What is a Buttock Lift?
A Buttock Lift encompasses several specialized procedures aimed at reshaping and enhancing the buttocks. The right approach depends on your goals and desired outcome, and every treatment plan is tailored to the patient’s anatomy, preferences, and desired results.
Traditional Buttock Lift
A traditional Buttock Lift is ideal for individuals who have experienced loss of firmness or volume due to aging, weight loss, or genetics. During this procedure, Dr. Gallagher and Dr. Goulart remove excess skin and tissue, then lift and tighten the remaining tissue to create a firmer, more youthful contour.
Brazilian Buttock Lift (BBL)
This popular procedure uses your own fat to enhance shape and volume. Fat is harvested through liposuction from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or hips, then purified and strategically injected into the buttocks to achieve beautiful, natural-looking curves. This technique enhances the buttocks while improving surrounding areas through targeted fat removal.
Buttock Liposuction

- Boosted Confidence – Feel comfortable and attractive in fitted clothing and swimwear.
By addressing your unique concerns, Buttock Lift procedures offer a powerful way to enhance your silhouette and boost confidence in your appearance.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Buttock Lift procedures are performed as outpatient procedures under general anesthesia and generally take two to four hours.
Dr. Gallagher and Dr. Goulart strategically place incisions to minimize visible scarring, typically along the upper buttock or waistline. Excess skin and tissue are removed, and the remaining tissue is lifted and tightened.
Fat is harvested through liposuction from donor areas such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, or hips. The fat is purified, then carefully injected into multiple layers of the buttocks to create the desired shape, volume, and contour.
Our surgeons’ meticulous technique and artistic eye ensure results that look balanced, natural, and beautifully sculpted.
Recovery & Downtime
Recovery from Buttock Lift procedures requires patience and proper care to ensure optimal results.
Immediately After Surgery
You may experience swelling, bruising, and moderate discomfort, which are managed with prescribed pain medication. For BBL patients, special cushions will be provided to avoid direct pressure on the buttocks while sitting. Compression garments support healing and reduce swelling.
First Few Weeks
Most patients can return to light activities within 2 to 3 weeks. Avoid sitting directly on the buttocks for 2 to 4 weeks (BBL patients may need to avoid this for up to 6 weeks). Swelling will gradually subside. Avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and activities that strain the treatment area.
Recovery Process
Initial swelling resolves within a few weeks, but subtle improvements continue as your body settles into its new contours over the following months. Most patients return to work within 2 to 3 weeks and resume full activities, including exercise, after 6 to 8 weeks. Dr. Gallagher and Dr. Goulart provide detailed post-operative instructions to ensure smooth recovery and optimal results.
Buttock Lift Results
The results of Buttock Lift procedures are dramatic and long-lasting. Once swelling subsides, patients notice buttocks that are:
- Fuller and more shapely
- Lifted and youthful
- Smooth and contoured
- Proportionate and balanced with the body
Scarring is minimal across all Buttock Lift procedures. Traditional lifts have strategically placed scars that fade and are concealed by clothing, while BBL and liposuction leave very small marks. With proper weight maintenance, results last many years. BBL patients should note that some fat may be reabsorbed initially, but the remaining volume is permanent.
Who is a Good Candidate?
You may be a good candidate for a Buttock Lift if you:
- Desire enhanced volume, shape, lift, or improved contours in the buttock area
- Maintain a stable weight and are in good overall health
- Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
- Are a non-smoker or willing to quit before and after surgery
- Are committed to following post-operative care instructions
For a Brazilian Buttock Lift, adequate fat in donor areas is needed for transfer. During your consultation, Dr. Gallagher or Dr. Goulart will assess your body, review your goals, and recommend the Buttock Lift approach best suited to achieve your desired results.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a traditional Buttock Lift and a Brazilian Buttock Lift?
Is a Brazilian Buttock Lift painful?
Most patients experience moderate discomfort during the first few days of recovery, which is well-controlled with prescribed pain medication. The liposuction areas may feel sore, and sitting can be uncomfortable initially. Most discomfort subsides within the first 2 to 3 weeks.
How long do BBL results last?
Once the initial swelling resolves and the transferred fat settles (typically 3 to 6 months), the remaining fat is permanent. Some fat may be reabsorbed by the body in the first few months, but the volume that remains will last for years with proper weight maintenance.
Can I sit after a Brazilian Buttock Lift?
For the first 2 to 3 weeks, you should avoid sitting directly on your buttocks to allow the transferred fat to establish blood supply. After this period, you can gradually resume sitting, often using a special cushion. Dr. Gallagher or Dr. Goulart will provide specific guidance based on your recovery.
Can I combine a Buttock Lift with other procedures?
Yes. Many patients combine Buttock Lift procedures with tummy tuck, thigh lift, breast lift, or other body contouring procedures for comprehensive transformation. Dr. Gallagher or Dr. Goulart will discuss your goals during your consultation and recommend the best treatment plan to achieve your desired results.
