Buttock Lift
At a Glance
Have you lost a lot of weight recently, resulting in sagging skin in the buttocks? Does this leave you with low self-esteem and confidence? You may be the ideal candidate for a buttock lift.
At Centre for Surgery, our surgeons take great pride in dedicating themselves to achieving optimal results that will leave your body looking and feeling rejuvenated.
A buttock lift involves the removal of excess skin from the buttocks. This can be performed at the same time as other surgeries such as liposuction or a tummy tuck.
Not sure if a buttock lift is right for you? A buttock lift is different from a fat transfer to buttocks, which involves a fat transfer to the buttocks to increase the size.
Anaesthesia type: ClearSleep™ Procedure time: 2 - 3 hours Recovery time: 1 weekAbout
Flabby skin is caused by weight loss, multiple pregnancies and ageing factors. The sagginess of the skin gives you an awkward appearance. Through buttock lift surgery you can get rid of saggy skin. This body contouring surgical procedure is safe and suitable for shaping the buttock area. The right candidates for this surgery are those individuals enjoying good health, but having flabby skin in the buttock region which can occur after significant weight loss.
Candidates
All patients should be in good health and have realistic expectations about what can be achieved with buttock lift surgery.
We do not treat patients below the age of 18 years of age.
Healing is better if patients refrain from or quit smoking.
The buttock lift procedure is performed purely for cosmetic purposes, to help improve one’s image and self-esteem.
- An ideal patient must have already achieved their ideal weight and has been at their optimum weight for at least the last 12 months.
- It is for those who wish to get rid of loose hanging skin after a dramatic weight loss.
- It is for those who have undergone bariatric weight loss surgery which usually leads to enormous skin laxity.

Procedure
Buttock lift surgery can be done in conjunction with other cosmetic procedures such as liposuction and tummy tuck for fat removal and weight reduction. These procedures will get rid of the additional skin and fat deposits at the same time and help you regain your energetic appearance.
The buttock lift cosmetic surgical procedure is performed under a general anaesthetic known as ClearSleep™. It will take around three hours to perform.
The procedure involves the surgeon making incisions in particular areas above the buttocks. The pattern and length of the incision will depend on the quantity of skin to be detached and the specific body portion. Once the excess skin is removed, the remaining skin is pulled over the incision, and stitches are applied to close the incisions.
A buttock lift will be performed as an outpatient surgery. You will be able to return home the same day as the surgery, once the effects of the anaesthetic have worn off.
Recovery
The minor side effects and discomforts of this surgical procedure include infection, pain, inflammation, blood loss, redness and formation of blood clots.
You can return to daily activities in around four to six weeks.
The scar marks will fade out within six to twelve months.
Apart from minor discomforts, buttock lift surgery offers outstanding body contouring results.

We searched for many different surgeries to perform my procedure but the center for surgery really stuck out. The staff were incredibly friendly and the receptionist Gregory and surgeon Omar were highly professional, welcoming and made me feel at ease. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Old implants removed and replaced, plus silicone granules removed from right armpit. My previous surgery was done over 20 years ago. (I never really had any breast tissue, so I had the implants to look normal). One implant had erupted and both had capsulated. I was never told they had a shelf life! When I first arrived at the clinic in Watford, ( I never went to th Harley St surgery) I was quite dubious about the whole set-up. The Surgery is right in the middle of a Business Site and it seemed like some sort of Back Street Butchery. (I hope this review will put people's minds at rest when they first arrive) It actually didn't help much that I had to wait an hour because the surgery that day had overrun, however, after talking to Omar Tillo and seeing how clued up he was on my situation, I began to relax. It didn't stop me going on-line to Google him and everything else about the practice, but it was all good. On the day of the surgery, I met with Mr Tillo again. I also met everyone else who was going to be in theatre with me and they all came to me individually to explain their roll. It was very comforting and reassuring. The surgery was quite lengthy and took several hours. I hadn't decided what size implants to go for pre surgery as my old ones were so distorted and out of place, so I left it with Mr Tillo to make the decision once the others had been removed. It is now 3 weeks since the implants were replaced and I am delighted with how I look and feel. The size and shape are perfect for me. Nothing weird or huge; I'm on the wrong side of 50 now so am not looking for glamour, just normality. The post surgery is superb. My coordinator, Naz, is very efficient and can't do enough for me. The incision in my armpit where the silicone particles had to be removed is probably the most uncomfortable part of the whole procedure, but most of you won't have to worry about that. I got a sick note for work purposes without any fuss at all, so over all; worth every penny! Don't let your first impressions put you off :-) Good luck.

