Butt Lift in New Orleans, LA

After weight loss surgery can target any part of the body where extreme skin sag is present. This is a symptom of a major weight loss and can often affect the butt by creating loose, wrinkled skin that resides under the butt cheeks. Individuals desiring a tighter buttocks may consider a surgical butt lift to achieve these results. Our Metairie plastic surgeons offer butt lift surgery to remove excess skin and create a tighter appearance that aging and weight loss has negatively impacted. Another body contouring surgery that is sometimes confused with a skin removal butt lift, is the Brazilian butt lift, which fills the buttock with fat that is transferred from another part of the body. A Brazilian butt lift does not “lift” the butt. Rather, it creates a fuller, rounder appearance without incorporating a lift or skin removal technique.

During a traditional butt lift procedure, incisions will be made under the butt cheeks along the natural fold where the butt meets the upper thighs. Any hanging, loose skin will be trimmed away and the remaining skin and underlying tissue will be pulled tight to a new position. The incisions are closed with sutures. Once the incisions heal, the scars left behind will be somewhat inconspicuous because of where they reside. It is important to note that liposuction is sometimes a part of this procedure if excess fat is also a concern.
 

Butt lift surgery is an outpatient procedure that is performed under general anesthesia at an accredited surgical facility. The entire surgery typically takes about 2 hours to complete. Swelling and bruising will be evident for the first several months, but once this subsides patients are usually able to see the surgical results. It could take from 6 months up to a full year for the final results to take shape. 

For patients who have hanging and loose skin or wrinkles under the buttocks, a butt lift will be necessary. Liposuction is a fat removal procedure. If the skin tone and laxity around the buttocks is healthy, and excess fat is the problem, liposuction may be recommended.  

Butt augmentation surgery using implants is yet another option to consider. This procedure provides extra height and volume, but uses a silicone butt implant to achieve these results. Between butt implants, the Brazilian butt lift using a fat transfer, and a traditional butt lift, patients have many alternatives to choose from in order to meet their aesthetic goals.  It is important to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each technique with us so that the desired results can be attained safely.

Weight gain could compromise your new, enhanced figure. For the best long-term results, patients should maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine.

Scarring is a part of this procedure. However, an experienced cosmetic surgeon will work to minimize the scarring as much as possible. During surgery, the incisions are usually placed within the natural folds on the underside of the buttocks, which helps keep them inconspicuous. For the most part, the scars from this procedure will be easily concealed with undergarments or a bathing suit.
