What is buttock surgery?
Discover the different buttock surgery procedures:
Aesthetic buttock surgery is a medical procedure designed to modify the structure of the buttocks and reshape them to reshape your silhouette. This type of operation can, for example, correct buttock volume that is considered too large, lift sagging buttocks or fill out flat buttocks. Today, numerous medical techniques and innovations make it easy to modify the appearance of the buttocks non-invasively. Lipofilling, for example, is a frequently performed procedure.
Butt lift
To remedy sagging buttocks, often caused by aging or weight loss, consider a buttock lift. This will remove excess skin, lift the buttocks and tighten them. A variation of this technique is also used in the case of "oil-drop" buttocks. This surgical procedure takes place in the operating room.
Lipostructure
Also known as lipofilling or brazilian lift, lipostructure is indicated for flat buttocks. This procedure involves reinjecting fat removed from a part of the body into the buttocks. The result is a fuller, more natural-looking buttock. Buttock augmentation requires general anesthesia.

Buttock surgery: before the operation
For a buttock reshaped to your expectations, it's important to choose the most suitable surgical technique. For example, if you exercise a great deal, implants may not always be the best option.
That's why Clinique du Lac's aesthetic surgeons spend a great deal of time with you, identifying your expectations and understanding your lifestyle and environment, before proposing the best solution.
It is strongly recommended to stop smoking before the operation, and to avoid taking anticoagulants.
Buttock surgery: type of anesthesia and hospitalization conditions
General anesthesia is preferred for this type of operation.
However, hospitalization conditions depend on the surgical technique chosen.
- The time required for liposuction varies from 30 minutes to 2 hours, and hospitalization is not usually necessary.
- Lipofilling procedures are generally performed on an outpatient basis, or require a 24-hour hospital stay. In most cases, it lasts between 2 and 3 hours.
Buttock surgery: the procedure
Before the operation, a Clinique du Lac specialist will take the time to explain each stage of the procedure to you.
- If lipofilling is chosen, the surgical expert will remove fat cells from the patient's body and reintroduce them into the buttocks. If the buttocks are too voluminous, the surgeon will suck out the fat from the buttocks and lower back to harmonize the silhouette.
