Buttock lift
Your Specialists for Buttock Lift
A well-shaped buttocks defines the silhouette, creates balanced proportions, and highlights individual expression. However, many people are dissatisfied with the shape or firmness of their buttocks—especially after weight fluctuations, or as a result of natural aging and skin sagging. Dimples, uneven skin, and excess tissue can disrupt the aesthetic appearance and affect self-confidence.
A buttock lift can remove excess skin, lift the buttocks, and improve its contours. By redistributing existing fat tissue, the shape can be harmonized, and the surface smoothed.
At clinic utoquai in Zurich, we use precise incision techniques, scar-minimizing methods, and individually planned proportions. Depending on your unique situation, the buttock lift can be combined with liposuction or buttock augmentation with implants to enhance volume, transitions, and the waistline—for a natural result that suits you.

Procedure for Buttock Lift
Consultation
During a personal consultation, we assess your anatomy, skin quality, and proportions, and discuss your goals. We explain appropriate incision techniques, realistic outcomes, and the aftercare process. You’ll have ample opportunity to ask any questions, ensuring you feel well-informed and confident going into your procedure.
Preparation
It’s recommended to avoid alcohol, nicotine, and blood-thinning medications approximately two weeks before the surgery. You’ll also receive personalized recommendations for preparation and recovery planning.
Treatment
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically lasts 1–2 hours, depending on the scope of the correction. Incision placement is carefully planned to minimize visible scarring. Excess skin and, in some cases, fat tissue are removed. The remaining tissue is repositioned to lift the buttocks and refine the contour. Targeted redistribution of subcutaneous fat can further refine the shape of the buttocks, emphasize the waist, and create a harmonized overall profile. For patients undergoing a buttock lift after significant weight loss, combining the procedure with implants or liposuction is often suggested to add volume and improve transitions.
Aftercare
After surgery, it’s important to rest and follow recovery guidelines. Wear prescribed compression garments for 6 weeks to reduce swelling and stabilize the results. Most routine activities can often be resumed after 2–3 weeks, but sports and strenuous physical activities should be avoided for 6 weeks. Most patients can return to work about two weeks post-operation.
Cost of Buttock Lift in Zurich
The costs vary depending on the extent of the correction, skin quality, and any combination treatments (e.g., liposuction, implants). We will create a transparent, personalized cost plan during your consultation. Prices for buttock lift surgery generally start at 12,000 CHF. In most cases, health insurers do not cover buttock lifts in Switzerland. However, cost-sharing may be possible in exceptional situations (e.g., after massive weight loss), pending prior approval.
