A buttock lift is an aesthetic procedure aimed at improving the shape, firmness and volume of this body part. Depending on the desired results and patient preference, both surgical techniques and less invasive modelling methods are used.

A buttock lift - surgical methods

One of the most invasive treatments is the surgical buttock lift, or buttock skin plication. It involves the removal of excess flabby skin and fatty tissue to create a tighter, lifted contour. This procedure is often performed in patients after major weight loss, when the skin does not have the ability to shrink on its own. Incisions are made in discreet areas and the skin is stretched and shaped to achieve a natural effect.

Another surgical option is use of buttock implantsThe implants are made of a highly elastic silicone material and are inserted through an incision in the inter-areolar fold. The implants are made of a highly elastic silicone material and are inserted through an incision in the intertrabecular fold area. This method is particularly recommended for people with a slim body shape who do not have sufficient fat tissue for transplantation. Choosing the right shape and size of implants is crucial to achieving a harmonious and proportionate appearance.

One of the more popular methods of shaping the buttocks is also the brazilian buttock lift (BBL), which is the transplantation of the patient's own fat tissue. This procedure involves taking fat from other areas of the body, such as the abdomen or thighs, and then processing it and precisely inserting it into the buttocks. This allows for a fuller, more rounded shape, while maintaining the natural softness of the tissues.

Non-invasive and minimally invasive methods of buttock lift

As an alternative to surgical procedures, less invasive methods are available to improve the firmness and shape of the buttocks without the need for a long recovery. These methods include:

• • HIFU technology, using concentrated ultrasound, stimulates collagen production, leading to firmer and denser skin.

• • Modelling of the buttocks with hyaluronic acid is another option for subtle volume enhancement and contour improvement. The product is precisely injected into specific areas, resulting in a filling and smoothing effect on the skin.

• • Modern technologies such as electromagnetic stimulation, act on the muscles of the buttocks, stimulating them intensively, leading to their strengthening and lifting.

These methods can aid fat reduction and improve the overall structure of the buttocks.

The decision to choose a specific procedure should take into account the individual's needs, body shape and expected results. Surgical procedures, such as buttock lifts or implants, provide permanent results, but are associated with a longer recovery period. Non-invasive technologies, on the other hand, can be an alternative for people who do not want to undergo surgery, but are keen to improve firmness and lift the buttocks.
