Butt Lift & Augmentation – Achieve a More Youthful, Shapely, and Proportioned Buttocks at Minnerva Clinic

Changes in the appearance of the buttocks can include:

• Sagging or Drooping (Ptosis): Loss of skin elasticity and weakening of underlying support structures cause the buttocks to sag, often resulting in a flattened or "deflated" look, and sometimes a "double buttock" crease.
• Loss of Volume & Flatness: Natural aging or weight loss can lead to a reduction in gluteal fat, resulting in flat or less prominent buttocks.
• Poor Shape or Asymmetry: Genetic factors can influence the natural shape and symmetry of the buttocks.
• Cellulite & Skin Irregularities: While not the primary target, some improvement in skin texture may be seen with certain lifting or augmentation techniques.

How Butt Lift & Augmentation Procedures Work:

The surgical approach depends on whether the primary goal is lifting sagging skin, adding volume, or both:

Butt Lift (Gluteal Lift/Dermolipectomy):

Focuses on removing excess, sagging skin and lifting the remaining buttock tissue to a higher, more youthful position. Incisions are typically made along the upper border of the buttocks (often concealable by underwear or swimwear), sometimes extending around the hips (as part of a lower body lift). Excess skin is excised, and the remaining skin and tissues are lifted and sutured into place. Liposuction may be used to contour the area. This procedure primarily addresses sagging, not lack of volume.

Butt Augmentation with Fat Transfer (Brazilian Butt Lift - BBL):

This is currently the most popular method for buttock augmentation. Fat is harvested via liposuction from other areas of your body (e.g., abdomen, flanks, thighs). The harvested fat is purified and then meticulously injected in multiple layers into specific areas of the buttocks to add volume, improve shape, and enhance projection. Provides natural-feeling results and the dual benefit of slimming donor areas.

Butt Augmentation with Implants (Gluteal Implants):

Solid silicone implants are surgically placed deep within or beneath the gluteal muscles to increase volume and projection. Incisions are typically made in the crease between the buttock cheeks (intergluteal cleft) or sometimes elsewhere. This option provides a significant and predictable volume increase.

Often, techniques are combined (e.g., a lift with fat transfer) for comprehensive results. The goals are to:

• Lift and tighten sagging buttock skin.
• Add volume and projection to flat or underdeveloped buttocks.
• Improve the overall shape, contour, and symmetry of the gluteal region.
• Create a more youthful, aesthetically pleasing, and proportionate lower body silhouette.

Butt lift or augmentation surgery can be highly effective for individuals looking to improve the shape, size, or position of their buttocks. These procedures might be suitable for you if:

• →For a Butt Lift: You have significant sagging, loose skin on your buttocks, often due to aging, genetics, or major weight loss, and desire a tighter, more elevated appearance.
• →For Butt Augmentation (Fat Transfer - BBL): You desire a modest to moderate increase in buttock volume and improved shape, prefer using your own natural tissues, and have sufficient donor fat in other body areas.
• →For Butt Augmentation (Implants): You desire a significant and predictable increase in buttock volume and projection, and may not have enough donor fat for a BBL, or prefer the characteristics of implants.
• →You are in good general physical and psychological health.
• →You are at or near your ideal, stable body weight (these are contouring procedures, not for weight loss).
• →You have realistic expectations about the surgical outcomes, recovery period, and potential scars.
• →You are a non-smoker or are willing to quit smoking well before and after surgery, as smoking severely impairs healing and increases complication risks (especially for fat transfer survival).
