What is Buttock Augmentation/Lift? 

Buttock augmentation or lift is a cosmetic surgery that improves the shape, size, or firmness of the buttocks. It can involve adding fat from another part of your body (called a Brazilian Butt Lift or BBL) or using silicone implants to create more volume. A buttock lift focuses on removing loose or sagging skin and lifting the area for a smoother, tighter look. People choose this procedure to enhance body proportions, boost confidence, or restore shape after weight loss or aging. The goal is to create a natural-looking, balanced contour that fits your body.

What is the suitable age group for Buttock Augmentation/Lift?

Buttock augmentation or lift is generally suitable for healthy adults aged 18 and above, once the body has fully developed. Most patients fall between the ages of 20 to 50, but there is no strict upper age limit as long as the person is medically fit. The ideal candidate is someone with realistic expectations, stable body weight, and good skin tone. Teens under 18 are rarely recommended for this procedure unless there's a specific medical reason and parental consent. Overall, age matters less than physical readiness and emotional maturity.

How long does recovery take for Buttock Augmentation/Lift?

Recovery after a buttock augmentation or lift usually takes about 2 to 3 weeks for light activities, with full recovery taking 6 to 8 weeks. During the first few days, patients may feel soreness, swelling, and tightness in the area. Sitting directly on the buttocks is usually limited for at least 2 weeks a special cushion or alternate positions are recommended. Most people can return to desk work after about 10 to 14 days, but strenuous activities, including workouts, should be avoided for at least 6 weeks. Final results become more visible as swelling gradually goes down over a few months.

Tests Requirements

Before undergoing buttock augmentation or lift, several medical tests are required to ensure you're healthy enough for surgery and to minimize any risks. Common tests include a Complete Blood Count (CBC) to check for infection or anemia, blood sugar levels, and thyroid function tests to rule out any underlying metabolic issues. A coagulation profile (PT, APTT, INR) is essential to ensure proper blood clotting, while liver and kidney function tests help assess how well your body will handle anesthesia and medications. Additional evaluations like an ECG and chest X-ray may be needed, especially if you’re over 35 or have existing health concerns. Routine screenings for HIV, Hepatitis B and C, and a urine test are also standard. For women of reproductive age, a pregnancy test may be required. These tests help ensure a safe and smooth surgical experience.
