Shapely buttocks make a person look extremely attractive and fit! A lot of people follow a specific exercise routine to achieve full, well-rounded buttocks but seem to see dismal results. In fact, ageing and dramatic weight loss contribute to loose, sagging buttocks and a shabby looking lower body.
Is there any way through which one can get rid of this excess skin and regain taut, proportionate buttocks? YES! A simple butt lift procedure can change the appearance of the person’s buttocks for the better.
Vanity Cosmetic Clinic’s Board-certified, renowned Plastic Surgeon Dr Santosh Bhatia explains everything about the Buttock Lift cosmetic surgery through this page.

What Is
buttock lift?
Buttock Lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure that involves the aesthetic reshaping of the gluteal region. It is a surgery that will improve the appearance of the buttocks and contour them to look visually appealing and proportionate to the rest of the body.
Buttock lift is completely different from buttock augmentation or Brazilian butt lift. In a buttock augmentation or Brazilian buttock lift the size of the buttocks is enhanced or increased. But in a simple traditional Butt lift only reshaping and removal of excess fat and skin is performed.
In case you are interested in more details about buttock augmentation, you can check out this page by Dr Santosh Bhatia of Vanity Cosmetic Clinic, Mumbai.
Who is an
ideal candidate for buttock lift surgery?
Vanity Cosmetic Clinic, Mumbai lays down some fundamental criteria which can make a person an ideal candidate for a Buttock Lift Surgery. Even though this is an elective, cosmetic surgery, Dr Santosh Bhatia prioritizes patient safety and therefore does not accept candidates who do not fit into the following list:
- An overall healthy individual
- The candidate should be a non-smoker or ready to quit smoking for as long as the surgeon prescribes him to. (both before and after the surgery)
- An individual who has lost a lot of weight in a short span of time leading to loose, hanging skin.
- An individual who is unhappy with the side effects of ageing on their buttocks leading to loose skin.
- An individual who has realistic expectations from the surgery.
Vanity Cosmetic Clinic, Mumbai would like to bring an important point to your notice here that the candidate could be either male or female since this surgery is gender-neutral.
What to expect at the
consultation with Dr Santosh Bhatia?
Dr Santosh Bhatia’s one on one consultations are deep, detailed discussions where he asks the patient about their expectations, desires, goals, understands their medical history and explains the procedure and risks to them.
You will be asked about why you want to undergo this surgery and what do you expect from it. Dr Santosh Bhatia will also explain the buttock lift, risks associated with it and how much it will cost you approximately. You will be offered a full “Lower Body Lift” as an option too. Pictures of your lower body will be taken from multiple angles as part of your case history.
Vanity Cosmetic Clinic’s consultations also involve noting down your medical history and any allergies that might affect the surgery. We end the consultation only after the patient and Dr Santosh Bhatia are on the same page and there are no doubts in the mind of the patient.
What to expect
before the buttock lift surgery?
In case of a buttock lift surgery the pre-surgery prep is not much for the patient. Dr Santosh Bhatia may ask you to undergo a couple of routine blood and urine tests in order to establish basic parameters for the surgery. He may ask you to discontinue a few medicines which might conflict with your recovery process later. And if you are a smoker, you will be asked to quit smoking in the weeks leading up to the surgery.
But other than that, no special preparation is required from the patient’s side.
How is the
buttock lift surgery performed at vanity cosmetic clinic?
- The procedure begins with the administration of anaesthesia. The anaesthesia could either be general anaesthesia or local anaesthesia with intravenous sedation. The right choice for your unique case will be made by Dr Santosh Bhatia, the Board-certified Plastic Surgeon of Vanity Cosmetic Clinic.
- A small incision is made at the top of the buttocks, in the hips, groin, or under the buttock cheeks. The location of the incision will depend on the unique individual case and Dr Bhatia’s expert opinion.
- Once the incision is made, the excess skin is removed. In some cases mild liposuction may be necessary to remove excess fat.
- Once this is achieved, the remaining skin is pulled taut for a more toned, contoured appearance. The incisions are closed up in layers to ensure that the skin remains taut and doesn’t sag.
What Is the
recovery process for buttock lift surgery?
After the surgery, you will have to remain at the clinic for a couple of hours. During these hours your vitals will be monitored and once, Dr Santosh Bhatia has ensured that your vitals are stable and you are fully alert, you will be discharged from the clinic.
Your lower body may have been bandaged and there may be drainage tubes attached to you. These need to be kept in place so as to remove any excess fluid from your body.
You will be prescribed compression garments. The compression garments need to be worn 24/7 till Dr Santosh Bhatia explicitly tells you to stop wearing them. Compression garments play a vital role in your recovery, since they help in the settlement of the buttocks. The swelling also subsides faster due to the compression garments.
Dr Santosh Bhatia may prescribe medication to manage the pain and you will be given details of your follow-up visits. As a patient you must ensure that you follow all the instructions given to you and take your medication on time.
You will be advised not to sleep on your back. Sleeping face down or on your side is preferred. Prolonged sitting is also not advisable for a minimum of two weeks and maximum based on Dr Santosh Bhatia’s guideline, which may be different for every patient.
Typically patients can resume exercise six to eight weeks after the surgery.
Any other questions or doubts about the recovery can be raised during your consultation with Dr Santosh Bhatia, the Board-certified Plastic Surgeon of Vanity Cosmetic Clinic, Mumbai.
