Buttock lift/ butt lift

The procedure is performed in patients who have drooping buttocks with dangling skin in the area of buttock folds and / or have lost their firmness due to the aging process and signs of cellulite appeared in the buttocks, or in patients who have lost weight as a result of diet or bariatric procedures. In the case of a sufficient amount of adipose tissue on the buttocks, after a specially prepared flap of this own fat, we can enlarge the buttocks during lifting with own fat. Due to the insufficient amount of subcutaneous tissue and muscles, this procedure is enriched with buttock implants.

Each treatment is preceded by appropriate planning of skin cuts. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia. Before the actual surgery, to achieve a better result, liposuction is additionally performed on the surrounding area of the buttock. The treatment consists in dissecting the skin flap that rises upwards in the appropriate layer, reducing some of the skin and adipose tissue, using some excess to enlarge it at the same time, and in the case of lack of adipose tissue, the use of buttock implants. After the procedure, there is a horizontal scar that runs from the buttocks fissure to the side wall of the body. It can be joined with the abdominoplasty scar or ended on the side of the hip.

After 2-3 weeks, you can return to work. Intensive physical activity is possible after approx. 1 month. Control visits in the first week are determined individually, then after 1, 3, 6 and 12 months.

Consequences and possible complications:

1. Swelling and bruising are an indispensable consequence of the treatment.
2. Asymmetry - the human body is not symmetrical, therefore achieving 100 % of symmetry is practically impossible.
3. Hematoma in the space under the sliding flap - requires surgical intervention and removal of the hematoma.
4. Lymph cysts (seroma).
5. Infection and abscess in the wound and under the flap.
6. Skin necrosis, marginal or larger parts of the skin.
7. Aseptic necrosis of adipose tissue most common in patients who are overweight and / or obese
8. Unevenness of the skin.
9. Double bass distortion (narrowing at the scar site).
10. Pain, periodic or persistent without deformation.
11. Allergies to medications used.
12. Venous thrombosis with pulmonary embolism and death.
13. Unsatisfactory aesthetic effect.
14. Deep vein thrombosis with pulmonary embolism and death.
