If you've lost a lot of weight - or wish to improve your body's shape and contour -- you might consider plastic surgery to "lift" your arms, thighs, and/or buttocks.
In fact, some people who request liposuction are actually better candidates for thigh lifts or buttock lifts, because of their age and genetic makeup. If liposuction alone is performed, the excess skin would hang and look unattractive - and would require a lift.
Each procedure involves removing excess skin, reshaping the area, and leaving only an inconspicuous scar. Each is a major surgical procedure, requiring extensive recovery -- but the results typically are dramatic. And, while the results are considered permanent, diet and exercise are necessary to maintain them. In some cases, a touch-up procedure may be necessary.
Buttock Lift (Gluteal Lift)
The excess, droopy skin in the buttocks is a great candidate for a buttock or gluteal lift. This procedure can also get rid of severe cellulite in that region, too.
During the procedure, incisions are made underneath the buttock area, where they won't be noticeable. Then, the plastic surgeon simply removes whatever is hanging - excess skin and fat. To improve the buttocks' overall look, liposuction may also be performed. You would be required to stay in the hospital for 02 days under observation.
After surgery, the main obstacle to healing and recovery is not being able to sit. But gradually, as the incisions heal, the patient can resume normal activity, including sitting down.
Temporary Side Effects of Buttock Lift?
Common side effects include bruising, pain, and numbness all of which usually resolve within several months. Scars will soften over time.
