Miami thong lift : buttocks curvier, lifted and perky

The Miami Thong Lift is a cosmetic surgery designed to lift and reshape the buttocks, addressing concerns like sagging, flatness, or a boxy appearance, particularly in the lower buttock region. Unlike the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), which primarily focuses on adding volume through fat transfer, the Miami Thong Lift emphasizes lifting and sculpting.

The procedure involves removing excess skin and tightening tissues through an incision discreetly placed within the natural crease between the buttocks. This strategic incision placement aims to minimize visible scarring, allowing it to be concealed even by a thong.

Ideal candidates are individuals experiencing early sagging, desiring a lift in the lower buttock, or seeking a more defined and toned backside. While the recovery period can last up to two weeks, the Miami Thong Lift offers long-lasting results, providing a smoother, more aesthetically pleasing lower buttock with an enhanced silhouette.

What is a Miami Thong Lift ?

• The Miami Thong Lift is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the lower buttock cheeks.
• It aims to correct sagging, flatness, or a boxy appearance in the buttocks.
• The goal is to reshape and refine the contours of the buttocks, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the backside.
• The procedure can create a smoother, more aesthetically pleasing lower buttock with less sagging and a more defined silhouette.
• Some surgeons describe it as a technique to sculpt the lower curvature of the buttock into a « peach » shape.
• The procedure is named so because the incision is placed in the natural crease between the buttocks, where it can be concealed by a thong.

 How it Works ?

• The procedure involves a discreet incision within the natural butt fold.
• Excess skin and sometimes fat are excised from the buttock area to lift and reshape it.
• The surgeon manipulates the underlying tissue and fat, sometimes using liposuction, fat grafting, or implants to achieve the desired results.
• The incisions are carefully closed using sutures.
• Dressings or compression garments may be applied to minimize swelling.

Miami Thong Lift vs. Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)

• Miami Thong Lift: Focuses on lifting and reshaping the buttocks, correcting sagging, flatness, or a boxy appearance. It emphasizes a perky, elevated contour and often involves removing excess skin and tightening the tissue, with optional fat grafting for added volume.
• Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL): A BBL removes excess fat from targeted areas of the body, then the fat is injected into the buttocks, obtaining a lift from the extra fat injected into the buttocks themselves and focuses on adding overall volume to the buttocks.
• The Miami Thong Lift is often used in conjunction with fat transfer to the buttocks to get more of a lift with less fat fill.
• The Miami Thong Lift is ideal if the patient desires a sculpted, lifted appearance with a natural curve.
• A BBL is preferred if the patient desires buttocks that are volumized permanently.

 Incisions and Scarring

• A key feature of the Miami Thong Lift is the placement of incisions within the gluteal cleft (the area between the buttocks).
• The incision is typically small and vertical.
• This placement aims to make scarring as discreet and hidden as possible.

Good Candidates

• Individuals displaying early sagging of the buttocks.
• Those who desire lifting of the inner lower quadrant of the buttocks.
• People with a flat-shaped behind.
• Individuals with fat deposits in the thigh, stomach, and hip area.
• People with an uneven shape of derriere.

Recovery

• The recovery experience depends on the extent of the correction.
• The recovery period for a lift can last up to two weeks.
• Patients may need to avoid sitting flat to prevent compromising results.
• Some discomfort, such as bruising and swelling, is to be expected.
• Light activities can usually be resumed within a week or two, but strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for several weeks.

Potential Risks and Complications

• Like all surgical procedures, the Miami Thong Lift carries potential risks:
• Infection
• Bleeding
• Asymmetry
• Numbness or altered sensation
• Poor wound healing
• Seroma or hematoma (an accumulation of fluid)
• Skin irregularities, such as dimpling or puckering
• Anesthesia risks

Results

• A smoother, more aesthetically pleasing lower buttock.
• A more defined silhouette.
• A more athletic and toned backside.
• Enhanced appearance in clothing, especially swimwear and thongs.
• Long-lasting results, especially with a stable weight.

Miami Thong Lift vs. Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)

Both the Miami Thong Lift and the Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) are surgical procedures designed to enhance the appearance of the buttocks. However, they achieve this goal through different techniques, target different concerns, and offer distinct results. Understanding the nuances of each procedure is crucial for individuals considering buttock augmentation to make an informed decision that aligns with their aesthetic goals and body type.

