Introduction

Butt Lift: Enhance the Shape and Proportions of Your Figure

Sagging in the butt is a surprisingly common issue for many individuals. There are several factors that can contribute to a loose, flat, or sagging behind, but that doesnā€™t mean it canā€™t be corrected. Dr. Chopra offers a solution in Washington, D.C. that can be customized for each individual to lift and tighten their buttocks.

A butt lift is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the shape of your buttocks, improve the proportions of your figure, and restore youthful curves. This surgery is particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced sagging skin or loss of volume in the buttocks due to aging, weight changes, or other factors.

What is a Butt Lift?

A butt lift, also known as a gluteal lift, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and tightens the skin and fatty tissues around the buttocks. This procedure helps create a smoother, more toned appearance and restores youthful contours, especially for individuals who have lost skin elasticity or have excess, sagging skin in the buttocks area.

Her calm expression is complemented by a relaxed poseā€”one arm draped over her head, the other near her face. Soft, warm light casts delicate shadows creating thin patterns on the floor. A subtle metallic bracelet adorns her wrist, and her legs are slightly spread, enhancing the serene and sensual mood. - Butt Lift in Fairfax, VA

Types of Butt Lift Procedures

There are several approaches to butt lift surgery, depending on your needs and desired outcome. These include:

  • In this procedure, the surgeon removes sagging skin and tightens the remaining skin and fatty tissue to lift the buttocks, resulting in a firmer and more shapely look.

  • For those looking to add volume and projection to their buttocks, butt augmentation is often combined with a traditional butt lift. This can be done through fat transfer (liposuction) or implants.

What Are the Benefits of a Butt Lift?

Loss of volume and elasticity can cause the buttocks to appear flat or droopy due to aging, weight loss, or genetics. Butt lifts restore a firmer, more sculpted appearance to the buttocks by removing excess skin and lifting sagging tissue. Many patients choose a butt lift to complement their weight loss journey, as it amplifies their results by eliminating loose skin.

Beyond aesthetics, a lifted, firmer silhouette allows clothing to fit and look better. This procedure can also be combined with liposuction or body contouring for a more balanced and proportional figure.

Who is a Good Candidate For a Butt Lift?

A butt lift may be suitable for individuals who:

  • Are in good overall health.
  • Have lost a significant amount of weight or have excess, sagging skin.
  • Have a stable weight and healthy skin with some elasticity.
  • Do not smoke, as smoking can delay healing.
  • Have realistic expectations for the outcome of the surgery.


A consultation with Dr. Chopra in Washington D.C. will help determine whether a butt lift is the right procedure for you, based on your goals and physical condition.

Whatā€™s the First Step?

Before undergoing a butt lift, you will have a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Chopra in his Washington D.C. office. During this consultation, your health will be evaluated, and your doctor will provide instructions on how to prepare for surgery. This may include stopping certain medications and avoiding smoking at least six weeks prior to the procedure.

What to Expect During Butt Lift Surgery

A butt lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia, ensuring that you are comfortable and unaware during the procedure. The surgeon will make incisions in discreet areas, such as along the upper curve of the buttocks or beneath the buttocks, to remove excess skin and tighten the remaining tissues. In some cases, fat may be transferred from other areas of your body to the buttocks for added volume, or silicone implants may be placed.

Butt Lift Recovery

You will need to rest and recover after surgery. Some redness, swelling, and discomfort are normal, but these symptoms will gradually improve as you heal. You may be prescribed pain medication to manage discomfort and instructions on how to care for the incisions and surgical drains.

A compression garment may be recommended to reduce swelling and support healing. Following Dr. Chopra’s instructions is essential to ensure a smooth recovery.

The recovery process for a butt lift varies from person to person but typically involves:

  • There will be swelling and bruising for the first few weeks.
  • Limited mobility during the initial recovery period.
  • Avoiding pressure on the buttocks for several weeks to prevent complications.

Patients generally return to normal activities after about 4 to 6 weeks, but it may take up to 6 months for the full effects of the surgery to be visible.

Long-Term Results

The results of a butt lift are long-lasting, particularly if you maintain a stable weight. Fat grafts used in a Brazilian Butt Lift can also provide permanent results, though the body may naturally absorb some fat over time.

Butt Lift vs. Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)

Although both the butt lift and Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) aim to improve the appearance of the buttocks, they are different procedures with distinct goals:

Butt Lift

A traditional butt lift focuses on removing excess skin and tightening the tissue to restore a firm and toned appearance. It does not add volume to the buttocks but works to reshape and lift them.

Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)

A Brazilian Butt Lift, on the other hand, is aimed at adding volume to the buttocks by using fat transfer. In this procedure, fat is liposuctioned from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or flanks, purified, and then re-injected into the buttocks to create fullness, projection, and enhanced shape.

While a butt lift restores youthful contours, the BBL is a more sculpting procedure focused on enhancing the size and projection of the buttocks.

How Much Does a Butt Lift Cost in Washington D.C.?

Facelift-how-much

The cost of a Butt Lift in Washington D.C. and Fairfax, VA starts at around $10,000 and goes up from there. The factors that play into the cost of the procedure include the amount of skin being removed, the complexity of the procedure, your surgeonā€™s experience and skillset, and the cost of facility, anesthesia, and medication fees. Since no plastic surgery procedure is a one-size-fits-all surgery, the best way to understand the cost for your butt lift is to have a consultation with Dr. Chopra, where he can break down the cost for your unique treatment and provide financing options should you need it.
