Buttock Lift or Gluteal Lift – Excisional Surgery plus Fat Transfer, Raleigh, NC
A Brazilian Butt Lift improves projection of the buttock and reshapes the buttock through fat grafting. The lifting effect is purely via volume addition to the buttock. In patients with sagging tissues (AKA buttock ptosis), fat transfer alone may not be effective. A formal buttock lift (also called gluteal lift) involves surgical excisional of loose skin of the upper buttock/ lower back with resulting elevation of the buttocks skin. This often is included as part of a circumferential abdominoplasty, but it can also be done by itself to improve buttock appearance. In many cases, adding additional fat can help the result. In some cases, a technique called auto augmentation utilizes excess skin and fat from the upper buttock to augment the lower buttock. This 56-year-old woman had previous abdominoplasty at another facility but had complications where her lower abdominal wound was left open and took months to heal. She was not happy with that experience, so she sought Dr. Lyle’s assistance in improving her buttock shape and also improving her medial thigh where she had over resection of liposuction. She did have sagging of the buttock tissues, so Dr. Lyle performed a formal buttock lift as well as fat transfer and liposuction of the back and flank. Even with just 240 cc per side she had very nice improvement with the lifting effect as well as the fat transfer. He also did a medial thigh lift which improved the appearance of her upper thigh.
Dr. Lyle offers Lower Body Lift surgery to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs, enhancing overall body contours after weight loss. This procedure tightens and reshapes the lower body for a more defined look.
