Buttock Lift (also known as Postpartum Tightening)
Skin surpluses may form as a result of flattened gluteal muscles and slackening of the skin on the buttocks. These surpluses can become particularly noticeable with increasing age, but also after major weight loss, for example in the context of pregnancy or prolonged illness.
If sporting activities or dieting fail to produce the desired success, with the patient’s bottom remaining flat and flabby, it may be a good idea to think about a buttock lift.
Through a microsurgical procedure in the form of a buttock lift (also referred to as postpartum tightening), excess skin can be removed and the silhouette of the buttocks can be significantly improved. By enhancing, in particular, the lower gluteal fold at the transition to the thigh and tightening the tissue toward the upper pelvis, the contours of the buttocks can be refined.
To emphasize the upper portion of the buttocks in cases of insufficient volume, lipofilling (autologous fat transfer) can also help achieve a rounder contour.
Wound healing after a buttock lift is usually uncomplicated. Scars will remain, but they are generally barely noticeable.
Buttock lift or postpartum tightening is often performed in combination with liposuction. If sufficient elastic skin is still present, this method is entirely sufficient, as the skin will naturally retract and tighten again afterward.
The chances of success for a buttock lift are usually good, as is the permanence of the result.
