After significant weight loss, you may find that the skin on your buttock changes; starting to become loose and sag. You may also find that the same thing happens as part of the natural aging process. Of course, you can help to strengthen and improve the tone of your buttock muscles through exercise, but you may find that no amount of exercise can fix excess skin that has lost its elasticity.
After working hard to lose weight, it can be disappointing not to have the body shape you had hoped for. Many people opt for surgery to help tighten those areas of the body most affected by it. After having a buttock lift, you should achieve a smoother, more contoured shape, which may lead to you feeling more confident and able to wear more tightly fitting clothes and swimwear.
During a buttock lift the extra skin is reduced, tissue is tightened and smoothed, and extra fat is removed. Following the procedure, your buttocks should look more toned and defined.
Excess fat and skin are removed during a buttock lift and further definition can also be achieved using liposuction when needed. The procedure should result in a tighter and more toned appearance.
Whilst the results of a buttock lift are usually long lasting, you should remember that you need to try to keep a healthy weight following surgery. If the skin was stretched again through additional weight gain, then you may need additional surgery.
All surgical procedures pose a potential risk, and it is important know what these are before you go ahead so that you can weigh them up against the benefits your procedure could bring. During your consultations you will talk through these potential complications and you can ask any questions that you have about them.
As a guide, they may include pain, infections, scars bleeding, blood clots, numbness and changes in sensation.
You might be considering this surgery if you are looking to bring a better shape to your buttocks. You should be close to your ideal weight to undergo the buttock lift procedure. Do not forget that this procedure is not a weight loss surgery – it is a way to bring further definition and tone to your buttocks area. You would be an ideal candidate if you have got enough loose skin and elasticity to allow a good outcome.
You are unlikely to be able to have this procedure if you have a medical condition that interferes with wound healing, if you are significantly overweight, or if you have frequent weight changes. If you are a smoker, then you would need to commit to stop smoking before and after surgery.
