Many women dream of having a balanced, proportional hourglass silhouette, a symbol of timeless beauty and confidence. However, only a fortunate few naturally have this sought-after shape. A butt lift is the key to unlocking enhanced curves, correcting sagging, and sculpting your figure.
At SurgiSpa in Las Vegas, Dr. Arthur Cambeiro specializes in helping patients reach their aesthetic goals through personalized cosmetic procedures, including the butt lift. Read this guide to learn how this surgery can enhance your curves and restore your lower body’s youthful, toned appearance.
What Is a Butt Lift?
Dr. Cambiero can improve your buttocks’ appearance by eliminating excess skin and tightening what remains. This procedure is ideal for patients who have experienced aging, significant weight loss, or other factors that have led to sagging, flat, or drooping buttocks.
The primary goal of a traditional butt lift is not to add volume but to create a more lifted, firmer appearance by eliminating excess skin. However, the Brazilian butt lift has gained popularity for its ability to give the buttocks a rounder, fuller shape while slimming trouble spots like your thighs, hips, or abdomen.
How a Butt Lift Can Enhance Your Shape
A butt lift can dramatically reshape your body by improving the contours of your lower back, hips, and buttocks. Removing sagging skin creates a lifting effect, giving you a smoother, younger-looking profile. This procedure also balances your proportions, giving you a more defined waistline and a firmer, more aesthetically pleasing rear view.
A butt lift can be life-changing for those who have experienced weight fluctuations or aging, restoring confidence in your appearance and allowing you to feel more comfortable in form-fitting clothes and swimsuits.
Traditional Butt Lift vs. Brazilian Butt Lift
A classic butt lift and a Brazilian butt lift have the same objective of enhancing your buttocks’ appearance. However, they involve different techniques and outcomes.
- Butt lift: A conventional butt lift focuses on tightening and lifting the skin and tissue, making it ideal for patients with sagging or drooping buttocks due to aging, weight loss, or genetics. There is typically no significant addition of volume.
- Brazilian butt lift: The BBL begins with liposuction to remove fat from areas like the abdomen or thighs. Dr. Cambiero then purifies these “donor” fat cells and injects them into the buttocks to enhance volume. This procedure simultaneously lifts and adds fullness, making it an excellent option for patients looking to improve their buttocks’ size and shape.
Dr. Cambeiro can recommend which option suits your needs better after learning about your goals and objectives.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate for a Butt Lift?
The best candidates for a traditional butt lift have loose or sagging skin due to aging, genetics, or dramatic weight loss, and want to improve their buttocks’ shape and firmness without adding significant volume. You should also be in good overall health, maintain a stable weight, and have realistic expectations about the results.
Dr. Cambeiro may recommend a Brazilian butt lift instead if you are looking to enhance volume, improve contour, and achieve a slimming effect that enhances your entire lower body.
Butt Lift Recovery Timeline
Healing from a conventional butt lift requires taking approximately a week off work. Initially, you will feel sore and fatigued, but you should be up and about within 48 hours. You will feel most comfortable lying flat on your stomach for the first few days, gradually regaining your ability to sit upright.
Swelling, bruising, numbness, and tightness are common in the first few days following the procedure, but these symptoms gradually subside over time. Dr. Cambeiro will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure smooth healing, including how to care for your incisions, manage discomfort, and when to return for follow-up appointment.
How Long Does a Butt Lift Last?
Long-lasting improvements are a significant advantage of a butt lift. Once Dr. Cambiero removes excess skin and tightens the tissues, your buttocks will maintain a firm, uplifted appearance for many years. However, factors such as weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and the natural aging process can impact the longevity of your results.
Following a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise and a balanced diet is essential. Dr. Cambeiro will recommend tips for preserving your butt lift outcomes for the long term.
How to Get Ready for Your Butt Lift
Preparing for your butt lift is essential for ensuring a smooth surgery and recovery. Dr. Cambeiro will provide personalized pre-operative instructions based on your needs, but you can use these general guidelines as a starting point.
- Avoid specific medications: Stop taking blood thinners, anti-inflammatory drugs, and supplements that can increase your risk of bleeding.
- Stop smoking: Smoking can hinder your body’s ability to heal and should be discontinued well before and after the procedure.
- Arrange for help: You will need a responsible caretaker to drive you home from surgery and assist you with daily tasks like going to the bathroom, taking medications on time, and preparing meals.
Choosing Your Butt Lift Surgeon
Partnering with a board-certified plastic surgeon who has extensive experience in body contouring procedures is the best way to ensure your safety and satisfaction. Dr. Cambeiro is a highly skilled plastic surgeon with a reputation for delivering exceptional, natural-looking results.
With his attention to detail and commitment to medical ethics, Dr. Cambeiro will work with you to create a customized treatment plan that addresses your unique needs and aesthetic goals. He’ll also educate you about the procedure and recovery process so you can feel confident and cared for at every step.
Maintaining Your Butt Lift Results
While a butt lift can significantly improve your lower body contours, maintaining the results over time requires a commitment to a healthy lifestyle. Regular exercises that target the gluteal muscles can keep your buttocks firm and toned. Incorporate strength training moves like squats, lunges, and leg lifts to preserve your new contours.
You should also stick to a balanced diet that keeps your weight stable. Gaining weight can make your butt lift outcomes less noticeable, so it’s necessary to follow a nutritional plan that promotes long-term stability.
