Arrange a consultation

With age, weight loss, or genetic predisposition, the buttocks can lose firmness and volume. A buttock lift (buttock tuck, buttock lift, or buttock lift) corrects excess skin and sagging tissue to achieve a well-shaped, toned silhouette. Using modern techniques, we can help you achieve a natural shape with harmonious proportions.

Consultation

In a personal consultation, we will discuss your wishes, whether the treatment is suitable for you, clarify the options for buttock lift surgery, and explain the exact procedure. Schedule your appointment. online or under T +41 44 397 38 60.

Preparation

Blood-thinning medications should be discontinued before the procedure. A healthy diet, normal physical activity, and abstinence from nicotine will help ensure uncomplicated wound healing.

Procedure of the operation

The buttock lift is performed under general anesthesia by two surgeons to minimize the operating time for you. We remove excess skin and tissue through a spindle-shaped incision and tighten the tissue upwards. The scars are placed as inconspicuously as possible – either along the buttock crease or in the upper buttock area. Drains drain the wound secretions, and compression garments are fitted. If there are fat pads in the thigh area, the lift can be achieved with a Liposuction combine to further optimize the body contour.

Aftercare

Initially, the tightened skin will feel swollen and numb – this is completely normal and will subside soon. You will typically stay in the hospital for one day. After the procedure, you should wear special compression garments for six weeks to support healing. Prolonged sitting should be avoided during the initial period.

Risks

As with any surgical procedure, risks such as swelling, asymmetry, or impaired wound healing exist. Careful aftercare and adherence to all recommendations help minimize complications.

Costs

The costs depend on the extent of the procedure and the chosen technique. You will receive a precise estimate during your consultation. Click here to schedule an appointment.