I had a tummy tuck 2 weeks and 4 days ago. It is something I had been considering for a whilst now that I have completed my family. Also the excess skin and fat was getting me down. I went to another consultation in Harley Street which was 15 mins where the Dr examined me and told me he could do the work and his secretary than called me with the price, it was very rushed. I found Dr Tillo searching the net and after reading his reviews I called his office and spoke with Naz, she was very friendly, explained their procedures and arranged an appointment for me to meet with him. I met Dr Tillo in his Watford clinic, I felt at ease with him straight away. Dr Tillo examined me and than explained what the procedure would involve. I had a few questions and he was very patient and explained everything fully and clearly, I never felt rushed at all.On the day of my operation I was excited. Dr Tillo’s staff were All lovely and so was the anethesist who explained everything and next thing I knew I was asleep. When I woke up it didn’t even feel as if though I had had an operation! My husband picked me up , I was given pain killers and it was explained that I would need to keep my compression belt on and drains would be removed after two days.I went home a very happy lady!!!As days have passed I have healed very well with no complications, I am so pleased with my new tummy, I know it’s good esp since my 3 year old doesn’t think there’s a baby in there anymore!I cannot Thank Dr Tillo and his staff enough!!

Dr Tillo and his team are fantastic. Nothing has been too much for them!!I was told my tummy tuck would cost £17,000 at one clinic and £13,000 at another. It was considerably cheaper here. I'm not one to go for 'the cheaper options usually, as I tend to think you would get a cheaper result. But Dr Tillo pointed out that I didn't need all the work doing that the other places had said I did!! They were using my body to make money! Due to his honesty, and his non judgemental view, I left feeling confident that he was the man I needed.I am only a week out and thrilled to bits with my result so far. I can't recommend them enough.

Honestly, I was supposed to have a surgery at another private hospital (this hospital was supposed to be one of the best in london) but I chose to get my surgery done at center for surgery instead, my main reason for this was the level of service I recieved, the staff are very professional, they are caring (I had not eaten the entire day on the day of my surgery and one of the nurses got me some food without me asking her to do so. My surgery itself was amazing considering I never had one before and was a bit nervous beforehand. The staff calls you everyday to make sure you are ok and coping post surgery. Honestly I cannot thank the staff enough.

Hi. i was thinking of doing a full abdominoplasty for about four years and i did a lot of consultaions in Turkey, Belgium and also India however i was scared of the outcomes of the surgery’s complications and everyone advised me to do it in the Uk to be safe after surgery complications and and may need changes , so I ended up having the survey elsewhere.Finally, i decided to do a full abdominoplasty by Dr.Faisal Salim nearly a year ago. I regret doing the surgery as I was not 100% satisfied because he did not reduce the flanks area and whenever i saw the shape, it make me very upset. I tried contacting him but he was't available the time i really need his helpThe time i ask him my swelling is gone and still i can see the same fats on my flanks (love handles) area and that was the time i need his help and after booking an appointments there was always a another assistant taking his place which he don't know nothing. They clinic did't give me a full reasonable answer when I asked for Dr.Faisal Salim attendance the said he left the surgery forever. I did't know who is dr faisal salim i came to the name of (Centre for surgery) company and they are responsible for giving me this type of servises. After spending so much money on an unsuccessful surgery, I strongly do not recommend it to anyone ..

Fantastic experience dealing with everyone at centre for surgery. The main reason for choosing this surgery is because of the brilliant google reviews and they’re all completely spot on and accurate. I can’t thank my surgeon Mr Antonios Mitsakos enough, he was professional, approachable and answered all of my questions, making sure I was happy with the procedure. I’m two weeks post op and absolutely thrilled with my results so far, a true reflection of just how good Antonios is. I visited the Watford clinic and have been well looked after at each visit. The aftercare is fantastic, a big credit to the nurses that helped me, so friendly and comforting in-particular Rachelle who called me every other day to make sure I was doing ok and to answer any questions I had. I dealt with Naz whilst booking and again she was very helpful, friendly and easy to talk to. I’d highly recommend centre for surgery and would like to thank everyone there for their friendliness, professionalism and for looking after me!

Dr Antonios Mitsakos is an amazing surgeon, he is also very friendly and reassuring. He made me feel comfortable and at ease when we discussed the procedures. I am so glad I followed his expert opinion. My procedures went extremely well and easy and I got the exact results I wanted. I cannot thank him enough. The clinic staff were also very nice and supportive. The nurse who looked after me, Lorena, the admin staff Naz were also so supportive and great, I couldn't have a better experience. The clinic is very modern, nice and they are all professional and friendly. I felt welcomed and cared for. Thank you so much.
