Our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Jack Peterson, offers patients seeking to enhance their buttocks two different procedures to achieve their body goals: the surgical buttock-lift and the non-surgical Brazilian Butt-Lift (BBL).
While both procedures are popular, many patients ask about which procedure would be the most beneficial for achieving the look they desire for their buttocks.
Buttock Lift: The buttock-lift procedure, also called a gluteal-lift, is typically ideal for individuals who have lost buttock volume and/or tone and have sagging or loose excess skin in the buttock region. Common causes of this include aging, significant weight fluctuations, massive weight loss, prolonged sun and genetics.
Brazilian Butt-Lift (BBL): The BBL is a fat-grafting procedure designed to use excess, unwanted fat from another body area to add volume and shape to the buttocks. Learn more about the BBL here.
A lower body lift combines several procedures to achieve results desired after massive weight loss. Each procedure is customized for every patient’s needs. Not only will a lower body lift improve your appearance but it can also improve your ability to move more freely and exercise more comfortably. Not to mention the enormous confidence boost!
An upper body lift combines several procedures to achieve a patient’s desired results. An upper body lift benefit patients who have undergone massive weight loss and is left with loose excess skin.
Losing weight can mean many positive changes in your life! You look better, you feel better and your clothes fit better in most instances. But weight loss can also bring new challenges as your body adjusts to its new size.
One of those challenges is loose, sagging skin in the thigh area. If this is your experience after significant weight loss or aging, Dr. Jack Peterson can help you achieve your body goals with a thigh lift procedure.
Thigh lift surgery is designed to reshape the thighs by surgically removing excess skin and fat, which leaves your thighs smooth, firm and better proportioned to your body.
Significant weight loss, aging and other factors can also affect the buttocks. Many patients who undergo thigh-lift procedures also choose to combine their procedure with a Brazilian Butt Lift treatment at the same time to restore lost volume and shape to the buttocks area.
