What is a butt lift?
If you don't want to look your age (or older), it's important to have a firm, lifted butt. The elasticity of your skin and the shape of your butt are determined by your weight, genes, and age, but plastic surgery can help you defy these factors for smooth, youthful curves. Butt lift surgery (medically known as a gluteoplasty) removes excess skin from the buttocks area, then lifts the tissue and muscles for a better shape and position. Houston area patients can enhance their buttocks with a buttock lift by board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Rafi Bidros. By removing the excess skin and fat, you can have smoother curves and a more youthful position with butt lift surgery.
Am I A Candidate For A Butt Lift?
Candidates for a butt lift surgery at MyBodyMD Plastic Surgery typically seek out a surgical alternative when their diet and exercise efforts do not correct their misshapen behind. Any time skin loses its elasticity, it is very hard to reshape the backside without either surgical tightening or removing the skin. Dr. Bidros could recommend a butt lift to older individuals with mature sagging skin, or to younger patients who have recently lost a significant amount of weight. Patients who have had one or more pregnancies might also see a difference in the firmness of the skin around their bottom.
What are the Benefits of a Butt Lift?
When loose skin in the buttocks makes you feel self-conscious, a butt lift can provide a more toned and youthful appearance you love. Some benefits of this procedure include:
- Less sagging: The buttocks region should look tighter and more shapely once the excess skin is removed.
- Better proportions: A butt lift addresses the lower body so it seems more balanced and symmetrical.
- Improved confidence: Feel great in swimsuits and other kinds of form-fitting clothing after a butt lift procedure.
- Long-lasting results: Outcomes should last for years if patients maintain a healthy lifestyle and weight.
how is a butt lift performed?
During your surgery, the patient is placed on their stomach to allow Dr. Bidros a better view and accessibility to the buttocks area. Dr. Bidros will make an incision above the buttocks, from hip to hip, then remove excess skin and fat. Next, Dr. Bidros will adjust the position of the tissue and muscle to elevate the buttocks and give it a more youthful shape. Liposuction may be performed in combination with the buttock lift to remove unwanted fat to contour the hips and back.
MyBodyMD Reviews
Dr. Bidros is absolutely phenomenal! I was SO impressed with his professionalism and knowledge. The office was super organized, clean and efficiently run. Michelle, Mandy, Jackie and Connie are all rock stars.!!! They get things done and are so incredible at their jobs, not to mention classy and beautiful. I will recommend Dr. Bidros to everyone. So easy to talk to and understand. Thank you!!!
Dr Bidros and his entire staff is wonderful, they made me feel so comfortable the very 1st time I meet them, he is the best plastic surgeon I have ever meet and would recommend him highly to anyone needing plastic surgery, his work is awesome.
Dr. Bidros and his staff are truly wonderful. After three bouts with cancer, he brought me through in the most beautiful way. Happier than I’ve been in many years, and I will recommend him every chance I get. He has a wonderful team with him, and they deserve every bit of my thankful respect. I am lucky to have a team of doctors I love, but their staff, not so much. Not so here. It is a joy every step of the beautiful way with his staff, his work, and his practice. I feel blessed my doctors put him at the top of my list. He is helping me feel pretty again!
I would give Dr Bidros a 100 start review if possible. This is my 3 surgery with him each of them great results and after care. His team is awesome all the girls are very sweet. I am a happy patient. Love Dr Bidros he is a great surgeon and person. Would highly recommend to friends and family. Could not ask for a better Dr.
I had my breast reduction with Dr Bidros after doing 6 other consultations. I choose Dr Bidros because of his honesty when answering my questions, addressing ALL of my concerns and even his nurses and office staff are respectful which is HARD to find unfortunately. Fast forward to the day of my surgery, Dr Bidros came in, got me ready, and even reminded that I’m in great hands. After surgery Dr Bidros spoke with my family and kept them in the loop about my care. During my healing process I had an issue, called the office and was able to speak with Dr Bidros which is different from leaving a message and getting a call back within 24 BUSINESS hours especially after having surgery. His bedside manner is also HARD to find!! If you’re searching for a surgeon who’s a perfectionist with amazing office staff give them a try. I searched for months until I found Dr Bidros and I hope this review can help someone who searched long and hard like I did.

Frequently Asked Questions
What other procedures can lift my butt?
The buttock lift may be performed with other plastic surgery procedures, as determined by you and Dr. Bidros. For example, a tummy tuck may be done at the same time if the buttock lift is performed as part of a post-weight loss surgery. A butt lift is also commonly combined with liposuction and a lower body lift.
What about a Brazilian Butt Lift?
Despite its name, a Brazilian butt lift is not really a butt lift. Brazilian butt lifts increase the volume of the buttocks by adding fat taken from another area of the patient’s body. A Brazilian butt lift does not address excess skin or raise the position of the butt. A Brazilian butt lift (fat transfer to the buttocks) can be combined with a butt lift to optimize the patient's results.
Should I get Butt Augmentation?
Dr. Bidros may suggest adding buttock augmentation using fat grafting to restore volume to the buttocks along with your butt lift. An augmentation plus lift will give you a fuller shape, remove excess skin, and give your rear a more youthful position.
how long is recovery after butt lift surgery?
The buttock lift is usually performed as an outpatient procedure in an accredited surgical facility with the patient under general anesthesia. On average, patients will return to work in 1 - 2 weeks after their surgery. Bruising and swelling will be present for approximately 2 - 3 weeks. To avoid stretching your incision, you must refrain from strenuous physical activity for at least 4 - 6 weeks or until you are given permission by your doctor. Dr. Bidros will give each patient specific instructions and helpful tips to follow before and after their surgery.
