Who is a proper candidate for the butt lift procedure?
The ideal candidate for butt lift surgery is someone who is in good physical shape, with firm skin and realistic expectations. The procedure can be performed on patients of any age, but it is typically recommended for patients over the age of 18. The procedure can be especially beneficial for patients who have lost a significant amount of weight, as it can help to improve the appearance of loose or sagging skin. Additionally, patients who are unhappy with the appearance of their buttocks due to genetics or other factors may also be good candidates for butt lift surgery. It is important to note that butt lift surgery is not an alternative to weight loss; rather, it is meant to improve the contour and appearance of the buttocks after weight loss has occurred.
What happens during the butt lift procedure?
The butt lift procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia. During the procedure, the surgeon will make incisions in strategic locations around the buttocks, often along the natural creases or lines of the skin. Through these incisions, he will then carefully remove excess skin and fat, reshaping and contouring the area as necessary. In some cases, Dr. Fernando Ovalle may also place implants in order to further improve the appearance of the buttocks. Once the desired results have been achieved, the incisions will be closed with sutures or surgical tape and the procedure is completed.
What is recovery like after butt lift surgery?
Recovery from butt lift surgery can vary depending on the individual patient. However, most patients can expect to experience some degree of bruising and swelling afterward. Following the aftercare instructions will reduce the risk of complications and infection while allowing you to recover faster.
