Gluteal Lift / Autoaugmentation
Restore a firmer, more youthful contour with natural volume enhancement
Schedule a ConsultationWhat Is a Gluteal Lift / Autoaugmentation?
A Gluteal Lift with Autoaugmentation is an advanced body contouring procedure designed to lift and reshape sagging buttocks while using the patient's own tissue to add natural volume and projection. This technique is ideal for patients who have experienced changes due to significant weight loss, aging, or genetics, and desire both a lifted and fuller appearance without implants.
How Is It Performed?
Our surgeons perform this procedure with precision, tailoring the approach to each patient's unique anatomy and goals:
Incision Placement
An incision is strategically placed along the upper buttock area, often concealed within the natural contour of the waistline.
Tissue Lifting & Autoaugmentation
Excess skin is removed and the underlying tissue is repositioned and secured to create natural volume and projection. This autoaugmentation technique uses your own tissue to enhance buttock shape without implants.
Contouring
The underlying tissue is reshaped to create a smoother, firmer buttock contour with improved projection and a more youthful, rounded appearance.
Closure
Incisions are carefully closed in layers to minimize scarring and support long-lasting results.
This procedure can be performed on its own or combined with other body contouring procedures for comprehensive results.
Gluteal Lift Pricing
The cost of a Gluteal Lift / Autoaugmentation varies based on the extent of lifting required and whether it's combined with other procedures. Pricing is determined during your consultation.
The Drainless Aesthetic Institute offers several payment options including cash, check, and credit cards. Financing options are available!
Frequently Asked Questions
A buttock lift removes excess skin and tissue from the buttocks and upper thighs to lift, tighten, and reshape the area. It is different from a Brazilian Butt Lift, which adds volume using fat transfer. A buttock lift focuses on contouring and skin removal.
No. A traditional buttock lift removes excess skin to tighten the area, while a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) uses your own fat, harvested via liposuction, to add volume and shape. Some patients combine both for full lower body contouring.
Most patients return to light activity within 2-3 weeks. You will need to avoid sitting directly on the surgical area for several weeks. Full results are visible at about 3-6 months.
Ideal candidates are at a stable weight, non-smokers, and have loose skin or sagging in the buttock area, often after significant weight loss or aging. Dr. Ray and Dr. Mejia will evaluate your goals and anatomy in consultation.
Recovery After a Gluteal Lift
Recovery from a gluteal lift requires following specific guidelines to protect your results:
What to expect during recovery:
- Avoid prolonged sitting for the first 2-3 weeks to allow proper healing.
- Wear compression garments as directed to minimize swelling.
- Light walking is encouraged to promote circulation.
- Return to work in 2-3 weeks depending on your job's physical demands.
