The butt lift procedure augments the buttock using implants or the patient’s fat to enhance curves and bring balance to the figure. When diet and exercise have failed to create a toned and lifted buttock, Dr. Kayastha can utilize surgical techniques that fit your unique preferences.

What is the Butt Lift?
A buttock augmentation and a Brazilian butt lift both utilize surgical techniques to add volume, improve contours, and create overall balance in your silhouette. Butt augmentation does this with the use of implants, while a Brazilian butt lift uses your own fat cells harvested via liposuction. While offering slightly different results, both options enhance the shape and projection of the butt with long-term results.
Who is a Good Candidate for a Butt Lift?
Candidates for a buttock augmentation or lift are healthy individuals who are unhappy with the size or contour of their buttocks and wish to improve their overall body balance. Patients looking for a significant increase in size will be recommended buttock augmentation while patients seeking stubble differences will be encouraged to consider fat transfer augmentation– fat transfer candidates must have enough excess fat in an area such as the abdomen or thighs for proper harvesting.
If you do not have enough fat present for proper fat transfer augmentation, Dr. Kayastha will work with you to find a stubble implant alternative.
Customize Your Butt Lift
Dr. Kayastha takes a unique approach to each patient, helping them select the best possible option for their aesthetic needs– generally, there are two options available for butt enhancement:
Butt Lift Customization
Customization
-
Butt Implants
Silicone implants that range in shape and size and are designed to look and feel like natural tissue upon insertion.
-
Fat Transfer Butt Augmentation
Uses fat harvested via liposuction to augment the butt. Upon injection, fat cells establish a new blood supply and act as completely normal, natural tissue.
-
Liposuction
Utilized in fat transfers, liposuction sucks out fat surrounding the butt to enhance the contours of both the buttock and surrounding areas.
Butt Lift Results
Butt enhancement results provide a visibly improved projection of the backside as well as a natural accentuation of curves and contours. With fat transfer operations, patients will also notice a more toned figure in the harvesting sites.
Recovering from a Butt Lift
Following a butt lift, patients should be prepared for six to eight weeks of recovery. Pressure from sitting can negatively affect your implants or transfer fat. As such, you will need to exercise caution and avoid sleeping on your back for several months. Swelling is to be expected near the surgical sites, but proper adherence to Dr. Kayastha’s aftercare instructions will ensure a smooth recovery. It’s recommended to get up and do light walking around the house for the first few days after surgery, but limit rigorous activity for the first several weeks.
Dr. Kayastha will give a specific recommendation on how much time you should take off from work, especially if you work a job that requires consistent sitting. You should wait about four weeks before resuming exercise, working your way back up, and avoiding fat-burning exercises.
