Your Premier Plastic & Cosmetic Surgeons
Sagging skin and loss of firmness in the buttocks can occur due to aging, weight fluctuations, or significant weight loss. These changes often lead to a flattened or deflated appearance, which can affect both comfort and confidence, especially when clothing no longer fits as it once did.
A butt lift is a specialized body contouring procedure that removes loose skin, tightens underlying tissue, and elevates the buttocks to create a firmer, more sculpted shape. Unlike procedures that add volume, a traditional butt lift focuses on reshaping and lifting rather than enlarging the area. At Plastic Surgery Specialists of South Florida in Hollywood, FL, we customize each butt lift to enhance your natural proportions and restore balance to your lower body. Whether performed alone or combined with liposuction or fat grafting, our experienced team uses advanced techniques to achieve elegant, smooth contours that align with your goals.
A butt lift, or gluteal lift, is a plastic surgery procedure designed to elevate and reshape the buttocks by removing excess skin and tightening the underlying tissue—most often following major weight loss, aging, or natural skin laxity. It is one of several body contouring surgeries used to restore smoother, firmer contours and enhance lower body proportions.
Butt lifts are especially beneficial for individuals experiencing sagging skin, loss of definition, or discomfort in the buttock area—issues that typically do not improve through exercise or weight loss alone. By lifting the tissue and eliminating loose skin, the procedure improves both appearance and ease of movement.
Common treatment areas for a butt lift focus on recontouring the buttocks and surrounding zones, typically including:
A successful butt lift starts with careful planning and preparation. In the weeks leading up to your procedure, you may need lab testing, medication adjustments, and specific instructions regarding supplements that could affect your recovery. If you smoke, quitting well ahead of surgery is crucial, as it can significantly impact your body’s ability to heal.
At Plastic Surgery Specialists of South Florida, we’ll guide you through each step with clear, customized instructions. Before the procedure, be sure to prepare your home recovery area, pick up any necessary prescriptions, and arrange for a trusted person to help you during the initial days post-surgery.
Our team is dedicated to making sure you feel informed, supported, and fully ready for your experience—so you can focus on healing and enjoying your renewed confidence.

No, they are different procedures. A traditional butt lift focuses on removing excess skin and lifting sagging tissue for a firmer contour, often after weight loss. A BBL involves transferring fat from other areas of the body to add volume and enhance shape.
Butt lift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia to ensure patient comfort and safety throughout the procedure. Your anesthesia plan will be discussed during your pre-op consultation based on your health history and the extent of surgery.
