Individuals who have recently lost a significant amount of weight suffer greatly from this condition. This is why Plastic Surgery Associates of Santa Rosa recommends butt lift surgery to address stretched tissue with skin tightening and removal to reveal a higher, tighter contour. There are quite a few benefits of receiving a surgical butt lift, like a plumper backside in a more lifted position with taut skin underneath. This promising skin tightening surgery performed by seasoned plastic surgeons Dr. Francisco Canales and Dr. Heather Furnas can be performed in conjunction with other body sculpting surgeries, such as an abdominoplasty, a thigh lift, or a lower body lift.

Ideal Candidates
Here’s A Look At Who’s An Ideal Candidate For A Surgical Butt Lift In Northern California

Candidates who have previously been pregnant might also notice a difference in the nature of the skin around their bottom.
Ideal candidates for a butt lift surgery at Plastic Surgery Associates of Santa Rosa usually seek out a surgical alternative when their diet and exercise efforts do not correct their misshapen bottom. Unfortunately, once the skin loses its elasticity, it’s incredibly challenging to lift the area without removing or tightening the skin. Dr. Canales and Dr. Furnas might recommend a butt lift to mature individuals with sagging skin or to young individuals with excess loose skin from weight loss.
How It Works
Surgical Technique

If you have chosen just the butt lift procedure, it will be performed on an outpatient basis the day of your surgery.
When combined with several surgeries, Dr. Canales and Dr. Furnas may recommend you be admitted to the surgical center for overnight observation for the beginning stages of your recovery. The surgery itself can be performed in around two hours while under general anesthesia. Incisions will be made beneath the crease of your buttocks where the thigh and bottom meet. Excess skin will be trimmed away so the skin remaining can be lifted to a more appealing position. Drains will likely need to be placed. it is sometimes recommended that liposuction should be added to the surgery for the best results. When the procedure is finalized, your incisions will be sewn closed or stapled and monitored in the recovery area by our skilled team of medical professionals.
What to Expect
Here’s what to expect with a surgical butt lift in Northern California.
After the Treatment
Following butt lift surgery, you can expect swelling and bruising around and on the surgical site, which could last a number of months. It may be uncomfortable to sit in a normal position for a while so we highly advise you heed the medical advice provided to you. It is of the utmost importance that you report to every follow-up appointment, and keep a close eye on your healing incisions. Drains will be removed in aboutone week.
Recovery
It is not uncommon for the buttocks to be uncomfortable for the first week. As the swelling decreases, you will start to notice your surgical results. For some, results may not be noticed for a full year after their surgery. After recovery, any scars that remain visible can typically be concealed beneath undergarments or a swimsuit. If you have concerns or questions, please contact Plastic Surgery Associates of Santa Rosa for help.
FAQ
How much does a surgical butt lift cost?
The price of a surgical butt lift will depend on your specific treatment plan. During your initial visit, we will talk about your needs and goals to create a customized plan that fits your budget. We will also go over any out-of-pocket costs and all your payment options.
What is the difference between a butt lift and liposuction?
A butt lift is a great treatment option for men and women who have loose skin under or around their buttocks. Liposuction does not address excess skin but can remove unwanted fat. If you have great skin laxity but are unhappy with the fullness of your buttocks, then liposuction may be a better option for you.
Will I have visible scarring?
Some scarring is expected, but our board-certified plastic surgeons will do their best to make incisions in inconspicuous areas to help minimize their appearance. Typically, Dr. Canales and Dr. Furnas will make incisions within the natural curve of the buttocks to hide scarring.
What happens if I gain weight after surgery?
Significant weight gain can negatively impact the results of your butt lift, which is why we recommend that you be at or near your goal weight prior to receiving this surgery. Keeping to a healthy diet and exercise plan can also help maintain your results.
Can I also get a fat transfer during a butt lift procedure?
Yes. Many patients opt for a fat transfer during their surgical butt lift to enhance their curves. However, you must have a sufficient amount of fat on your body in order to perform a transfer. During your initial consultation, be sure to talk to our team about all your cosmetic goals so we can create a tailored treatment plan.
