Buttock Lift

Conveniently located to serve Newark and New Castle, DE

 

Table of Contents

 

For those experiencing sagging or a loss of youthful shape in the buttocks, achieving a firmer, more lifted profile can feel out of reach. Seeking a butt lift in Newark, DE? Mehdi Balakhani MD offers personalized solutions to help you achieve your goals. Natural fat transfer techniques can enhance your curves without implants or overdone results.

What Is a Buttock Lift?

A butt lift, or gluteal lift, is a buttock enhancement procedure that tightens loose skin to reduce sagging. This body-contouring surgery effectively creates a firmer rear end and improves the shape and tone of buttock and thigh tissue. 

A Brazilian butt lift (BBL) uses your fat to enhance the shape, size, and projection of the buttocks. By removing fat from one area, often the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, and transferring it to the buttocks, Dr. Balakhani helps sculpt a fuller, rounder profile without using implants. This method is ideal for those seeking natural-looking enhancement.

Ideal Candidates for a Buttock Lift

  • Have enough excess fat for harvesting
  • Are at a stable, healthy weight
  • Are in good overall health
  • Have firm, elastic skin to support contouring
  • Are prepared to follow all post-operative instructions
  • Have realistic expectations about the results

What Happens During the Consultation?

At your initial consultation for a butt lift, Dr. Balakhani will go over your medical history and ask you about your goals for the procedure. Be ready to discuss recent medical procedures, current medications and supplements, and past procedures.

Dr. Balakhani will perform a physical examination, and photographs may be taken for your medical records. He will go over the details of the butt lift process, from preparation through recovery. Feel free to ask questions, as it is essential that you fully understand the procedure before undergoing it.

How to Prepare for a Buttock Lift

For your butt lift treatment to go smoothly, you will be required to give up smoking in advance. Cigarette smoking impairs proper blood flow in the skin, which can impede the healing process. In addition, your chances of complications are significantly increased if you are a smoker.

Refrain from taking any blood thinners, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or certain herbal supplements before your buttocks lift operation. They may make bleeding more likely.

Maintaining a stable weight is important for this procedure, and it is best to avoid significant weight changes for at least six to twelve months before getting a butt lift. 

Diet matters too. Focus on a protein-rich regimen with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to support tissue healing and post-surgical recovery. Staying hydrated is equally important. 

Here’s a pre-surgery checklist you can use:

  • Complete all medical evaluations.
  • Adjust medications as advised.
  • Arrange for post-surgery transportation and assistance.
  • Prepare a comfortable recovery area at home.

What to Expect During the Procedure

General anesthesia will be administered to ensure the patient’s comfort throughout the procedure. Next, Dr. Balakhani will make an incision from hip to hip along the lower back or beneath each buttock. To raise the buttocks, the surplus skin below the incision will be pulled upwards, and excess skin and fat will be removed. Incisions will be closed with sutures.

A standard method involves making incisions along the upper buttock or lower back to remove excess skin and tighten underlying tissue. If you’re undergoing a Brazilian butt lift (BBL), liposuction will be used to collect fat from areas like the abdomen or flanks, which is then purified and injected into the buttocks to enhance volume.

The usual time for a buttocks lift is between two and three hours. If additional contouring procedures are performed simultaneously, the surgery may take up to six hours.

In some cases, small drains may be temporarily placed to prevent fluid buildup and aid healing. These are typically removed within a few days. Depending on your specific case, you’ll be closely monitored in a recovery room before being cleared to go home the same day or after an overnight stay. 

After the Procedure

Following a butt lift procedure, a surgical dressing will be applied to the incision site. To reduce the risk of blood clots, it is helpful to start walking on the first day after your surgery. Pain is typically mild and can be managed with painkillers as directed.

You will need to wear a supportive garment for the next few weeks. This will help control swelling and give you much-needed support as you recover. Swelling typically peaks within the first week and gradually subsides over a period of four to six weeks.

You need to take it easy for the first few months after a butt lift and gradually build up your activity level. To keep the incision from reopening, you should avoid any position that puts pressure on the incision. Avoid sitting directly on your buttocks or placing pressure on the incision area for at least two weeks. 

Most patients can resume driving after two weeks, return to light activity in three to four weeks, and gradually build up to more strenuous exercise by six to eight weeks. Dr. Balakhani will provide you with specific recovery instructions, which must be followed closely.

Dear Dr. Balakhani,

I wanted to write a note of thanks to all of you for being so wonderful during the surgery process. I love the change in my body already, and can’t wait to see the final results in a few months. I’m so excited to wear the clothes I never would have looked good in before, especially bathing suits!
