Butt Lift

The buttocks sag for many reasons, the most important of which are genetic factors, rapid weight loss, sagging skin, excess fat, loss of skin elasticity with age, and hormonal changes in the woman.

The main objective of this operation is to tighten the skin of the buttocks and thighs only, however, depending on the situation; the surgeon may need to perform a simple circular liposuction in all directions, and a complete liposuction between the thighs.

 In this kind of operations, the simple cases require transverse incisions, while the advanced cases require a long T-shaped incision of the inner thigh. 

Types of thigh lift surgery:

- Inner thigh lift.

- Outer thigh lift.

- Mini thigh lift.

- Vertical thigh lift.

This is the most commonly requested operation. It is performed to treat sagging between the thighs by making an incision from the top of the thigh towards the knee or towards the back of the thigh area.

2- Outer thigh lift:

   It is an operation that is performed to treat external sagging of the thighs through an incision that reaches the lower back and hip.

3- Mini thigh lift:

This operation is done by tightening only the upper part of the thighs, and making fewer incisions than in other types of thigh lift.

4- Vertical thigh lift:

It is a special operation for advanced cases of sagging buttocks but its disadvantage is that it leaves a longitudinal T-shaped scar on the side of the inner thigh, and for this reason, this operation is considered a last option and is generally not recommended.
