If you’re looking to improve the shape, contour, and firmness of your buttocks, particularly after weight loss or age-related skin laxity, a buttock lift may be an ideal option. This procedure removes excess skin and tightens the underlying tissues to create a smoother, lifted, and more defined silhouette.
At Paul Wilson Aesthetics, our procedures are performed by a bespoke team of highly skilled accredited professionals who will support you at every stage, from initial consultation through to surgery and recovery.
About
A buttock lift is a comprehensive procedure that improves the shape and firmness of the buttocks, hips, and outer thighs by removing excess skin and fat. It is commonly chosen by individuals who have undergone significant weight loss and are left with sagging or loose skin that cannot be corrected through diet or exercise alone.
This procedure can also be combined with other surgeries such as a tummy tuck and thigh lift as part of a lower body lift. When performed together, these treatments help reshape the entire lower body, creating a smoother, more balanced, and more youthful overall contour.
benefits
Benefits of a buttock lift include a smoother, firmer appearance and improved contours. A buttock lift offers several benefits, including:
candidates
A buttock lift is most suitable for individuals who have loose, hanging skin and uneven contours across the lower torso and buttocks, particularly after significant weight loss or as a result of natural ageing. Candidates should be in good overall health, maintain a stable weight, and have realistic expectations about what the procedure can achieve.
What to expect
During your consultation, your surgeon will assess the lower body in detail, examining the amount and distribution of excess skin and fat, as well as the overall skin tone and elasticity. Your medical history and personal goals will be reviewed, and the surgeon will explain the surgical techniques that may be suitable for you.
You will be shown where the incisions are likely to be placed, what level of lifting and contouring can realistically be achieved, and how the skin will be tightened. The recovery process, potential risks, and any preparation needed before surgery will also be discussed. Photographs may be taken for planning and to help visualise the expected results.
This appointment is an opportunity to ask questions, explore your options, and ensure you feel confident and well informed before proceeding.
A buttock lift is performed under general anaesthesia. The procedure usually takes three to four hours, although this can vary depending on the amount of excess skin being removed, the need for liposuction, and whether the surgery is combined with other lower body contouring procedures.
Pre-operative markings
Before surgery, detailed markings are made to outline the precise areas of excess skin and fat to be removed and to plan the incision placement.
A posterior incision is made across the upper buttock region. This provides access for the surgeon to remove loose skin and fat affecting the buttocks, hips, and outer thighs. The underlying tissues are lifted and tightened to create a firmer, more elevated contour. If you’ve previously had a tummy tuck the incisions will be seamlessly connected to form a circumferential scar.
Liposuction may be performed alongside skin removal to refine the shape and enhance the overall result, particularly in areas with stubborn fat deposits.
Once the lower body has been reshaped, the skin is re-draped smoothly, and the incisions are closed using dissolvable sutures. Compression garments are applied to support the new contours, minimise swelling, and promote proper healing.
Recovery
Recovery varies between individuals and depends on the extent of the procedure and your body’s natural healing response. Most patients will need to stay in the hospital for one to two nights so the initial recovery can be monitored and appropriate pain relief can be provided.
Bruising, swelling, and discomfort are expected in the early postoperative period. These symptoms will gradually improve and can be managed with prescribed pain medication. Swelling may take several months to fully resolve, and the final contour will refine slowly over time.
You will need to wear compression garments for several weeks to help reduce swelling, support the healing tissues, and assist the buttocks and lower torso in settling into their new shape.
Light walking is encouraged soon after surgery to promote circulation and reduce the risk of complications. However, strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and bending should be avoided for at least six weeks. You will also need to sleep on your front for two to three weeks to avoid placing pressure on the buttocks while they heal.
Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your progress, remove any sutures if required, and guide you on scar care.
As the swelling continues to settle, the improved contour will become increasingly visible over the following months. Final results are long-lasting, particularly with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.
Risks & complications
As with any surgical procedure, a buttock lift carries certain risks. These may include:
Your surgeon will discuss all potential risks with you during your consultation to ensure you are fully informed before making any decisions.
The cost of this surgery depends on the details of the individual procedure, including the extent of correction required and whether additional areas are treated at the same time. A personalised quote will be provided after your consultation and surgical assessment.
FAQ
A buttock lift involves an incision placed across the upper buttocks, which may extend around the lower torso. Your surgeon will position the scar as discreetly as possible so that it can be concealed by most underwear or swimwear. Scars typically fade over time with good aftercare and sun protection.
Results are long-lasting, especially when supported by a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle. While ageing may gradually reduce skin elasticity, the improved contour is generally maintained.
Yes. Assistance is usually helpful during the first week, as mobility may be limited and daily activities can be more difficult. Your surgeon will advise you on what support to arrange and how best to prepare.
Yes. Depending on your anatomy, goals, and overall health, your surgeon may recommend staging procedures to reduce risk and support a smoother recovery.

