Liposuction of the Buttocks. Can buttock Liposuction be performed with buttock lift?
Since the normal aging process affects the firmness and elasticity of the skin, older patients may not achieve quite the same results as younger patients. Buttocks Liposuction is often performed in conjunction with a buttocks lift or with thigh Liposuction. It is important to remember when considering Liposuction that shaping the buttocks is more important than reducing the size. Excess removal of fatty tissue in the buttocks can result in an asymmetrical, lumpy, or sagging appearance. The buttocks serve the functional purpose of acting as a soft cushion on which to sit, and are also important in the overall aesthetic appearance of the body. Surgeons should approach Liposuction of the buttocks with the subtle touch of an artist, and should always use a micro-cannula, not more than three millimeters (1/8 inch) in diameter.
