Butt Lift Surgery in Pune & PCMC
Table of Contents
Many people reach a point where exercise and dieting do not change the shape of their buttocks the way they hope. A butt lift is considered when you want a firmer, smoother, and more lifted look rather than more volume. This page provides clear, calm guidance so you know what the surgery involves and how to prepare safely.
What a Butt Lift Really Is
A butt lift removes extra skin and reshapes the area to create a tighter, lifted contour.
It is different from a Brazilian butt lift. A BBL uses fat transfer to add volume.
A butt lift focuses on improving shape, firmness, and sagging.
This surgery helps when weight loss, ageing, pregnancy, or genetics cause the skin to loosen or the buttocks to droop.
Who It Helps
You may be a good candidate if:
- Your skin has loosened and hangs or folds
- Your weight is stable.
- You are healthy and do not smoke heavily.
- You want a firmer shape, not a bigger size.
- You understand that the scar is real, even though doctors try to place it low and hidden.
A common concern patients raise online is, “Will the scar be too noticeable?”
It fades over time, but it does not entirely disappear. This surgery is for people who value shape and firmness more than scar-free skin.
What It Can Do and What It Cannot
It can:
- Lift sagging buttocks
- Remove extra skin after significant weight loss.
- Smooth uneven folds
- Improve the silhouette of the clothes.
It cannot:
- Add volume like a BBL
- Fix cellulite completely
- Create a “perfect round” shape in every body type.
- Prevent future sagging if the weight fluctuates significantly.
People often expect tight skin forever. Results last longer if your weight stays steady and you follow aftercare.
How the Surgery Happens
The doctor marks the area while you stand.
During surgery, Dr. Salil removes excess skin and reshapes the tissues beneath. The remaining skin is lifted and tightened.
The incision is usually placed along the upper buttocks or lower back so it hides inside the underwear lines.
Most patients receive general anaesthesia, so they sleep through the procedure.
Risks You Should Know
This is important to understand early.
A butt lift is a real surgery. It needs careful planning.
Possible risks include:
- Swelling and bruising
- Fluid build-up (seroma)
- Numbness that can take weeks to settle
- Scarring
- Wound healing issues if you smoke
- Blood clots in rare cases.
A common fear online is “What if I cannot sit?”
You can sit, but you will need special positioning for a few weeks to protect the incision and reduce tension on the wound.
Recovery and Aftercare
Your body takes time to heal. Be patient with your curve and swelling.
What recovery usually looks like:
- First week: walking is encouraged, but slowly
- Sitting needs care; many people use a cushion.
- Drains may be left in place for a few days.
- Swelling improves over weeks, not days.
- Complete healing may take several months.
Most people return to desk work in 10–14 days.
Heavy exercise is delayed for 6–8 weeks, depending on progress.
A worry many patients share is, “Why do I look uneven early on?”
Early swelling can make the shape look irregular. Final contours appear when the tissues settle.