Core Principles and Goals

• Miami Thong Lift: The primary goal of the Miami Thong Lift is to lift and reshape the buttocks by removing excess skin and tightening underlying tissues. It addresses sagging, flatness, or a boxy appearance, particularly in the lower buttock region. The procedure aims to create a more sculpted, toned, and youthful buttock contour.
• Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL): The BBL focuses on augmenting the size and shape of the buttocks by transferring fat from other areas of the body (typically the abdomen, thighs, or flanks) to the buttocks. The goal is to increase volume, improve the overall shape, and create a more rounded and curvaceous appearance. The BBL provides a lift to the buttocks by adding volume, which in turn, lifts the buttocks.

Surgical Technique

• Miami Thong Lift:
  • Incision: A discreet incision is made within the natural crease between the buttocks (gluteal fold).
  • Skin Excision: Excess skin is removed to eliminate sagging and create a smoother contour.
  • Tissue Tightening: Underlying tissues may be tightened to provide additional support and lift.
  • Optional Fat Grafting: In some cases, fat grafting may be performed to add volume to specific areas of the buttocks for enhanced shape and projection.
• Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL):
  • Liposuction: Fat is harvested from donor areas using liposuction techniques.
  • Fat Processing: The harvested fat is purified and prepared for injection.
  • Fat Injection: The purified fat is strategically injected into different layers of the buttocks to create the desired shape and volume.

Ideal Candidates

• Miami Thong Lift:
  • Individuals with mild to moderate sagging of the buttocks due to aging, weight loss, or genetics.
  • Those seeking a lift and reshaping of the lower buttock area.
  • Individuals with good skin elasticity.
  • Those who desire a more sculpted and toned buttock appearance.
• Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL):
  • Individuals with sufficient excess fat in donor areas for liposuction.
  • Those seeking to increase the size and volume of their buttocks.
  • Individuals with good skin elasticity.
  • Those who desire a more rounded and curvaceous buttock shape.

Incisions and Scarring

• Miami Thong Lift: The incision is strategically placed within the gluteal fold to minimize visibility. Scarring is typically minimal and well-concealed.
• Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL): The BBL involves small incisions for liposuction in the donor areas and tiny injection sites in the buttocks. Scarring is generally minimal.

Recovery

• Miami Thong Lift:
  • Recovery Time: Initial recovery typically takes 1-2 weeks.
  • Post-operative Care: Compression garments are worn to minimize swelling and support the tissues. Patients are advised to avoid sitting directly on their buttocks for several weeks to allow for proper healing.
  • Activity Restrictions: Strenuous activities and heavy lifting are restricted for several weeks.
• Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL):
  • Recovery Time: Initial recovery typically takes 2-3 weeks.
  • Post-operative Care: Compression garments are worn to minimize swelling and support the tissues. Patients are advised to avoid sitting directly on their buttocks for several weeks, often using a special pillow to transfer pressure to the thighs.
  • Activity Restrictions: Strenuous activities and heavy lifting are restricted for several weeks.

Risks and Complications

• Miami Thong Lift:
  • Common Risks: Bleeding, infection, hematoma, seroma, poor wound healing, scarring, asymmetry, numbness, skin irregularities.
  • Rare Risks: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), anesthesia complications.
• Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL):
  • Common Risks: Bleeding, infection, hematoma, seroma, scarring, asymmetry, skin irregularities, fat necrosis (death of fat cells).
  • Serious Risks: Fat embolism (fat entering the bloodstream and traveling to the lungs or brain), which can be life-threatening. This is a rare but serious complication associated with BBL procedures when fat is injected into the muscle.

Results

• Miami Thong Lift:
  • Expected Results: A lifted, more toned, and sculpted buttock appearance. Reduction in sagging and improved contour.
  • Longevity: Results are generally long-lasting, especially with a stable weight.
• Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL):
  • Expected Results: Increased buttock volume, improved shape, and a more rounded appearance.
  • Longevity: The longevity of BBL results depends on factors such as the amount of fat that survives the transfer process (typically 60-80%), weight fluctuations, and lifestyle.

Combining Procedures

• In some cases, the Miami Thong Lift and BBL can be combined to achieve a comprehensive buttock enhancement. The Miami Thong Lift can address sagging and reshape the buttocks, while the BBL can add volume and further improve the overall shape.

Choosing the Right Procedure

The choice between the Miami Thong Lift and the Brazilian Butt Lift depends on individual goals, body type, and preferences.

• Consider a Miami Thong Lift if:
  • Your primary concern is sagging or a lack of definition in the lower buttocks.
  • You desire a more sculpted and toned buttock appearance.
  • You have good skin elasticity.
  • You do not necessarily need a significant increase in buttock volume.
• Consider a Brazilian Butt Lift if:
  • Your primary goal is to increase the size and volume of your buttocks.
  • You desire a more rounded and curvaceous buttock shape.
  • You have sufficient excess fat in donor areas for liposuction.
