It’s no secret that things start to head south as we age, and the derrière is no exception. In the past, many surgical buttocks solutions have been conceived as “young person’s procedures,” but it’s actually an individual’s health, medical history and skin that are the defining factors for treatment eligibility-not candles on the cake. Additionally, each kind of surgery must be modified to fit the patient’s age and issues.
Skin sags as gravity takes its toll after years of weight gain and loss, and fat begins to atrophy as well, causing the posterior to appear flat. A buttocks lift or lower bodylift (which can include the abdomen and thighs, too) can improve or remove excess skin and reshape your behind. The procedure tightens the skin and creates a younger-looking shape and contour. Side effects include temporary bruising, swelling, tightness, asymmetry and dimpling. Scars are a trade-off of this procedure, but they can usually be placed in a pattern that can be concealed by a bathing suit bottom.
