Making Your Bum Look Better After Major Weight Loss: The Special Flap Technique Explained

In recent years, we’ve seen a surge of people successfully shedding a lot of weight, either through a dedicated routine of diet and exercise or by opting for medical weight-loss surgeries such as gastric bypass or gastric sleeve. Our team of expert surgeons at Centre for Surgery have honed their skills in reshaping the abdominal area and the lower part of the body for these weight-loss champions. One particularly effective way we accomplish this is by combining a unique method to enhance the appearance of the buttocks with a comprehensive surgery that lifts and the skin around your waist and hips, known as a or belt lipectomy.

A popular choice among individuals who have undergone significant weight loss is the lower body lift, or belt lipectomy. This procedure removes from all around your midsection, aiming for an in your body’s . However, we’ve discovered over time, through regular follow-ups and feedback from our patients, that the buttocks can sometimes end up looking somewhat flat. This can be a cosmetic concern for many, and that’s why we’ve made the enhancement of the buttocks a crucial part of our surgical approach.

Here at Centre for Surgery, our surgeons are fully aware that looking good is not just about the front or the back; it’s about from every possible angle. To achieve this, you may opt for a range of treatments that provide a 360-degree enhancement of your body shape. This can include treatments like liposuction, tummy tucks, or the aforementioned lower body lift. And because the appearance of the buttocks is increasingly as a significant aspect of body aesthetics, this area often forms a part of our comprehensive treatment plans.

If you opt for a or , you might notice that the appear flatter than you’d prefer. This is often a result of removing excess skin from an area that has already lost a lot of volume due to the weight loss. Not only can this be an aesthetic issue, but it can also be a practical problem—such as having difficulties keeping trousers up. To address this concern, our surgeons have evolved a for that counterbalances this flat appearance. This advancement in surgical methods offers you a better chance of a result that brings you both happiness and confidence.

Options for Enhancing the Buttocks After a Lower Body Lift (Belt Lipectomy)

One option is to use specifically designed for the buttocks. However, this approach comes with its set of challenges. For instance, there’s a risk that the implant may move out of its intended position, an uneven appearance. Additionally, many patients are not keen on the idea of having an implant inserted into their bodies.

Once extremely popular, the involves transferring fat from one part of the body to the buttocks. However, this method has come under scrutiny due to a higher-than-expected rate of serious complications, including the risk of death. The main concern is that the transferred fat can accidentally enter the bloodstream and become trapped in the heart or lungs, which can be life-threatening. Due to these high risks, we do not recommend this procedure for enhancing the buttocks following weight loss.

When performing a lower body lift, we typically remove excess tissue from above the beltline on the lower back. This excess fat and tissue doesn’t have to go to waste; it can be used as a sort of natural implant for the buttocks. One major advantage of this technique is that the tissue has its own blood supply, which increases the likelihood of a successful outcome.

At Centre for Surgery, our surgeons prefer using this Autologous Buttock Augmentation Flap method, particularly when reshaping the abdominal and lower body regions after significant weight loss. This method aligns with our aim to achieve the best and safest for our patients.

Our Evolving Approach to Buttock Augmentation Using Flap Surgery

At Centre for Surgery, we continually push the boundaries of what is possible in the field of buttock augmentation. Our skilled surgeons have conducted comprehensive research using advanced three-dimensional imaging to study changes in patients’ shapes and volumes at various stages—before the operation, during the procedure, and over the course of long-term follow-up. The findings from this research have not only been published in international journals but also presented at numerous international conferences.

The primary objective of our flap technique is to give the buttocks a lifted appearance while increasing its projection and volume. This offers a more natural-looking enhancement, leveraging the patient’s own tissues.

The flap method is particularly for individuals who have lost a considerable amount of weight, resulting in sagging or descent of the buttocks. Ageing can have a similar effect, causing the buttocks to lose their youthful position and appearance. Therefore, if you have significant weight loss or are showing signs of ageing and are considering other body contouring procedures—like a , outer thigh lift, or more comprehensive lower body lift—you could be an ideal candidate for our buttock augmentation flap technique.

Our patient-centric approach ensures that we carefully evaluate each case to recommend the most appropriate treatment .
