Buttock Lift

There are many advantages to having an Ottawa Buttock lift when performed by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon:

• The procedure is safer than other surgeries, including silicone butt implants.
• The effects look natural.
• The effects can last a long time.
• It can boost your self-esteem.
• Your clothes may fit better or more comfortably

A Buttock Lift in Ottawa might be the right choice for you if you:

• Aren’t a smoker
• Have lost a large amount of weight and your weight has been stable for at least 6 to 12 months
• Are overweight and haven’t been able to lose a large amount of weight through physical activity and changes in your diet
• Have a healthy weight but want a dramatic improvement in the appearance of your lower body
• Have a healthy weight but you’ve had fat removed through liposuction and you have loose skin
• Have no underlying medical conditions.
• Have a body mass index lower than 32

A buttock lift is done in a hospital or an outpatient surgical facility. During a buttock lift, you’ll be made comfortable with the aid of a general anesthetic — which puts you in a sleep-like state.

A tube will be placed into your bladder to collect urine. Your legs will be placed in devices called sequential compression boots, which are used to prevent blood clotting during and after surgery.

During the procedure, your plastic surgeon will make an incision along the lower back, from hip to hip. The excess skin below the incision is pulled up, lifting the buttocks. Extra skin and fat are then removed. You’ll be given an antibiotic to reduce the risk of infection.

 The procedure typically takes an average of 2 to 3 hours. However, it can take up to six hours if the surgery is combined with other procedures, such as a body lift.

 After a buttock lift, your incision will likely be covered with surgical dressing. One or more drains are typically placed under the wound and close to the incision line to drain any excess blood or fluid. Your healthcare team will help you walk as early as the first day after a buttock lift to help prevent the formation of blood clots.

 You’ll likely feel moderate pain, which will initially be controlled by intravenous pain medication. Drains might be left in place for several weeks after surgery. You’ll be shown how to empty and care for your drains.

 You might need to continue taking an antibiotic after your buttock lift. You might also need to take medication to prevent blood clots after surgery. After a few days, you’ll begin wearing a supportive or compression gButtockent for the next few weeks. This will help prevent fluid buildup and provide support while you heal. Scar management might include the use of silicone sheeting, scar cream, and massage. The appearance of your scar will improve over time.

 For the first months after a buttock lift, you’ll need to take care when moving, increasing your activity level slowly. You’ll need to avoid positions that strain your incision line to prevent the wound from reopening. Your healthcare provider will provide instructions. In addition, follow-up visits with your provider will be needed.
