THE PROCEDURE
What It Is
Aging, heredity, weight loss, and weight gain may all cause progressive loss of buttock shape by deflation and fat loss, sagging tissue with skin laxity, and disproportional fatty excess. Buttock or gluteal augmentation refers to improving buttock shape and proportion with either buttock gel implants, transfer of fat, or fat grafting, or sometimes a combination of the two.
The Brazilian Butt Lift by Dr. Frank Barone in Toledo, Ohio, is a popular term that refers to a combination of removal of excess fatty deposits in or around the buttocks by liposuction and then simultaneous fat transfer or implant augmentation of the buttocks.
The buttock, or gluteal lift, is a surgical procedure, often combined with a body lift (link) surgery, that elevates and supports sagging or loose buttock skin and tissue to a more youthful and balanced contour. Our team of specialists is here to help you achieve your goals if you’re searching for a butt lift near me.
A butt lift addresses common concerns like sagging, flatness, or imbalance—often caused by aging, weight changes, or genetics. Using advanced surgical techniques, fat grafting, or implants, Dr. Barone customizes each procedure to your unique anatomy. Whether performed on its own or alongside a body lift, a butt lift restores youthful shape, improves proportions, and enhances overall contour with natural-looking, long-lasting results.
How It Works
A butt lift in Toledo begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Barone. He will assess your goals and determine the ideal approach—whether fat transfer, implants, or skin tightening. Using advanced liposuction and fat grafting techniques, Dr. Barone enhances volume and symmetry while refining nearby areas like the hips or thighs for optimal contour. Surgical lifts address excess skin and loose tissue, while non-surgical options can improve tone and definition. Every plan is carefully tailored to deliver safe, natural-looking, and long-lasting results.

A butt lift is ideal for patients experiencing a loss of shape, firmness, or symmetry in the buttocks. This procedure treats concerns like flat or under-projected glutes, loose or wrinkled skin from aging or weight loss, and fat deposits that distort body balance. Whether your goal is better clothing fit or improved body confidence, a butt lift can effectively reshape and elevate your appearance by addressing both volume and contour.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I am a good candidate for buttock shaping surgery?
Can I improve buttock shape and contour without surgery?
EVOLV Plastic Surgery and Medical Aesthetics offers many state-of-the-art, non-surgical options in addition to cosmetic surgery that can reduce fat and tighten skin. If you have minor fatty and skin excess and laxity, Vanquish ME (link) and Exilis Ultra are state of the art, FDA cleared options for non-invasive office treatment. Vaser Liposuction (link) and Renuvion JPlasma (link) can effectively remove excess fat deposits, tighten tissue, and improve shape without larger surgical incisions and recovery times. In most cases, any significant shape and contour problems are most effectively and safely corrected by a properly designed buttock enhancement surgical plan that directly and properly restores balance and contour of the buttocks and hips. An examination and discussion of your goals with Dr. Barone and the EVOLV professional staff are the most effective ways to determine your best option.
How much does buttock enhancement surgery usually cost?
Buttock shaping surgery costs will depend on several factors including the extent of the surgery, whether other ancillary procedures are planned such as fat grafting, implant or liposuction, and the surgical facility and anesthesia. You will be provided with a specific and itemized surgical quote from our EVOLV Patient Coordinator explaining and detailing all related costs.
Are all buttock lift and shaping procedures basically the same?
Not at all…. techniques and approach can vary significantly depending on the training and experience of the plastic surgeon. Interested patients are often surprised to learn that physicians trained in unrelated specialties can also legally perform aesthetic procedures. Fat grafting harvest and gluteal augmentation require great extensive training, care and an experienced nursing and support staff for best results and safety. Dr. Barone also believes that a more comprehensive approach involving repositioning and deep support of aging tissue, proportional volume enhancement, a strict safety protocol, combined with balanced removal of excess fat rather than are the most effective methods to restore a long lasting and youthful appearance without an ‘operated’ or unnatural look with un-compromised patient safety.
What is the expected recovery time after a buttock shaping surgery and buttock lift?
Recovery or downtime after an aesthetic buttock shaping surgery will depend on the surgical technique and the number and extent of accompanying procedures as well as patient age and this should be individualized. It is helpful to remember that ‘recovery’ is a process and progresses thru stages. In general, operative procedures on the buttocks and thighs will involve more prolonged swelling and recovery. At EVOLV Plastic Surgery we believe in extensive pre-operative education and preparation as well as post-operative therapeutic services and maintenance to improve the patient experience and extend results. Post procedure lymphatic and sound wave massage, and LED phototherapy can significantly reduce downtime and improve healing. Our professional staff will review expected recovery times with you to assist with your post procedure planning.
How long do butt lift results last?
Results from a butt lift are long-lasting, especially with a stable weight. Fat transfer results may vary slightly, but most patients enjoy enhanced shape and volume for many years.
What’s the difference between a surgical butt lift and a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)?
A surgical butt lift removes excess skin and lifts tissue. A BBL enhances volume by transferring fat from other areas to the buttocks, offering a fuller, rounded appearance.
Can a butt lift improve loose or sagging skin after weight loss?
Yes, a surgical butt lift removes sagging skin and tightens the underlying tissue—restoring firmness and contour after significant weight loss or aging for a more balanced, youthful shape.
What should I expect during recovery after a butt lift procedure?
Recovery varies but typically involves swelling and soreness for a few weeks. Post-procedure therapies such as lymphatic massage and LED light treatment can accelerate healing. Full results may take a few months to develop.
Is a butt lift safe and what are the risks?
When performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Frank Barone, a butt lift is safe. Risks include infection, asymmetry, or fat absorption, which are minimized with expert care.
