Butt Lift in Orlando, FL

A butt lift is performed under general anesthesia, so you will not experience any pain during the procedure. Some pain and discomfort are expected during the first phase of recovery. We can provide medication to manage these issues.

Your butt lift will be performed during a single procedure. We will schedule follow-up visits to make sure you are healing well.

A majority of the swelling will begin to subside around 3 months after your surgery. It can take around 6 to 12 months before you see your final results.

We recommend that you rest and avoid unnecessary travel for around 10 days after your butt lift.

Some of the potential risks include:

• Seroma
• Hematoma
• Scarring
• Asymmetry
• Nerve damage
• Infection

It depends. Both of these procedures address different cosmetic issues. For individuals with loose skin or wrinkles in the buttock area, a butt lift is necessary. This procedure may still include liposuction if excess fat needs to be removed. Patients with a healthy skin tone who simply want smaller buttocks may see improvements with liposuction alone. These alternatives can be discussed during the initial body assessment and consultation with Dr. Soto.

No, butt lift surgery does not involve implants. Butt augmentation is the procedure in which implants are used to give the buttocks volume and a shapelier curve. Another common procedure is the Brazilian butt lift, which gives the buttocks the same effect as butt augmentation by using fat transfer instead of an implant.

Although a butt lift improves buttock firmness, it does not add volume. Some patients may benefit from a combined procedure that involves a butt lift with a fat transfer or implants.

A butt lift is recommended for those close to or at their goal weight, with a BMI (body mass index) below 30. Significant weight gain after this surgery can compromise the surgical results. As with any body-contouring procedure that enhances body shape and contour, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a proper diet and regular exercise will help maintain the results over the long term.

As with most skin removal surgeries, there will be some scarring with a butt lift procedure. Dr. Soto will make every effort to minimize scarring and reduce visibility by placing the incisions within the natural folds under the buttocks. Post-surgery care is very important for good wound healing. Compression garments and topical creams will also help. Over time, the scars will fade and flatten.
