Buttock lift is a surgical procedure that contours and firms the buttocks by removing excess skin and tightening the remaining tissue. In Ormond Beach, FL, where coastal air, soft sunlight, and palm-lined streets create a calm, comfortable setting, many patients consider this option to address changes associated with aging or weight loss. This procedure, also known as a gluteal lift, focuses on the upper buttocks, lower back, and upper thighs. It works by removing sagging skin and repositioning tissue to achieve a more lifted contour. In some cases, liposuction may be included to further refine the area. The procedure does not alter the skin’s natural elasticity but improves its appearance after tightening.
If you have experienced weight changes or notice loose skin that does not improve with exercise, this procedure may be appropriate. Early changes are visible as swelling decreases, with more defined results developing gradually over the following weeks as tissues settle and heal. Results can last for years when supported by stable weight, consistent habits, and routine follow-up care. To learn more, schedule a consultation with Lentz Plastic Surgery in Ormond Beach, FL, to discuss your options, review your goals, and receive a personalized evaluation based on your needs.
You will meet with Dr. Ashley Lentz to review your medical history, medications, and goals. A physical exam helps determine the approach based on your anatomy and skin condition.
You may be advised to adjust certain medications, including aspirin or supplements, before surgery. Instructions are provided to help prepare for the procedure and recovery.
On the day of surgery, anesthesia is administered. Incisions are made along the top of the buttocks and hips. Excess skin is removed, and the remaining tissue is lifted and tightened to reduce sagging. In some cases, liposuction is used to improve contour. The incisions are closed with layered sutures to support healing.
After surgery, compression garments are recommended to help reduce swelling. Bruising and discomfort are expected during early recovery. Detailed aftercare instructions are provided, and follow-up visits are scheduled to monitor healing.

A buttock lift is a surgical procedure that removes excess, sagging skin and tightens the underlying tissue to improve the shape, contour, and firmness of the buttocks. It is commonly recommended for patients who have experienced significant weight loss, aging-related skin laxity, or loss of skin elasticity that cannot be improved with exercise alone.
Results from a buttock lift can last for many years. Maintaining a healthy weight and lifestyle may help support longer-lasting results.
No. A buttock lift focuses on removing excess skin and tightening tissue to address sagging. Butt augmentation, on the other hand, is designed to increase volume and enhance fullness using fat transfer or implants. In some cases, your provider may recommend combining both approaches to achieve a more balanced, natural-looking result.
Recovery from a buttock lift varies from patient to patient. Many return to light activities within a few weeks, while full healing may take several months, depending on the procedure.
