Buttocks
Lift
CONSIDERATIONS / PREPARATION / PROCEDURE / RECOVERY / RESULTS
Due to several factors, some people experience the loss of muscle tone in their buttocks and the tissue begins to sag or droop. A lift tightens the muscles and removes excess fatty tissue and skin, restoring firmness and the youthful appearance you desire.
| Consultation |
 |
The RTH Plastic Surgery cosmetic consultation is an important step in the process of considering aesthetic surgery. Dr. Hajjar and the RTH staff are committed to helping you become well informed about the actual process of preparing for a buttocks lift. Feel free to ask any questions and to let us know how we can help you throughout the process.
An RTH Physician will spend time with you discussing your wishes and desires. He will examine you and give you his professional opinion about how to best achieve your goals. Your RTH doctor will work with you to determine whether you are a good candidate for a buttocks lift. Other services may be recommended in combination with this service to be sure that you have an optimum surgical result and a wonderful surgical experience.
| Considerations |
|
Your candidacy for this procedure is determined during the consultation
phase. Your RTH doctor will help you to decide whether you are a good
candidate for a buttocks lift. He will take into consideration your
specific needs, your age, health and various other factors. Buttocks
lifts are elected by both men and women of all ages.
Some people who ask for liposuction are really better candidates for
a buttocks lift. Your RTH doctors may advise to have both
procedures at the same time to maximize your results.
| Preparation |
|
Schedule your appointment at your own convenience.
Before your Procedure
3 weeks prior to and 3 weeks after your surgery try to limit your
alcohol and tobacco intake. 2 weeks prior to and 2 weeks after
your surgery do not take medication that may thin your blood
such as Aspirin or Ibuprofen products.
The Evening Before Your Procedure
The evening prior to your surgery please refrain from eating or
drinking anything including water. Please do not smoke and check
with your RTH physician regarding any medication that you are taking
regularly.
The Day of Your Procedure
Please refrain from wearing makeup, contact lenses, hairpins, jewelry,
body lotion or perfume. Wear comfortable clothing. If you develop
a cold, sore throat, fever or any symptoms of illness before
your surgery, notify the RTH office.
Please prepare to have a responsible adult available to provide transportation
after your procedure and have arrangements made for any necessary
assistance you may require for the following 24 hours. If you are
a minor a parent or guardian must accompany you.
| Procedure |
|
Before your procedure your RTH physician will answer any questions
that may have arose since the initial consultation and you will have
an opportunity to meet any additional staff members involved. The
RTH staff will do everything to make you feel as comfortable as possible
and will be available to address any concerns that you may have.
During the procedure, small incisions are made underneath the
buttock area, where they won't be noticeable. Then, the plastic
surgeon simply removes excess skin and fat.
To improve the buttocks' overall look, liposuction may also be
performed.
The procedure normally takes between 2 and 4 hours.
| Recovery |
|
Just as everyone is an individual, everyone recovers differently. Rest
is recommended for the first few days following surgery. Patients usually
are recommended to lie on their stomachs during the first week. Gradually
the patient can resume normal activity.
The initial recovery from the procedure is from 7 to 10 days, with complete recovery
within four to six weeks.
A couple days after your surgery your RTH doctor will follow-up with you to see
how you’re healing, answer any questions and if necessary prescribe medication.
| Results |
|
While results may vary, typically patients enjoy a youthful, natural,
and more comfortable shape to their posterior. A buttocks lift is long-lasting
as long as a balanced diet and exercise program are maintained.
