Before & Afters
What Is a Buttock Lift?
A buttock lift is a surgical procedure designed to improve the shape, firmness, and position of the buttocks by removing excess sagging skin and fat and tightening the remaining tissues.
Dr. Larson carefully excises redundant skin and tissue, often along natural creases or the upper buttocks, while repositioning the buttocks for a lifted appearance. In many cases – particularly for patients with lipedema – this is combined with targeted liposuction to refine the surrounding areas and remove abnormal fat deposits. The refined tissues are then sutured in layers to create smooth transitions and lasting contours.
Equally important, the procedure refines the waist, lower back, and hips, which often makes the buttocks appear more lifted and proportionate even before final closure.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Buttock Lift?
You may be a strong candidate for a buttock lift if you:
- Desire a firmer, more lifted buttock contour
- Have excess sagging skin or loose tissue in the buttocks area
- Experience skin laxity due to significant weight loss, aging, or lipedema
- Are at or near a stable, healthy weight
- Are in good overall health
Dr. Larson takes a thoughtful and individualized approach to candidacy. Many patients, especially those with lipedema, seek meaningful improvement in both physical comfort and appearance. His goal is to deliver results that restore natural proportions while relieving the irritation, chafing, and heaviness often caused by excess skin and tissue.
What Are the Benefits of a Buttock Lift in Newport Beach?
For many patients, the transformation feels cohesive and harmonious rather than exaggerated. Benefits of a buttock lift with Larson Aesthetics often include:
- A firmer, more youthful buttock contour
- Removal of excess sagging skin
- Improved hip-to-buttock transition
- Smoother lower back silhouette
- Enhanced body proportion
- Relief from skin irritation or chafing (especially in lipedema patients)
Why Choose Dr. Larson for a Buttock Lift in Orange County?
A buttock lift is not simply about removing skin. Rather, a buttock lift is a comprehensive body contouring procedure in which the result depends just as much on precise skin excision and tissue repositioning as it does on harmonious contouring of the surrounding areas. The waist must transition smoothly, the hips must blend naturally, and the buttocks must sit in a youthful position that complements your natural anatomy. Achieving that level of refinement requires advanced expertise in methods of body contouring surgery.
Dr. John Larson brings extensive experience in high-volume liposuction, circumferential contouring, complex skin excision, post-weight loss reconstruction, and lipedema treatment to every buttock lift he performs. His deep understanding of tissue behavior, skin elasticity, and silhouette balance allows him to create natural, proportionate results rather than over-corrected appearances. He prioritizes meticulous incision placement, careful layered closure, and personalized planning to promote optimal healing and stable shape.
Safety is central to his approach. Dr. Larson performs procedures in accredited facilities, follows established safety guidelines, and personally completes all critical aspects of surgery. When you choose Larson Aesthetics in Newport Beach, you are choosing a surgeon who understands proportion and balance; all delivered with thoughtful planning and concierge-level care.

How Buttock Lift Surgery Works
Dr. Larson personally performs each stage of the operation, including all suturing. The procedure typically includes:
- Strategic incision placement (often concealed in natural creases or along the upper buttocks)
- Excision of excess skin and underlying tissue
- Lifting and tightening of the remaining buttock tissues
- Targeted liposuction for additional contouring where needed
- Layered closure and compression placement
Buttock Lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia in an accredited surgical facility. Surgery length varies depending on the amount of tissue removed and any combined procedures, but most procedures last 2 to 4 hours.
What Can I Expect During Buttock Lift Recovery?
Recovery after a buttock lift requires commitment and proper positioning to protect incisions and support healing.
In the first 1 to 2 weeks, swelling, bruising, and soreness are expected. You will need to avoid prolonged direct pressure on the buttocks during early healing by using pillows and positioning techniques.
Most patients return to light work within 10 to 14 days. Gradual return to exercise typically occurs around 4 to 6 weeks, depending on healing progress.
Swelling continues to improve over several months, and final results become more visible as tissues settle and scars mature.
Since the procedure often addresses significant skin removal and may include liposuction, recovery includes both incision healing and contour refinement.

Orange County Buttock Lift – FAQs
How long do buttock lift results last?
Once the excess skin is permanently removed and the tissues are repositioned, results are generally long-lasting. Maintaining a stable weight is important. Significant weight gain or loss can affect skin elasticity over time. With healthy lifestyle habits, patients often enjoy their improved contour and lift for many years.
Will my buttock lift results look natural?
Because the procedure uses your own tissues through precise excision and tightening, a buttock lift typically looks and feels completely natural. However, natural results depend entirely on proportion and contour design.
Dr. Larson approaches buttock lift as a full-body contouring procedure. He focuses on sculpting the waist and lower back just as carefully as he lifts the buttocks. This creates a harmonious silhouette rather than an overdone or exaggerated appearance. During your consultation, he will discuss your aesthetic preferences and guide you toward a result that complements your frame and long-term goals.
Is buttock lift surgery safe?
Safety in buttock lift surgery depends on the surgeon’s training, experience, and adherence to established safety guidelines. When performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon using proper techniques and strict protocols, a buttock lift can be performed safely.
Dr. Larson follows nationally recognized safety standards and performs surgery in accredited facilities. He personally completes all aspects of the procedure and prioritizes thoughtful surgical planning over aggressive goals. Your safety is never secondary to aesthetic enhancement.
Can I combine a buttock lift with other procedures?
In select cases, yes. Because liposuction or additional contouring is often part of the plan, many patients combine a buttock lift with fat transfer, thigh lifts, tummy tuck, or further liposuction for comprehensive lower-body rejuvenation, especially common in lipedema treatment.
However, combination surgery must always be evaluated carefully. Surgical time, recovery demands, and safety are the primary considerations. Dr. Larson creates individualized plans and, when necessary, may recommend staging procedures to ensure your personal safety and optimal outcomes.
Will I lose weight with a buttock lift?
A buttock lift is not a weight-loss procedure. While excess skin and some fat are removed from targeted areas, the primary goal is reshaping, lifting, and improving proportion, not reducing the number on the scale. Many patients find that their clothing fits better and their silhouette appears smoother and more toned after surgery, even if their weight changes minimally.

Yes. Larson Aesthetics proudly welcomes patients from across the country.
