Butt Lift & Liposuction in Long Island

What is a Butt Lift?

A butt lift is a surgical procedure designed to tighten and lift sagging skin and tissue in the buttocks area. This procedure can be transformative for those who have lost significant weight or are experiencing a loss of elasticity in the skin. A butt lift doesn’t necessarily add volume, but it repositions the tissue for a higher, more youthful appearance.

Key Benefits of a Butt Lift:

• Lifts and tightens sagging skin for a firmer look
• Reduces excess skin caused by weight loss or aging
• Enhances body contours by improving the shape of the buttocks

A butt lift can have a huge impact on how you feel in your clothes and improve the overall proportion of your lower body.

Why Combine a Butt Lift with Liposuction?

While a butt lift reshapes and lifts the buttocks, combining it with liposuction can take your results to the next level. Liposuction removes excess fat from the surrounding areas, such as the lower back, hips, or thighs, creating smoother, more proportional contours. Together, these two procedures can dramatically enhance the shape of your buttocks and your entire lower body.

Benefits of Combining Liposuction with a Butt Lift:

• Removes stubborn fat from areas like the hips, lower back, and thighs
• Enhances the natural curves and shape of your buttocks
• Provides a more sculpted, toned appearance to your entire lower body

Combining these two procedures allows for a more comprehensive transformation that brings balance and harmony to your body’s proportions.

Are You a Good Candidate for a Butt Lift with Liposuction?

If you’re experiencing sagging in your buttocks or loose skin that has caused a loss of shape, you may be a great candidate for a butt lift with liposuction. Here are some factors that might make this combination procedure a good fit for you:

• Excess skin and sagging in the buttocks area
• Stubborn fat deposits in surrounding areas, like the hips, thighs, or lower back
• You’re at a stable weight and in overall good health
• You have realistic expectations for how this surgery can improve your body’s appearance

During your consultation, we’ll discuss your goals and what results you can expect to ensure this is the best procedure for your needs.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Before surgery, I’ll go over everything you need to know to ensure you feel confident and prepared. A butt lift with liposuction typically takes around three to four hours and is performed under general anesthesia for your comfort.

Before Surgery

In the weeks leading up to your surgery, we’ll discuss important pre-operative instructions such as stopping smoking, avoiding certain medications, and preparing your home for a smooth recovery. It’s important to have someone to help you in the first few days after surgery.

During the Procedure

Once you’re under anesthesia, I’ll begin by performing liposuction in the areas surrounding the buttocks, followed by the butt lift procedure.

• Liposuction: Using liposuction, I’ll remove unwanted fat from areas like the thighs, hips, or lower back. This step helps create a more proportional, contoured look, improving the overall shape of your lower body.
• Butt Lift: After liposuction, I’ll carefully remove any excess skin and reposition the underlying tissues in the buttocks for a lifted, tighter appearance. This will help restore shape and firmness to the area.

By combining both procedures, you can expect a more enhanced and balanced result, with a sculpted lower body that looks both lifted and natural.

After Surgery

After the procedure, you’ll need to wear a compression garment to reduce swelling and support your newly contoured shape. Swelling and discomfort are normal during the first few weeks, but I’ll provide pain management strategies to keep you comfortable. Most patients can return to light activities within two to three weeks, but it’s important to avoid strenuous activity for at least six weeks.

I’ll be here to guide you through every step of your recovery and ensure your healing process is smooth.

What Results Can You Expect?

Combining a butt lift with liposuction gives you a more comprehensive result by addressing both the shape and contour of your buttocks and the surrounding areas. Here’s what you can expect from this combination procedure:

• A lifted, firmer buttocks with reduced sagging
• Smoother, more contoured hips, thighs, and lower back
• Improved overall balance and proportion of your lower body

The results are long-lasting and can be maintained with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. Most patients find that their clothes fit better and that they feel more confident in their appearance.

FAQs About Butt Lift + Liposuction

How long is the recovery period?

Most patients can return to light activities within two to three weeks, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for about six weeks. I’ll provide detailed surgery recovery instructions to make sure everything goes smoothly.

Will I have noticeable scars?

There will be scars from the incision, but I place them strategically so they’re hidden in natural folds or covered by clothing. Over time, with proper care, these scars will fade significantly.

How much fat can be removed during liposuction?

The amount of fat removed varies depending on your individual needs. During your consultation, we’ll discuss how much fat can be safely removed to achieve your desired results.

Will a butt lift give me more volume?

A traditional butt lift doesn’t add volume to your buttocks but rather lifts and reshapes the existing tissue. If you’re looking to enhance volume, we can discuss other options like a fat transfer procedure during your consultation.

How soon will I see my final results?

While you’ll notice some improvements right after surgery, it can take several months for swelling to fully subside and for your final results to become apparent. I’ll guide you through every step of the recovery process to ensure you’re healing well.
