Bum Lift Cost & Recovery: Everything You Need To Know

Added on 4th June 2021 in Blog

Gluteoplasty, the technical term for a bum lift or butt lift, is a relatively simple procedure that improves the appearance of a sagging buttock area. In some cases, a butt lift can be paired with other procedures but this all depends on your individual desires and expectations. If you are considering a bum lift procedure, it’s only natural to have a few questions around risk, recovery and the cost of a butt lift.  

From the cost to the recovery process, read this helpful guide to butt lifts or contact us with any specific questions.

The Purpose of A Bum Lift Procedure

The primary purpose of a bum lift procedure is to improve the appearance of the buttock area. As we grow older, our skin loses elasticity, which can leave loose, sagging skin in certain areas of the body, with the buttocks area particularly prone to losing elasticity. Those who have undergone a drastic weight loss journey or women who have recently given birth may also experience sagging skin.

A bum lift, often performed in conjunction with a lower body lift or thigh and groin contouring, is designed to give the appearance of a more toned, rounded rear.

Traditional Bum Lift vs Brazilian Bum Lift

In recent years, Brazilian bum lifts have increased in popularity, but you may be wondering what the difference is between a traditional bum lift and a Brazilian bum lift.

Both procedures are performed under general anaesthetic, meaning you will be fully unconscious, and both aim to achieve the same outcome of a more rounded butt.

Those with excess, sagging skin around the buttocks area will require a butt lift procedure, as this removes excess skin and tissue. On the other hand, a Brazilian bum lift transfers fat from one area of the body to the buttocks to increase the size of the buttocks. As a result, BBLs are popular with individuals who have a lack of muscle mass in the butt.

If you’re unsure whether you require a traditional bum lift or a BBL, our surgeons can go through your options during an initial consultation. You can also get a clearer idea by checking out our case studies below:

How Long Does It Take To Recover From A Bum Lift?

Full recovery from a bum lift procedure can take up to six months. However, the majority of side effects will have settled after eight weeks. It is important to remember that everyone’s recovery from a bum lift will differ.

Light exercise may be allowed after one week, with normal exercise being permitted at the 4 to 8 week mark. Again, exact dates will depend heavily on the exact procedure and each individual patient. 

It’s also recommended that patients take at least 2 weeks off work after a bum lift, potentially more depending on the nature of their role. 

Are There Any Risks Of A Bum Lift?

As with any surgery, there are risks you should be aware of. Although this is a low-risk surgery, bruising and numbness are to be expected. Rarer risks include infection, long spells of numbness, skin loss or thick scarring. 

Risks can vary from one procedure to the next. At UK Aesthetic, our patients’ safety is of paramount importance. That’s why our surgeons will discuss all the risks involved during your initial bum lift consultation.

How Much Does A Butt Lift Cost?

Bum lift cost can vary from patient to patient. If your bum lift needs to be combined with a lower body lift, liposuction or more extensive surgery, this will raise the cost of a butt lift. As Brazilian bum lifts need to be combined with fat transfer, the cost of a BBL is generally greater than a standard butt lift.

Given the complexity of the procedure, you mustn’t base your decision solely on the cost of the bum lift surgery. The experience and accreditation of your surgeon and the quality of facilities should be considered before the bum lift cost.

We’ll be able to give a full estimation on the cost of your bum lift or BBL at the end of your consultation. It’s important to know that your total bum lift cost will also include things like surgeon fees and hospital fees for the whole procedure.

Final Thoughts 

Bum lift procedures are ideal for people wanting to improve the appearance of a sagging buttock area. If you would like to find out more information about the procedure, please visit our bum lift page. You can also contact us to book your initial consultation!
