A buttock lift, also known as a gluteal lift, does not add volume from the buttocks but it does vastly improve the shape of the rear with excess sagging skin and fat being removed for a smoother contour and more even silhouette. The skin tone usually sees a vast improvement as well, with previously uneven and dimpled areas being removed along with the excess sagging skin.
During the procedure, an incision may be made just below the waistline or just below the buttocks, in the crease between the buttock and the upper thigh. The type of incision made is dependent upon the extent of the skin and fat to be removed, and if it is being performed as part of a more extensive body contouring procedure, such as a full body lift or abdominoplasty.
Once the incision or incisions are made, the excess skin and fat is removed from the area and the skin smoothed prior to deep sutures being put in place to support the newly shaped tissue and keep the skin tight. The procedure is completed with shallow sutures to close the incisions.
A buttock lift is generally performed under general anaesthetic or light sedation (twilight anaethesia) and local anaethesia. Your surgeon will be able to advise in more detail in line with your individual case.
A Buttock Lift should be long-lasting so long as excess weight gain is avoided. In order to keep the results looking good for as long as possible, it is recommended to follow a healthy, balanced diet and engage in regular exercise.
A Buttock Lift is a major surgical procedure that will alter your shape and can have a psychological impact, so careful thought needs to be given prior to going ahead.
At Cocoona, we ask for you to conduct a self-evaluation to help you assess if you are one hundred per cent ready, both physically and mentally, for Brazilian Butt Lift surgery. You should ask yourself the following questions:
Once you have clarity on the above, the next step is to find the right surgeon and clinic. These are of paramount importance.
You need a surgeon who is experienced in performing Buttock Lift surgery, has a sound reputation and proven results. You should also look for a surgeon who will give you honest and realistic advice on what you can and can’t achieve with this procedure.
A good clinic is one that has an experienced and highly skilled surgical team, licensed aestheticist(s), well trained nursing staff, an excellent reputation, and a low complication rate. Of course, the clinic also needs to be licensed with the relevant authorities for the country or region it is situated in. At Cocoona, we tick all these boxes.
For an accurate cost assessment, you will need to book an initial consultation with our surgeon. As with almost any aesthetic procedure, the cost will depend on the following factors:
Surgeon’s Expertise – The surgeon’s fee is based on their experience. Obviously, a reputable surgeon who is established and has a successful track record will charge higher fees.
Clinic/ Hospital – Fees also depend upon the quality of the facility chosen for the operation.
Geographic Area – Depending on the city/ area you decide to have the surgery in, the cost is likely be different: clinics in larger metropolitan cities tend to cost more. You should bear in mind that the expertise of your consultant and your comfort factor with him or her should be one the most important considerations, much more so than the cost of the procedure. A cheap procedure could turn out to be an expensive proposition in the long run.
Once you are clear about your reasons for Buttock Lift surgery and have decided to proceed, call us to fix an appointment. The expert surgeon who will perform the surgery will consult with you; during the consultation, you should expect the following:
Feeling apprehensive before the surgery takes place is entirely normal. Be sure to discuss any fears or concerns you have with your surgeon and don’t hesitate to ask any questions related to the results you hope to achieve.
Being well informed is being well prepared. Apart from checking that your clinic and doctors have the necessary skills, knowledge and experience, here are some more areas that you should explore:
Please feel free to add any more questions that you wish to this list before your consultation.
After your initial consultation, you will need to make the final decision regarding your surgeon. Never choose your surgeon simply based on how much the treatment will cost. Instead, focus on the following:
License & certification – is the surgeon licensed and certified to conduct Buttock Lift surgery by a reputable body?
Expertise & experience – the number of years of experience/ how many Buttock Lift surgeries the surgeon has performed previously
Before/ after pictures – evidencing their capability of past performance
Clarity on possible results – whether they are providing you with realistic expectations and honest feedback
Professionalism & comfort factor – if you feel comfortable with the professionalism and manners of a surgeon, and feel you can trust him/her with your face and body, then that’s the surgeon you should consider
Safety philosophy – if the surgeon is ready to put you at risk by recommending or agreeing to perform multiple unrelated surgeries and/or procedures on the same day or within a short period of time, you should refuse to proceed and go elsewhere.
Patient testimonials & reviews – A good reputation and a large number of positive patient testimonials and reviews on independent forums should be an important consideration in your process of choosing the right surgeon
Keep in mind that there are hidden costs in the long term and greater risks (including threat to life), associated with a surgery where costs, safety and skills are compromised. Always be wary of a plastic surgeon or clinic that is offering very low costs and/ or miraculous results.
After your initial consultation with the surgeon, once you are satisfied with the outcome of the ensuing discussions and have confirmed that you will go ahead with your chosen consultant, a date will be fixed for the procedure.
Buttock Lift surgery is usually performed on an inpatient basis with a two to three night stay being required. In the unlikely event of complications, inpatients may face a longer stay should the attending doctor make the recommendation. Before you come in for your procedure, we recommend that you plan accordingly.
Here are some of the important steps that you must take before the procedure:
Our surgeon and patient counselor will guide you thoroughly about what you need to do so that you are completely at ease and ready for surgery and beyond.

I want to thank you for the great effort and expertise that you put in the hair transplant procedure which you did on me. You have fixed a big cut from a previous, very bad hair transplant in Jordan. It kept me very nervous and uncomfortable for very long time. Now, after conducting this surgery by you, I feel very very happy because the cut is almost gone. I like your personality and professionalism. I am really glad that I made a decision to come to Dubai and conduct the surgery at Cocoona Clinic Thank you very much.
