Buttock Lift

What does the surgery involve?

​

A buttock lift removes excess skin to contour the buttock post-weight loss. This tightens the skin, creating a more contoured appearance. 

This surgery is common in patients with excess skin after weight loss or liposuction to improve elasticity from ageing and patients with fatty deposits concentrated in this area of the body.

​

Dr Taylor does not perform Brazilian Butt Lift or BBL surgery.
