Buttock reshaping surgery must address the whole back, flanks, hip and thigh as one unit. In this way, it can be thought of as a back, buttock and thigh remodelling procedure.

No procedure should be carried out on the buttock area or the posterior contour without a full assessment and complete understanding of its complexity. Patients seeking treatment should be made aware of the potential risk factors associated with any surgical procedure.

Plan Your Recontouring Surgery

The Consultation

It is fundamental to understand the differences between the female and male buttocks. A woman’s buttock is characterized by curvy lines, round volumes and prominent projection, while a man’s buttock is characterized by straight lines, square volumes and side depressions.

After Surgery

You will require a simple compression dressing on the back area for a week. You will also require pain killers and antibiotics during this period. A follow up appointment will be arranged for removal of the dressings and wound check. The sutures are dissolvable and therefore do not need to be removed.

Back to work and normal activities

You encourage you to commence walking immediately after surgery. You will need to take it lightly for the first 24-48 hours. Back to light duties in 1-week time.

Back to normal activities in 2-4 weeks’ time.

Yes, large buttocks can be reduced through medical cosmetic procedures when excess volume is caused by fat or disproportionate tissue. The most common method is liposuction, which removes excess fat to create a smaller, more balanced shape.

The procedure is commonly performed using liposuction, sometimes combined with skin tightening or lifting techniques if there is excess skin.

You may be suitable if you have overly prominent buttocks, excess fat, or disproportionate lower-body volume, and have good overall health and stable weight.

Skin elasticity is carefully assessed before surgery. If skin laxity is present, additional contouring or lifting techniques may be recommended to avoid sagging.

The procedure typically takes 1–2 hours, depending on the areas treated and the amount of fat removed.

Most patients return to light activities within 1–2 weeks, with full recovery usually taking 4–6 weeks.

Discomfort, swelling, and bruising are expected but generally manageable with medication and compression garments.

Scars are minimal and usually very small, as liposuction incisions are placed discreetly and fade over time.

Fat cells removed do not return. However, weight gain can cause remaining fat cells to enlarge, which may affect results.

Results are long-lasting when weight is kept stable and a healthy lifestyle is maintained.

Light walking can begin early, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for 4–6 weeks, or until cleared by your surgeon.
