About this Treatment
Butt Lift
Buttock enhancement, butt implants, buttock lift, ‘Brazilian Butt Lift’, and gluteal augmentation are all terms often used to represent aesthetic surgical procedures that improve the overall shape, volume, contour, and dimensions of the buttocks.

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.

How A Butt Lift Works
Step 01.
Your surgeon will assist you in determining whether gluteal augmentation with fat transfer or implant, or liposuction contouring and buttock lift in Toledo would best meet your expectations and goals.
Discussion of non-surgical options, if appropriate, will also be done. Patient photos are reviewed, and choices are discussed considering recovery time, costs, and desired expectations and results.
Dr. Barone takes the time to understand your priorities, body proportions, and aesthetic vision—ensuring your treatment plan is thoughtfully crafted just for you. During your consultation, he’ll evaluate whether fat transfer, implants, surgical lifting, or non-surgical options best suit your needs. Patient photos, recovery timelines, and pricing are reviewed so you feel confident and informed. Every detail is designed to align with your lifestyle and long-term aesthetic goals.
Step 02.
Buttock lift surgery in Toledo is done in an accredited outpatient surgery center under a light general anesthetic administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist and experienced licensed nursing staff. Revisions or minor procedures may be done in some cases in the office procedure room under a local anesthetic with oral sedation when appropriate.
The procedure is performed at a fully accredited outpatient facility with a focus on safety, comfort, and precision. Dr. Barone works with a licensed nursing team and a board-certified anesthesiologist to ensure every detail is managed with care. For minor revisions, some treatments may be performed in-office using local anesthesia and oral sedation, depending on the patient’s needs
Step 03.
Buttock surgical incisions will depend upon the type of procedure planned and the extent of correction needed to achieve a natural result. Incision placement is planned so that it will allow proper correction and be less noticeable. Excess fat removal by ultrasonic (Vaser) or power-assisted liposuction is done through small access incisions, typically within the skin to be removed or hidden in natural creases.
The incisions and techniques used depend on your unique anatomy and treatment plan. Dr. Barone places incisions strategically to minimize visibility and maximize results. Excess fat may be removed through advanced liposuction methods, including Vaser or power-assisted liposuction. These are performed through small entry points often hidden within natural creases or removed tissue.
Step 04.
After the planned anesthetic is given, a dilute solution of adrenaline and lidocaine (tumescent solution) is perfused throughout the surgical sites, and fatty excess is removed. This is essential to minimize bleeding and discomfort, allowing lower levels of general anesthetic and cooling the tissue for Vaser treatment.
If fat grafting is planned, a specific harvesting technique and fat collection system are used to purify and maximize fat cell viability. If implants are planned, they are placed with a special and strict sterile technique through small incisions in the buttock folds.
When simultaneous body lift surgery is done, the buttock lift is done through the posterior waistline incision. Long-acting nerve blocks (Exparel) are placed, and a specialized garment is applied to complete the procedure.
After anesthesia is administered, a tumescent solution is infused to reduce bleeding and improve comfort. Dr. Barone then uses advanced Vaser or power-assisted liposuction to remove fat and refine contour. For fat grafting, purified fat is precisely injected to enhance shape and symmetry. Implants, if used, are placed through small, hidden incisions with strict sterile technique. If combined with a body lift, the buttock lift is performed through a posterior waistline incision. Long-acting nerve blocks and a compression garment support healing.
Step 05.
You will return to the office in a few days after surgery for your first dressing change. You will see the visible improvements immediately, and they will continue to get better as swelling and bruising subside. With fat grafting or gluteal implants, positioning to reduce pressure on the buttocks will be discussed.
Post-operative treatments with lymphatic and sound wave massage, LED LightStim bed treatment, and other proven modalities will be available to reduce swelling, discomfort, and downtime. We will give you specific instructions and recommendations on activities and care of the operative site at each visit.
You’ll return for your first dressing change within a few days post-surgery. Visible improvements are immediate and continue to enhance as swelling decreases. Dr. Barone will guide you on optimal positioning to protect grafted fat or implants. Post-op care may include lymphatic massage, LED LightStim therapy, and other treatments to accelerate healing and minimize downtime. Each visit includes detailed instructions to ensure a safe and smooth recovery.

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.
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.
