Buttock Liposuction quick links & FAQ's

Liposuction is the most commonly performed plastic surgery in the United States. This technique is used to reshape the body by permanently removing localized fat deposits. Generally, the suctioning is performed in the low back above the buttocks, the back of the thigh just below the buttock fold or on the hip at the side of the buttock. The goal is to create a natural rounded curve to the buttock that recalls the look of the slim, well-proportioned athletic body.

The tendency to accumulate fatty deposits on the buttocks may be inherited, and these deposits are often resistant to diet and exercise. Many patients become discouraged at having lost unwanted pounds without seeing a significant change in this area. The overall proportions of the body may be unbalanced, and the extra bulk can keep clothes from fitting well. In these cases, liposuction can successfully trim excess fat to bring better balance and symmetry to the body.

Liposuction is not a weight loss technique, and is not a cure for overall obesity. It is, however, a great way to get rid of those bulges that you cannot seem to get rid of any other way. If’ you’re considering buttocks liposuction, the following information will provide you with a good introduction to the procedure.

During the consultation, you’ll be able to talk to your doctor about the changes you would like to make in your appearance. He/she will explain the different options available to you, the procedure itself, its risks and limitations, and the costs.Your surgeon will begin with a physical examination to evaluate your overall weight, your skin and muscle tone, and the fat deposits in various parts of your body. He/she will also record your complete medical history, including any medications that you are currently taking. Your doctor will probably ask you questions about your diet & weight history.

Be sure to ask all the questions you have about the procedure, and ask to see photos of the doctor’s recent liposuction surgeries, before and after treatment. Also ask for, and follow up on, patient references. Learning everything you can about your options, risks and benefits is the key to making an informed decision. See Questions to ask your doctor below.

 How is buttocks liposuction performed?
Before surgery, the surgeon will mark the precise areas of the body where the fat is to be removed. An intravenous (IV) line will be inserted in a vein in your arm to make sure the fluid level in your body remains in balance. You or your doctor may opt for general anesthesia, or you may be local anesthesia and a sedative for relaxation.

During the procedure, the surgeon makes a tiny incision in the skin, typically in or near the buttock crease, and inserts a thin tube called a cannula into the fatty area. The cannula is used to break up the fat deposits and sculpt the area to the desired proportions. The unwanted fat is suctioned out with a powerful vacuum, leaving the skin, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels intact.
