The Butt Lift Gives More than Just Buttocks a Lift

Sometimes people look in the mirror at their backside and see a sagging derriere in serious need of repair. Commonly called the butt lift, this procedure reshapes and lifts the buttocks.

The butt lift is a surgical procedure requiring the patient to be put under with anesthesia. The procedure itself involves pulling skin and muscle up and then re-contouring in order to achieve a well-rounded and shapely rear end.

Butt lifts are performed on patients with diverse backgrounds. For a patient achieving astounding weight loss, the unfortunate side effect is sometimes sagging tissues that can only be reshaped and redefined by having them permanently removed.

For this reason, many gastric bypass post-op patients seek out the helpful butt lift to give their body a more normal shape. For these patients the butt lift is more than just a surgical procedure, it can be an empowering experience. Having never lived as a person with a normal body, the butt lift affords the patient the ability to have a normal body for the first time in their lives.

The butt lift is certainly not a new procedure. Used in tandem with liposuction, butt lifts can remove inches from the buttocks and upper back. Due to the tightening of underlying muscular structures and the outer skin layer, a patient can literally be transformed by the butt lift procedure.

Cosmetic surgeries of this nature are a great benefit to patients with a poor self-image. Because the butt lift can dramatically reshape the buttocks and upper back, many patients are thrilled with the result.

The butt lift is one of many procedures available at The Institute for Cosmetic and Reconstructive Surgery and performed by Dr. Thomas T. Nguyen, M.D. For more information about this procedure and the surgeon, explore The Institute of Cosmetic and Reconstructive Surgery website.
