Buttock lifts often involve a combination of surgical procedures, depending on the desired result. The surgeon will cut across the top of the buttock and, depending on the extent of the operation, sometimes along the sides as well. Crescent shaped sections of skin and fat are removed and the skin is pulled together and sewn.

Buttock lifts can also be performed using 'suture' or ' thread lift' techniques. This involves the placement of sutures or threads with tiny 'teeth' into the brow through a small insertion. The threads are pulled upwards and secured, and the insertion is stitched shut.

Risks: The surgery leaves permanent scars and can leave you with asymmetrical buttocks. As with any surgery, there are risks to consider.  Although the majority of patients do not experience complications, you should understand all the possible consequences of buttock lift surgery.
