Butt lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure performed to improve the appearance of the buttocks. It may be performed as part of a tummy tuck (belt lipectomy) or lower body lift to shape the hips, groin, thighs and abdomen. Hip lift alone does not add volume to the hips. But sometimes, a buttock lift is combined with an augmentation procedure to change the shape or size of the buttocks with implants or fat grafts. During a classic butt lift, excess skin and fat from the butt is removed. The remaining skin is then repositioned to achieve a more toned appearance. During Brazilian Butt Lift surgery, fat is aspirated from the abdominal area with liposuction cannulas and injected into the hip area to enlarge and lift the hip.
After Surgery
After your hip lift, your incision will likely be covered with a surgical dressing. One or more drains are typically placed under the wound and near the incision line to drain excess blood or fluid. You will be helped to walk as early as the first day after the hip lift to help prevent blood clots from forming. After surgery, drains may be left in place for several weeks. You will be shown how to drain and maintain your drains. After a few days, you will begin wearing a supportive garment for the next few weeks. This will help prevent fluid build-up and provide support while it heals. Scar management may include the use of scar cream and massage. The appearance of your wound will improve over time.
Conclusion
By removing excess skin and fat from your buttocks, a butt lift can give you a more toned appearance. Butt lift results are generally long-lasting. Remember that it is very important to maintain a stable weight to maintain your results.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Does the Healing Process Take?
You should be able to stand up and move around within a few days after surgery. After a Brazilian butt lift, patients usually return to work in about a week, but for best results, you should not sit directly on your butt for eight weeks or longer after surgery.
Will there be any trace?
Small, shallow incisions are made in the skin area, and these incisions are opened into the innermost areas, hidden areas where scars will not be visible. We minimize the scar by supporting it with scar removal creams that we recommend after the operation.
When can I start work?
This depends on the patient’s type of work. You can return to work after approximately 1 week. You can sit with support after 1 week. If you have a desk job where you usually sit, we recommend using BBL pillows for at least 3 weeks.
Is Fat Injection Healthier During Aesthetics?
The most commonly used method during Brazilian butt aesthetics is fat injection. A beautiful appearance can be achieved with fat injected into the hip area. However, the procedure must be performed by a surgeon competent in the field.
What causes flat hips?
In fact, it is the displacement of the hip skin and fat mass downwards and outwards under the influence of gravity. Distortion of the hip contours causes the hip to appear flat and long.
When will some of the fat injected into the butt melt?
The results of hip enlargement with fat injection are quite satisfactory. After the application, the injected fat melts by itself at a rate of approximately 30% within the first 6 months. The remaining 70-80% will remain permanent unless weight is lost.
