Buttock Lift Surgery in Perth

What does the surgery involve?

​

A buttock lift involves the removal of excess skin from the buttock and moving or reshaping the remaining tissue. This will reduce the size and tighten the skin, creating a more contoured appearance. 

Depending on the patient’s desired surgical outcome some fatty tissue may also be removed to reduce size or fat injections added to increase size.

This surgery is common in patients who have excess skin after weight loss or liposuction, to improve elasticity from ageing and patients with fatty deposits concentrated in this area of the body.
