Overview
If saggy, excessive skin in the buttocks area is keeping you from your dream derriere, then it’s time to do something about it. The best solution for this issue is often buttock lift surgery since it removes that unwanted loose and excessive skin around the buttocks. Once our Inland Empire board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Childers, removes the skin, he will stitch the skin back together and lift the buttocks higher. As a result, a patient can enjoy a perkier, more youthful butt. Not only are the buttocks lifted higher, but the overall butt has an improved shape.
Surgical Technique
During a traditional butt lift procedure, incisions will be made under the butt cheeks along the natural fold where the butt meets the upper thighs. Any hanging, loose skin will be trimmed away and the remaining skin and underlying tissue will be pulled tight to a new position. The incisions are closed with sutures. Once the incisions heal, the scars left behind will be somewhat inconspicuous because of where they reside. It is important to note that liposuction is sometimes a part of this procedure if excess fat is also a concern.
During/After Surgery
Butt lift surgery is an outpatient procedure that is performed under general anesthesia at an accredited surgical facility. The entire surgery typically takes about 2 hours to complete. Swelling and bruising will be evident for the first several months, but once this subsides patients are usually able to see the surgical results. It could take from 6 months up to a full year for the final results to take shape.

I was born with a deviated septum and because of this, it is near impossible for me to breathe out of my nose. Well, as of today, that is no longer the case! I have been to three different ENT Doctors, all of whom did not want to operate to help me breathe saying my nose was "really messed up". After an initial nose surgery 3 years ago with a doubting surgeon that surgery could work, nothing changed. Then finally coming to see Dr. Childers, he seemed confident that he could help, and he did! Thank you Dr. Childers for your willingness to try and give me a functioning nose! An outstanding surgeon!

Frequently Asked Questions
Butt Lift or Lipo?
For patients who have hanging and loose skin or wrinkles under the buttocks, a butt lift will be necessary. Liposuction is a fat removal procedure. If the skin tone and laxity around the buttocks is healthy, and excess fat is the problem, liposuction may be recommended.
Weight Gain After Surgery?
Weight gain could compromise your new, enhanced figure. For the best long-term results, patients should maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine.
Will Scars be Visible?
Scarring is a part of this procedure. However, an experienced cosmetic surgeon will work to minimize the scarring as much as possible. During surgery, the incisions are usually placed within the natural folds on the underside of the buttocks, which helps keep them inconspicuous. For the most part, the scars from this procedure will be easily concealed with undergarments or a bathing suit.
