The Ultimate Guide to Butt Lift in Bangkok

Thinking about beautifying your booty? Why not look at butt lifts in Bangkok? Sagging buttocks can be improved with a butt lift, also known as a gluteoplasty. The ageing process, losing weight or just hereditary factors can be corrected with this procedure if exercise isn’t having the desired effect.

We can help you find quality-checked surgeons for around 50% less than you’d pay at home, so read on for further information.

Who is suitable for a butt lift procedure?

Irregularities such as flabby, sagging and loose skin can be removed and tightened. It is especially recommended if you have lost a lot of weight, provided your weight has not fluctuated much in the previous 12 months, or if you suffer discomfort or movement is a problem.

The procedure should not be confused with a Brazilian Butt Lift, which gives a fuller-looking, hour-glass shape by injecting fat into the buttocks, or putting in implants. However, sometimes after a butt lift procedure the effect may flatten the buttocks, in which case an augmentation procedure to add volume may be necessary.

Why get a butt lift in Bangkok?

Bangkok is a mesmerizing city. It is one of southeast Asia’s most important business cities – but amid the skyscrapers and glitzy shopping malls there are still signs of the old Bangkok to surprise and delight. It may sound like a cliché that there is much to see and do – but there really is. Samuel Johnson’s famous quote ‘When a man is tired of London he is tired of life’ could so aptly be applied to Bangkok.

An active promoter of medical tourism, Thailand’s success in bringing international patients began in Bangkok, around two decades ago. Since then, medical tourism income is now an established part of Thailand’s economy, and visitors continue to travel here from overseas for medical and dental care that is not only cheaper than at home, but often considerably better.

Bangkok may have some dubious facilities, but in general, doctors and clinics/hospitals working mostly with international patients are of a very high standard. If they weren’t, it is very unlikely medical tourism would have made such a big impact here, and why medical providers do not rest on their laurels in the delivery of their services. Remaining on top of their game in terms of expertise, customer service, new techniques and increasingly luxurious facilities ensures international patients still put the city as one of the most sought-after locations for their surgery trip.

We recognize that while cost is important for many international patients, so too is safety. Medical Departures has built on the success of its sister website, Dental Departures, to bring patients quality-checked medical and surgical facilities they can trust.

Our listings contain information about doctor qualifications and international professional memberships, virtual clinic tours and high-definition photos. With real patient testimonials patients are able to ‘look before they book’ and coming to their own decision about what surgeon to choose. We visit all our clinics and only list those we’re happy with ourselves. It is worrying enough having surgery abroad, so at least get as much peace-of-mind as you can by booking with someone whose credentials are verified.

How long does a butt lift procedure take?

Depending on the amount of fat and skin that is removed, a butt lift takes anything between three and six hours and is usually done under a general anesthetic, although sometimes a combination of sedation and local anesthesia is used.

There are several ways of doing a butt lift – one of the least invasive involves making two small incisions at the top of the buttocks into which an elastic thread is passed which pulls the buttock tissue upwards to lift and shape the area.

However, your surgeon will discuss the best option with you as the particular technique used will depend on how much fat and/or skin tissue will need removing.

What is the recovery time for a butt lift?

The recovery time is usually quite extensive and it will take a few weeks before you can take part in everyday activities again.

Immediately after surgery you will have tubes inserted into your wounds to drain away the fluids that collect under the skin. You will be encouraged to get up out of bed and move around as this aids healing, and you will probably be allowed to go home as long as you have someone with you for a night or two.

You may find it more comfortable to lie on your stomach for a little while as you are likely to suffer discomfort and tenderness. Most people are able to return to work after three weeks, but it will take up to 6 months’ before you have healed completely.
