Lola’s case
Lola is 40 years old and came to the clinic concerned about the drooping of her buttocks, despite spending many hours at the gym. At first glance she was a slim, muscular patient, yet the appearance of her buttocks bore no resemblance to the effort she had put into her body.
She presented clear sagging and skin laxity in the gluteal area – something that exercise alone cannot correct once skin looseness is already established.
Why she sought a consultation
Lola’s main concern was drooping buttocks and loose skin. Despite her slim, athletic build, she had visibly lax skin with evident skin sagging in the gluteal area.
She wanted to recover a higher, more youthful position of the buttocks without resorting to implants: she did not want prostheses, and she also did not have enough fat for a meaningful fat transfer augmentation.
Medical assessment
The examination confirmed the diagnosis: skin laxity and clear skin sagging in the gluteal area, despite a very well-developed musculature. The problem was not one of volume or muscle, but of the skin covering the area.
Being a slim patient, she did not have sufficient body fat to plan an effective fat transfer to the buttocks: there would not be enough donor material to achieve a meaningful result.
Surgical plan
Given the lack of sufficient fat for an augmentation by fat transfer and Lola’s refusal to use implants, a gluteal pexy (buttock lift) was indicated as the most appropriate solution for her case.
The goal of this technique is to remove the excess skin and tighten the tissues to elevate the buttock to a more harmonious position, correcting the skin sagging without adding artificial volume.
The procedure
A buttock lift was performed, focused on resecting the excess skin tissue and repositioning the gluteal area to correct the drooping. By removing the surplus skin and adjusting the tissues, the buttock was effectively elevated while respecting Lola’s anatomy, without the need for implants or fat transfer.
Gluteal pexy is the indicated technique when the main problem is skin laxity and sagging, not a lack of volume. In these cases, adding volume without correcting the skin would not resolve the underlying problem.
Post-op and result
After the surgery, Lola’s buttocks were visibly more elevated and defined. Her silhouette was firmer and more in keeping with the athletic body she already had thanks to her work at the gym. The result was very satisfying: correction of the drooping and a marked improvement of the gluteal contour.
At NATURAL FIT® Body Contouring’s own functional training centres, Lola was able to tone the buttocks with specialist personal trainers and learn healthy habits and routines to maintain the result long term. She subsequently incorporated these routines into her personal life, training on her own with the foundation she built during the process.
