Buttock Lift Surgery in Williamsburg & Newport News, VA

A buttock lift (also called a gluteal lift) is a cosmetic procedure designed to improve the shape, contour, and firmness of the buttocks by removing excess skin and tightening the underlying tissues. Many women and men choose a buttock lift after significant weight loss, aging, or changes in skin elasticity that leave the buttocks sagging or deflated. Unlike procedures that only add volume, a true buttock lift specifically addresses loose skin and drooping tissue, repositioning the remaining tissue higher on the buttock for a more youthful and sculpted posterior silhouette.

During a buttock lift, excess skin and fat are excised and the remaining tissue is lifted and secured in a higher position to enhance the overall contour and tone of the buttock area. This surgery can be performed on its own or combined with other body contouring procedures such as liposuction to refine adjacent areas, improve waist definition, or smooth transitions between the lower back, hips, and thighs. In some patients who also want increased volume, fat grafting techniques (similar to a Brazilian Butt Lift) may be incorporated.

Ideal candidates for a buttock lift are healthy adults with stable weight, good overall health, and concerns related to excess skin, sagging, or poor contour of the buttocks. Because the procedure involves repositioning soft tissues, it offers long‑lasting improvement in contour when patients maintain a stable weight and follow their surgeon’s recovery instructions. Recovery typically includes wearing compression garments, managing swelling and bruising, and gradually increasing activity over several weeks. Most patients see noticeable enhancement in shape and firmness as swelling subsides and tissues settle into their new contour.
