There are 2 common operations performed in the buttock area., buttock lift and buttock implant. Buttock implants are usd to fillup the buttock area and accentuate the natural curves of the buttock. They are similar to a breast implant but specifically shaped and designed for the buttock region. They come in various sizes and shapes that should be customized for you. The surgery for placement requires 2 hours of general or spinal anesthetic.and you are generally an outpatient procedure. Buttock lift is a different operation. Buttock lifts do not increase the size of the buttocks like implants do but lift the sagging buttock. Liposuction can be added to shape the buttock at the same time. The lift is performed through an incision that is above the buttocks through which the underlying tissue is undermined and lifted. Excess tissue is then discarded. This gives a more shapely appearance to the buttock area.
