Buttock Lift. Buttock laxity is a common and very troublesome problem for women and men. Ιt makes it difficult to choose clothing, affects their everyday life and negatively affects their self-confidence.

Τhe most common causes of buttocks drooping are:

• weight fluctuations
• pregnancy
• sedentary lifestyle
• obesity
• gravity
• decreased elasticity of the tissues
• heredity

With the buttock lift, tightening is achieved and skin laxity in the area is treated.

The surgery is performed with general anesthesia and lasts 2 to 2½ hours. The incisions are made in such a way that they are covered by the mesogluteal fold and as far as possible by the undergarment.

The surgery can be combined with liposuction in the outside and inside of the thighs and knees.

Depending on the size of the problem, staying in the clinic may not be necessary. Postoperatively a special compression garment is placed for about 4 weeks. Return to work is done after 7 to 10 days.

Complications of buttock lift are generally rare. They include healing disorders, serous fluid collection and decreased sensitivity in the area and are transient. In a small percentage, hypertrophic scars may appear which require additional therapeutic measures to improve them.

Buttock lift has excellent results that are long-lasting since there are no large fluctuations in body weight and a healthy lifestyle is followed. Significant is the contribution of this procedure in the improvement of sexual life. With the buttock lift, the contour of the area returns to balance with the rest of the body, resulting in greater comfort in clothing and stimulation of self-confidence.
