What is Buttock Lift?
Buttock lift surgery removes excess sagging skin from the gluteal area to elevate and reshape the buttocks for a firmer, more youthful appearance. It is particularly effective for patients who have lost significant weight and are left with flat, drooping buttock tissue. MedProper performs this procedure in Istanbul's JCI and TEMOS-accredited hospital with a comprehensive all-inclusive package.
How Does Buttock Lift Work?
- 1Your surgeon assesses the degree of ptosis (sagging) and plans the incision pattern during a preoperative consultation.
- 2Under general anaesthesia, an incision is made along the upper buttock crease or lower back, where the scar will be well concealed.
- 3Excess skin is excised and the underlying gluteal tissue is lifted and anchored to the deeper fascial layer.
- 4The skin is redraped over the newly elevated contour and closed with layered sutures.
- 5A compression garment is placed to minimise swelling and support the lifted shape during healing.
Who is a Good Candidate for Buttock Lift?
- Adults with significant buttock sagging following major weight loss or due to ageing
- Patients who have maintained a stable weight for at least six months
- Non-smokers or those committed to quitting one month before and after surgery
- Individuals in good overall health with realistic expectations about the outcome
- People who prefer a natural lift rather than volume augmentation with implants or fat transfer

Frequently Asked Questions
A buttock lift removes excess skin and elevates sagging tissue for a firmer contour. A BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) uses fat transfer to add volume. They address different concerns and can sometimes be combined.
Most patients can sit comfortably with a specialised cushion within two weeks and without support by four to six weeks, depending on healing progress.
We recommend five to six nights to allow for the procedure, overnight hospital observation, and at least two postoperative follow-up visits.
The lift removes excess skin rather than muscle or fat, so volume loss is minimal. In many cases the buttocks appear fuller because the tissue is now properly positioned.
The all-inclusive package covers the surgical team, anaesthesia, JCI-accredited hospital stay, hotel accommodation, airport and clinic transfers, all medications, and 12 months of remote aftercare.
