Butt lift surgery is a relatively new procedure that enhances the volume, shape and the overall appearance of the backside. Dr. Liu and his team, highly skilled San Jose / San Francisco plastic surgeons, are well trained in a number of butt lift techniques, including the Brazilian butt lift.
Who is a candidate for butt lift surgery?
The best candidates for butt lift surgery are individuals who are experiencing the negative effects of aging, which is often characterized by loss of volume, elasticity and sagging skin. Also, San Mateo butt lift patients who have recently lost weight and/or undergone bariatric surgery and now wish to tighten their backside are eligible for one or more butt lift procedures, which can be combined to produce the most satisfactory results.
The Brazilian butt lift in San Mateo is another option for patients who may have a flat backside and wish to increase the size of their derriere and restore perkiness. Our San Francisco plastic surgeons perform several butt lift procedures, including:
- Butt lift and/or butt liposuction
- Brazilian butt lift (fat injections)
How is buttock lift surgery performed?
Butt lift and/or butt liposuction is a frequently performed procedure that significantly reduces excess skin and fat of the buttocks. The procedure involves an incision along the lower back area. Once the incision is made, we may utilize a liposuction device to remove the excess fat. Next, excess skin is removed and the remaining skin is tightened above the upper part of the buttocks.
Other Options
In order to achieve the most attractive backside possible, a large number of butt lift patients undergo additional body contouring procedures, including arm lift, post-bariatric body lift and thigh lift. Dr. Liu and his team, who are a top San Jose body makeover specialists, are committed to achieving the aesthetic goals of each Bay Area plastic surgery patient who seeks their services.

How is fat grafting different from other fillers?
Synthetic fillers are temporary. It is used to build lasting structural changes in the face and body. It is biocompatible, versatile, stable, long-lasting and natural appearing.
Is fat grafting always successful?
Successful fat grafting is dependent upon the nature of the fatty tissue, the methods of harvesting, transfer and placement, and the preparation of the patient. Fatty tissue is complex and delicate and easily damaged. It takes complete precision because of the millimeters involved in facial elements. Fat is very small and grafting is a painstaking procedure as it is injected in layers to adhere together.
Which is better if I want buttock augmentation: a buttock implant or fat grafting?
Buttock implants have the potential of moving or sliding in the pocket where they are placed. Fat grafting is particularly attractive to most people because you are taking fat from fatty regions of the body and using this to contour the buttocks. Best of both worlds! Once the fat lives in its new location, fluid collections and mobile implants are not a concern.
