Buttocks Lift - San Francisco
By Bay Area Plastic Surgeon Dr. Aycock

Buttock lift surgery is becoming more popular as people lose weight after bariatric / gastric bypass surgery. After massive weight loss, there is often excess skin around the buttock and thigh area that can be removed through body lift plastic surgery.

People also choose buttock or thigh lift surgery if the skin in that area is flabby, saggy, dimpled, or has an orange peel appearance. Many people, both men and women, are better able to fit into clothes following body lift surgery, and also experience improved self esteem. If you would like to combine a buttock lift with complete lower body contouring, then leg / thigh lift and tummy tuck may compliment a buttock lift.

Buttock Lift Procedure Information

Buttock lift plastic surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia. A number of variations in incision location are possible, and San Francisco surgeon Dr. Aycock will help you determine the option that is best for you. Dr. Aycock will show you what specific procedures are available to solve your particular concerns. Complimentary procedures include Leg Lift, Arm Lift, Tummy Tuck, and Liposuction.

Recovery from Buttocks Lift Surgery

Following buttock lift surgery, you will need to wear an elastic compression garment to assist in the natural tightening and shrinking of the skin and to reduce swelling. With less extensive buttock lifts, initial discomfort is typically controlled with oral medication prescribed by Dr. Aycock. With more extensive buttock lifts, one or two nights care in a hospital or skilled nursing facility are typically recommended. This allows for intravenous catheters, pain injections, and close monitoring of the recovery process. Swelling and bruising typically subside within a month, strenuous exercise is typically possible in about six weeks, and full recovery is normally complete within four to six months.
