits to our surgical facility as the surgeon addresses each area of the body that has excess sagging skin. The side effects will be visible scars extending like a belt around the body areas.
