Gluteal Lift Surgery

What is the procedure/How is it performed?

Ideal hip structure is round and prominent backwards, has an appearance that muscles are not distinct, is not overflowing to the sides and has a short up and down distance. Hip reshaping surgery could be performed to have this appearance. Hip shape could be made more beautiful and lifted owing to liposuction and a more feminine, sharper and prominent hip appearance could be obtained with hip prosthesis “gluteal implant”. Combination of both liposuction and hip prosthesis could provide a better result in some patients. Besides, hip could be shaped with gluteal lift surgery which is a conventional method.

It takes about one-three hours.

What kind of anesthesia is used?

The surgery is performed under intravenous sedation or general anesthesia.

How long is hospitalization? 

This could be a day-case procedure or require the patient to stay in hospital for one-two days.

How does the recovery period progress?