Breast Augmentation
A natural increase in volume — restoring shape after hypomastia
Hypomastia is the medical term for naturally underdeveloped breast tissue. It’s a recognised developmental variation, not a flaw — but for many women it affects how comfortable and confident they feel in their own body.
This patient, a mum of two with a completed family, had thought about augmentation for several years. Her request was simple and one I hear often: a natural, modest increase in volume and improved shape — not a dramatic change. On examination she had reduced upper-pole fullness in both breasts with good underlying symmetry.
Rather than reaching for a number, we planned this properly. Measurements, 2D and 3D imaging morphed to her chosen implant, external sizers tried on in clinic, and a home rice test to let her feel the volume for herself. Her choice: a 275cc round, moderate-profile Mentor micro-textured implant, placed subfascially through an inframammary incision — a plan designed to add soft upper-pole fullness in proportion to her petite frame.
You can see in the lateral and oblique views how the goal was balance, not bulk.
The psychological side matters just as much. In appropriately assessed patients, augmentation for hypomastia is consistently associated with improvements in body image, self-confidence and quality of life — and that outcome means as much to me as the surgical one.
Shared with this patient’s full consent.
Results vary from person to person. This is educational and not a recommendation to undergo surgery — any decision should follow a personal consultation.

Dorsal Preservation Rhinoplasty: What’s the Hype?
Traditional rhinoplasty shaves the hump off the top of your bridge, then rebuilds the roof. DPR lowers the bridge from underneath — keeping your natural dorsum fully intact. 👃
Why people love it 💕
✅ More natural front view (no widening!)
✅ Preserves your dorsal aesthetic lines
✅ Fewer grafts needed
✅ Quicker recovery & less bruising 🤍
✅ Smoother long-term results
The fine print 📝
⚠️ Hump recurrence is the #1 risk
⚠️ Best for straight noses with small/medium humps
⚠️ Technically harder — surgeon experience is everything
⚠️ Rare risks: saddle nose, radix step-off, asymmetry
The hype is real — if you’re a candidate. Always consult a surgeon fluent in BOTH techniques, not just the trendy one. 🤍

Precision in motion. 🦴✨
Meet Paul Wilson — one of the rare surgeons holding dual qualifications in both dentistry and plastic surgery. That unique combination is on full display here, as Paul interprets dental imaging in real time while placing mandibular angle and chin implants.
Facial implant surgery is as much about artistry as it is anatomy. Having a deep understanding of the underlying bony architecture — the kind of knowledge that comes from a background in dentistry — allows for implant placement that’s tailored, precise, and harmonious with each patient’s natural facial structure.
From reading the CBCT scan on screen to refining the jawline and chin projection in the OR, every detail is considered. This is what dual expertise looks like in practice. 💙

Facial implants for jawline and chin enhancement should always be performed by a qualified surgeon following a thorough consultation. Individual results vary.

Gynaecomastia | Before & After
This procedure addresses excess fullness in the male chest caused by gland, fat, or a combination of both.
The aim is not simply to remove tissue, but to improve the overall chest shape for a balanced and natural appearance. As with any operation, success depends on choosing the right technique for the individual`s anatomy and careful surgical planning from the outset.
The initial result is just one stage of the process. Swelling gradually subsides, and the chest continues to refine as healing progresses.
Please take a moment to view the outcome.

A neck lift is designed to address laxity beneath the chin and along the jawline.
Some patients are less concerned with their face itself, and more with the way their neck has changed over time. Loss of definition, heavier tissue, or loose skin in this area can affect overall facial balance.
A neck lift focuses on restoring a more defined contour through careful surgical planning, with the aim of achieving a result that looks natural for the individual.
As with any procedure, suitability depends on anatomy, skin quality, and the changes being treated.
