Shape Your Dream Figure: See the Stunning Before and After Results of Dr Joe Khoury's Expert Buttock Lift

What is a posterior Butt Lift?

A posterior butt lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure focused on enhancing the appearance of the buttocks. This transformative surgery aims to create a more toned and contoured look by removing excess skin and fat from the buttocks and then tightening and repositioning the remaining skin. Contrary to what some may think, a posterior butt lift isn’t primarily about adding volume; instead, it’s about sculpting the area to achieve a firmer and more uplifting posterior profile.

The procedure can be an excellent option for those looking to redefine their silhouette, particularly if they have been through significant weight changes that have left behind loose skin. It can be performed independently or alongside other body contouring surgeries, such as a tummy tuck or a lower body lift. For individuals desiring additional volume, a butt lift can be combined with augmentation through implants or fat transfer, which is a process that involves using the patient’s fat from other body areas to enhance the buttocks’ shape and size.

In summary, a posterior butt lift provides:

  • Removal of excess skin and fat for a toned appearance
  • Enhancement of the buttocks’ contour and firmness.

Dr. Joe Khoury’s approach to the posterior butt lift is to reposition the skin for a more youthful and elevated contour and ensure the overall results harmonize with the patient’s body and aesthetic goals. For those seeking comprehensive body contouring, the posterior butt lift can be a key component of a larger surgical plan that might also address the thighs, abdomen, and groin areas.

This procedure is not the same as a Brazilian butt lift which lifts and augments the buttocks with fat injections.

Here’s what Dr. Joe Khoury’s posterior butt lift offers:

  • Enhanced contouring and a more youthful appearance of the buttocks
  • Elimination of sagging skin to create a smoother, tighter texture
  • Improved body proportion.

Remember, a consultation with Dr. Khoury will help determine the best approach for your desired outcome and ensure optimal results.

What prerequisites are necessary before the surgery?

  • Your surgeon should provide information about the procedure and give you a review the possible risks and complications.
  • Ensure your BMI (Body Mass Index) is less than 35 kg/m2 to reduce post-operative complications.
  • Stop smoking at least 2 weeks before surgery.
  • Discontinue multivitamins, herbal supplements, and aspirin two weeks before surgery.
  • Schedule a pre-operative appointment with your surgeon to discuss the surgical plan.
  • Fill all post-operative prescriptions before the surgery.
  • Abstain from consuming any food or drink (NPO) after midnight on the night before surgery.

How does the recovery process typically unfold after a butt lift?

  • Immediate Post-Surgery: Right after the surgery, you’ll have some discomfort, swelling, and bruising around the treated area. Your surgeon may recommend pain medication and provide instructions on how to care for your incisions.
  • Initial Weeks: During the first few weeks, you’ll need to take it easy and avoid strenuous activities. Your surgeon may suggest wearing a compression garment to help with swelling and support the newly shaped buttocks.
  • Healing and Scar Management: Over time, the swelling will gradually reduce, and you’ll start to see the initial results of your butt lift. Your surgeon will guide you on how to care for any scars to help them fade and blend with your skin over time.
  • Return to Normal Activities: As you heal and the swelling subsides, you’ll be able to gradually resume your normal daily activities. Your surgeon will provide specific timelines and recommendations based on your individual recovery progress.
  • Long-Term Results: It’s important to note that the final results of a posterior butt lift may take several months to fully manifest. With proper care and follow-up appointments with your surgeon, you can expect to enjoy the long-term benefits of a lifted and more contoured buttock appearance.

How do you prepare ?

Preparation is key to ensure the best possible outcome if you’re planning a buttock lift with Dr. Joe Khoury. To prepare, you should start by maintaining a stable weight and a healthy diet, as significant fluctuations can affect the long-term results of your procedure. Dr. Khoury may recommend that you avoid smoking and steer clear of specific medications that could increase the risk of bleeding. It’s also recommended to arrange for someone to drive you home after the surgery and assist you during your recovery. Follow Dr. Khoury’s pre-operative instructions, including specific dietary adjustments or routine lab tests, in the lead-up to your scheduled procedure. By adhering closely to Dr. Khoury’s guidance, you’re setting the stage for a smoother experience and a quicker recovery.
