Excess fat is usually removed from surrounding regions such as the hips, waist, abdomen inner thighs or love handles. The glutes look firm and rejuvenated after the procedure. Additionally, the area that acted as a donor is more slender after liposuction, so that the patient benefits from both butt lift and liposuction.
