Welcome to the practice of Dr. Saad Alsubaie, your trusted double board-certified plastic surgeon. We understand that considering a buttock lift is a significant decision aimed at enhancing the shape, size, and contour of your buttocks to achieve a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing appearance. We are here to provide you with detailed information about the procedure to help you make an informed choice and achieve your desired results.
What is a Buttock Lift?
A buttock lift is a surgical procedure designed to improve the contour and shape of the buttocks by removing excess skin and, in some cases, repositioning or tightening the underlying tissues. This procedure is ideal for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, aging, or have concerns about sagging or flattened buttocks that do not respond to non-surgical methods. The buttock lift enhances the overall appearance of the buttocks, contributing to a more balanced and youthful body profile.
Benefits of a Buttock Lift
- Improved Buttock Contour: Removes excess skin and tightens tissues to create a firmer, more contoured appearance.
- Enhanced Shape and Volume: Provides a more lifted and rounded shape, enhancing the overall silhouette.
- Boosted Confidence: Increases self-esteem by addressing concerns about sagging or unappealing buttock appearance.
- Long-Lasting Results: Offers durable improvements with proper post-operative care and maintenance.
Who is a Good Candidate?
You may be a good candidate for a buttock lift if you:
- Have excess skin and/or sagging in the buttocks area that is resistant to diet and exercise.
- Have achieved a stable weight and are in good overall health.
- Desire a more youthful and contoured buttock appearance.
- Have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure.
The Consultation Process
During your consultation with Dr. Saad Alsubaie, we will:
- Discuss your medical history and any previous surgeries.
- Evaluate the amount of excess skin and tissue in your buttocks.
- Understand your goals and expectations for the surgery.
- Explain the procedure in detail, including surgical techniques, expected results, and recovery times.
- Address any questions or concerns you may have about the buttock lift.
The Procedure
- Anesthesia: The buttock lift is typically performed under general anesthesia, ensuring your comfort throughout the procedure.
- Incision Placement: Incisions are made based on the extent of excess skin and the desired lift:
- Circumferential Incision: Around the waistline or in the natural folds of the buttocks to remove excess skin and lift the buttocks.
- Vertical or Horizontal Incisions: Depending on the specific needs, incisions may be placed to achieve the desired lift and contour.
- Excess Skin and Tissue Removal: Excess skin and, if necessary, underlying tissues are carefully removed and tightened to achieve the desired shape.
- Closing Incisions: The incisions are closed with sutures, which are placed to minimize visible scarring and promote optimal healing.
Recovery and Aftercare
- Initial Recovery: You will be monitored in our facility before being discharged with detailed aftercare instructions.
- Pain Management: Mild discomfort, swelling, and bruising are common, managed with prescribed medications.
- Activity Restrictions: Avoid sitting directly on your buttocks and engaging in strenuous activities for several weeks to facilitate healing. Follow specific post-operative care instructions for optimal results.
- Follow-Up Visits: Regular check-ups with Dr. Alsubaie to monitor your healing process and assess the results of your procedure.
- Swelling and Bruising: These will gradually subside over several weeks, revealing your final results.
Risks and Considerations
As with any surgery, a buttock lift comes with potential risks, including:
- Infection
- Scarring
- Changes in skin sensation
- Asymmetry or uneven contour
- Seroma (fluid accumulation) or hematoma (blood accumulation)
Dr. Alsubaie will discuss these risks in detail during your consultation to ensure you are fully informed.
