Anybody who has loose, sagging skin that is causing concern, either from a comfort or aesthetic point of view, could well benefit from a butt lift.
Why get a butt lift in the Philippines?
The main advantage of getting your butt lift in the Philippines is the substantial saving that you will make. Prices for the surgery are, on average, around 70% cheaper than you will find in Australia and New Zealand. Don’t be deceived into thinking that, because of the low fees, the quality will be compromised - the service and care that you receive will be every bit as good as you would expect to get at home. You can browse through our list of recommended clinics and see for yourself. To verify qualifications and any affiliations to international professional organizations, such as the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, background checks are performed. Site visits are made to ensure that the clinics have suitable facilities, and reviews from former patients are also available for your perusal.
There are no language issues as most Filpinos can speak English, and their hospitable nature makes the Philippines the ideal location to recover after your surgery. With over seven thousand islands making up the Philippines, there is much diversity to explore. Manila, the national capital, is one of the most densely populated cities in the world and is ideal for those who love the hustle and bustle of modern city life. If you prefer a cooler climate, you might prefer the Baguio mountain weather - the city being located at an altitude of 1450 meters above sea level.
Other sites worthy of exploration include Tagbilaran, the historical site of the Sandugo, and Vigan, a UNESCO World Heritage Site famed for the fusion of European and Filipino architecture.
Am I suitable for a butt lift?
Sagging can be caused by your genetic makeup or it could be part of the aging process. Weight loss could also be a factor, but it is recommended in these instances that your weight has remained constant for twelve months before considering a butt lift.
What does a butt lift procedure involve?
An incision is made across the lower back from hip bone to hip bone. The length of the incision is dependant upon the size of reduction that is desired.
If there is excess fat in the hip region, liposuction may be performed above the incision to remove it. Generally, liposuction is not performed in the buttock during the lift.
Using internal sutures, fat and hanging skin in the buttock is undermined and raised to a new position using internal sutures. After any excess skin has been removed, the incision is closed with sutures.
How long does a butt lift procedure take?
The duration depends on how much skin and fat needs to be removed, although the process is generally completed within three to six hours. The procedure is usually performed under a general anesthetic, but you may be administered a combination of local anesthesia and sedation.
Afterwards, you may be required to wear a compression garment and have surgical drains in place to remove fluid.
What is the recovery time?
You will experience some discomfort once the anesthetic has worn off and you will be swollen and red for a number of weeks, possibly months, after the procedure. You will not be discharged until you are able to move around and walk comfortably.
It will usually take two to three weeks for you to be able to carry out your everyday activities normally, but it is recommended that you avoid strenuous activities, including lifting, for at least a month.
