Buttock Lift – New Method

The relaxation of the buttock area is a natural aging process, as well as a result of weight loss in younger people. For the older patients, the main causes are the constantly declining skin turgor due to smaller collagen and elastin fiber production, the declining muscle tissue and the degeneration of the fat tissue.

All these changes lead gradually to buttock fall, which lose their tightness and juvenescence. As a result, the plastic surgery has dealt with this problem by removing the relaxed skin, making the incisions in the more cryptic areas. As fashion evolved, the incisions were moving higher and higher, in order to remain under the underwear. Yet, the biggest problem is always the gradually downward scar displacement. There is a dilemma, in cases where there is a small fall and little skin excess. Does the surgeon make an incision and a scar in a minor problem? Those two issues were not solved up until now.

Today, with special silicone grids and with only a small horizontal incision of 5 cm in the waist can the buttocks be lifted when the problem is minor. The buttock regains its younger shape and it becomes more attractive when bending. The elastic grid follows the body movements. Moreover, the grid placement, when the necessary incision to remove the excess skin is made, ensures the future of the operation and that the incision does not decline.

The buttock lift with the grid technique in a mild case is a simple procedure that is not more complicated than that of the liposuction. The patient does not stay in hospital and gets out a few hours after the operation. She must wear an elastic stay for 20 days, as in the liposuction.
