Buttock lift

Maintaining a state of health as good as possible and a weight appropriate to your age and height will help with a quick recovery, without complications. If you smoke, quit smoking six weeks before the operation; this will help with healing and reduce the chances of complications.

You should not remove/shave hair from the vicinity of the areas where the cuts will be placed on the skin. Maintaining strict hygiene will help reduce the risk of infection.

A buttock lift surgery typically takes between 2 to 3 hours to complete, but may take longer depending on the extent of the surgical intervention. In most cases, the surgery is performed under general anesthesia and you will be able to return home within a few hours afterward. Our surgeons perform two types of procedures for buttock contouring:

Brazilian buttock lift method: Through this technique, our surgeons use your own fat to improve the shape of the buttocks. The operation begins with liposuction to remove fat that has accumulated in unwanted areas. The surgeon then processes and purifies this fat and injects it into the upper areas of the buttocks, as well as other locations that could enhance the shape. Creating an attractive contour requires the trained aesthetic sense of an experienced surgeon, and the result is a lifted, rounded appearance.

Traditional buttock lift method: The plastic surgeon makes several incisions around the area to be lifted. These are usually at the top of the buttocks at the belt line, along the lateral sides of the buttocks following their natural shape, and under the buttocks. Through these incisions, your plastic surgeon tightens and reshapes the loose skin and, in some cases, removes excess skin tissue and fat deposits, creating a finer and more contoured buttock shape.
Sometimes, buttock lift surgery is combined with other procedures that may include thigh lifting or abdominoplasty. The plastic surgeon will discuss these options with you during the consultation.

• Exposure to direct sunlight or in tanning salons. Exposure to the sun causes skin damage. Exposure of operated areas and suture lines can lead to poor healing and hypo or hyperpigmentation color changes. Patients who want to expose themselves to the sun to tan should inform their doctor and postpone this activity until it is risk-free. The harmful effects of sun exposure also occur when using sunscreens.
• Travel. Any surgical procedure involves possible risks and complications that can delay healing and return to normal life. Please notify the surgeon of travel plans, important meetings planned so that the planning of the operation can be done efficiently. However, there are no guarantees that you will be able to return to planned activities on time.
• Long-term results. Changes in the results of the surgical procedure may occur over time due to aging. sun exposure, weight loss or gain, pregnancy, menopause or other circumstances unrelated to the procedure itself.
  Information for female patients. It is important to inform the surgeon if you are using contraceptives or if you have the slightest suspicion that you may be pregnant. Many antibiotics can decrease the effectiveness of birth control pills.
• Intimate relations after the surgical procedure. Surgery involves the coagulation of blood vessels to stop bleeding and physical activity of any kind can cause the opening of vessels and bleeding and/or hematoma formation. Activities that increase pulse and heart rate can cause additional bruising and bruising, inflammation and the need to open the operation to control bleeding.

All patients heal at their own pace, so it is important to follow the specific instructions that your plastic surgeon provides after the surgical intervention. You will have several monitoring visits at our clinic during the recovery period.

THE FIRST FEW DAYS

After buttock lifting, mild to moderate pain may occur with a degree of discomfort that you can control with medications prescribed by your plastic surgeon. You will need to wear elastic garments as recommended by the surgeon to help the buttocks heal. Rest is very important, but at the same time, it will be necessary to start walking as soon as possible.

FIRST FEW WEEKS

Swelling and bruising will appear on and around the buttocks, which in most cases will disappear within 3 to 4 weeks. Most patients return to work within 2-3 weeks.
