Buttock Lift Surgery Baton Rouge, Louisiana

At Taylor Theunissen Plastic Surgery, buttock lift surgery, also known as gluteoplasty, is a specialized cosmetic procedure designed to lift and tighten the skin around the buttocks area. Dr. Theunissen removes excess skin and repositions surrounding tissue to create a more aesthetically pleasing and youthful body contour. It's important to note that a butt lift differs from a Brazilian butt lift, which typically adds volume using fat injections.

Dr. Taylor Theunissen has helped numerous patients enhance the appearance of their buttocks. He works closely with each patient to understand their expectations and develop a personalized treatment plan for optimal results.

The best candidates for a butt lift procedure are:

Nonsmokers in generally good health

Those with normal weight but skin elasticity issues after liposuction

Buttock lift surgery may not be recommended for individuals who:

Have heart disease, diabetes, or other chronic health conditions

Dr. Theunissen's Approach to Butt Lift Surgery

Dr. Theunissen begins with pre-operative lab tests to assess each patient's health status. Patients are advised to avoid anti-inflammatory drugs, aspirin, and herbal supplements prior to surgery. The surgeon develops a customized treatment approach based on the patient's buttock condition and desired results.

Surgical Technique

During the buttock enhancement surgery at Theunissen Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, Dr. Theunissen makes an incision along the lower back from hip to hip. Excess skin below the incision is pulled up to lift the buttocks, and extra fat is removed to achieve the desired contour. The procedure typically takes 2-2.5 hours to complete, and antibiotics are administered to reduce infection risk.

Post-Surgery Care and Recovery

After surgery, incision sites are covered with surgical dressing, and drains may be inserted to remove excess fluids. Patients are encouraged to walk as early as the first day post-surgery to prevent blood clots. Moderate pain is managed with medication, and patients must follow all post-operative instructions carefully. Supportive garments are worn for several weeks, and drains are typically removed after 7-10 days.

Butt Lift Recovery Process

Recovery from buttock lift surgery is generally swift, with most patients able to resume light activities within a few days. Bruising and swelling usually resolve within two weeks. While initial results are visible soon after surgery, final results may take up to six months to fully develop. Recovery time may be longer for procedures involving larger incisions.
