As we age, our buttocks
gradually changes shape by drooping and sagging. This can have harmful
effects on one’s self image and sense of attractiveness. Although
previously there was no real answer for this aging process,
Dr.
Weisberg /
Dr.
Cederna offers a surgical procedure that can help an individual to
look and feel more positive about their body.
Men and women ideal candidates are in good physical and mental health
and have realistic expectations about what plastic surgery can do for
them. The skin tone may be poor with loose or excess skin, stretch
marks and cellulite. Although these patients may not be good
candidates for liposuction, the buttocks lift (also known as
thighplasty) works well for patients who have a large amount of loose
skin.
There are various buttocks lift methods and procedures that can be
performed by Dr. Weisberg
/
Dr. Cederna and show positive success, based on your
specific goals, expectations and desires. Liposuction, implants and
lifts can all be used to sculpt the buttocks region into a desired
shape.
During the buttocks lift procedure, excess skin is removed and the
buttocks are raised to a higher position on the body with tighter skin
and texture. Performed concurrently with the lift, some patients
desire an augmentation that utilizes implants. This additional
procedure may be performed at the same time as the buttocks lift or at
a later date.
Buttocks lift surgery is often performed on patients who have also
undergone tummy tuck or
liposuction procedures. This helps to remove
excess fat from the body, but can sometimes leave behind loose skin
that has lost its elasticity. In some cases, patients desire a fuller
buttocks shape which can necessitate the use of implants.
Dr. Weisberg
/
Dr. Cederna uses quality implants made of durable material that cannot rupture,
spill or deflate. This procedure is called buttock augmentation.
After the procedure, patients are fitted with a body garment that aids
in the healing process and helps the skin to adapt to its new contour.
Patients are usually able to return to work about two weeks following
surgery, although some swelling may be noticeable for several months.
Although Dr. Weisberg /
Dr. Cederna makes incisions into the skin to perform the
procedure, scars are usually placed so that they are hidden well
beneath a swimsuit. There is an immediate difference in the shape of
the buttocks that is both dramatic and noticeable.
Any form of surgery carries an amount of uncertainty and risk, and
buttocks lift surgery is no exception. Fortunately, when performed by
a board certified plastic surgeon, the procedure is remarkably safe.
