Buttock lift is a popular cosmetic procedure that involves fat transfer to help create more fullness in your buttock area.

What is the buttock lift procedure like?

A buttock lift consists of fat grafting, which is notable for its natural-looking results. The procedure involves the following steps:

The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia, but in procedures where smaller amounts of fat are transferred, it can also be done with only local anesthesia. You may want to request an anti-nausea medication, especially if anesthesia makes you sick.
Your surgeon will then use liposuction to transfer fat from other areas of your body, such as your buttocks, stomach, and thighs. Liposuction itself involves making incisions in the skin and using a tube to remove fat from the body by entering through these incisions.
The freshly removed fat deposits from your body are purified and prepared for injection into your buttocks.
Your surgeon finishes the procedure by injecting the processed fat into specific areas of the buttocks to create a rounder, fuller look. Three to five incisions are made around the buttocks for the fat transfers.
Both the liposuction and fat transfer incisions are closed with stitches. Your surgeon will then apply a compression garment against the affected areas of skin to minimize your risk of bleeding.
What are the benefits of a buttock lift?

Unlike other buttock surgery methods such as the placement of silicone buttock implants, you may opt for a buttock lift to achieve more natural-looking results and also create more roundness in your buttocks.

It also helps address some issues such as sagging and deformity that sometimes occur with age.

Another benefit of buttock lift surgery is that it has a lower risk of infection compared to silicone buttock implants. It has a better safety profile than other substances, such as silicone caulking and fillers, which are sometimes illegally injected into the buttocks by people who are not authorized to perform the procedure.

Despite these advantages, there are some serious side effects to consider.
