Your plastic surgeon will make the incision from hip to hip below your lower back. Then the excess skin (below the incision) is removed and pulled up (repositioned) providing a lift to buttocks. After that, the extra fat and skin are removed to improve the contours of buttocks. The incisions are closed with sutures and surgical tape or skin adhesives are used to provide extra support. You may be given an antibiotic during the procedure to prevent the risk of infection. A buttock lift surgery may take 2 to 5 hours to complete.
