A butt lift addresses sagging and deflated buttocks by removing excess skin and repositioning the remaining tissue for a higher, firmer, and more youthful contour. It is particularly effective after significant weight loss, where stretched skin cannot be improved through exercise or fat transfer alone.
Unlike a BBL, a butt lift focuses on reshaping and elevating what’s already there — making it the right choice when ptosis (sagging) is the primary concern.
FA gluteal lift removes excess, sagging skin from the lower buttocks and upper thighs, tightening and repositioning the remaining tissue for improved contour and lift. It can be performed as a standalone procedure or as part of a lower body lift following major weight loss.
Turkey is an established destination for post-weight-loss body contouring, with plastic surgeons experienced in lower body lifting procedures. Istanbul clinics offer these procedures at substantially lower costs than the UK or US, with dedicated support for international patients throughout their recovery journey.
