- Have sagging, flat, or deflated buttocks due to aging, weight loss, or genetics.

Your Butt Lift Procedure
A butt lift is performed in a fully accredited surgical facility under general anesthesia. The exact approach depends on your goals and chosen technique-whether it’s a Brazilian Butt Lift (fat grafting), surgical skin tightening, or buttock implants.
For a Brazilian Butt Lift, Dr. Partridge harvests fat from areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs using liposuction. This fat is then processed, and then carefully injected into the buttocks to add natural volume and shape. Surgical butt lifts remove excess skin and tighten tissues to lift sagging areas. Buttock implants are placed through discreet incisions to enhance projection and contour.
Dr. Partridge customizes every procedure to your anatomy and aesthetic goals. Many of Dr. Partridge’s patients choose to combine their butt lift with other body contouring procedures like liposuction or a tummy tuck for a more comprehensive transformation.

Types of Butt Lift Procedures
Dr. Partridge offers customized butt lift techniques to suit each patient’s body type, goals, and degree of volume or sagging.
Surgical Butt Lift

It is ideal for patients who have lost volume or elasticity due to aging, pregnancy, or significant weight loss. The result is a firmer, elevated, and youthful appearance. Recovery typically involves 2-3 weeks of limited activity and careful care of incision sites.
Brazilian Butt Lift (Fat Grafting)
A Brazilian Butt Lift uses your own fat, harvested via liposuction from areas like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, and carefully injects it into the buttocks. This technique adds natural volume, improves shape, and contours donor areas for a harmonious result. It is perfect for patients seeking both lift and enhanced fullness without implants.
Buttock Implants
For patients with insufficient fat for grafting or those seeking more dramatic projection, silicone buttock implants can provide precise volume and shape. Incisions are placed discreetly, and implants are customized to complement your natural contours. This approach is especially effective for enhancing projection and achieving a proportionate silhouette.

Butt Lift FAQ
What’s the Difference Between Brazilian Butt Lift vs. Buttock Implants?
A Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) uses your own fat, harvested via liposuction, to enhance volume and shape naturally. Buttock implants involve synthetic silicone implants to increase size and projection. Dr. Partridge will help determine which method is best for your anatomy, goals, and desired results.
What is recovery like after a butt lift?
Recovery after a butt lift is typically straightforward, though it requires care and adherence to Dr. Partridge’s instructions.

Dr. Partridge provides personalized guidance to support a smooth recovery and optimal results.
Will I have visible scars?
Incisions for a butt lift are carefully placed in discreet locations, often hidden within natural creases or areas covered by clothing. While scarring is inevitable with any surgical procedure, it usually fades over time and becomes minimally noticeable. Dr. Partridge also offers post-surgical care instructions to help scars heal as smoothly as possible.
