What does the surgery involve?

​

A buttock lift removes excess skin to tighten the skin and contour the buttock. 

It is considered by individuals who have excess skin following weight loss or liposuction or by those who have experienced changes in skin elasticity over time. It may also be used to address fatty deposits in this area.

​

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