Buttock Reduction in Burnsville

Buttock reduction, sometimes referred to as gluteal reduction or lower body contouring, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to reduce excess volume in the buttocks and improve overall body balance. The procedure typically involves liposuction and targeted fat removal to create a more proportionate, streamlined lower body shape.

At Arijai Aesthetics, we provide customized buttock reduction procedures for patients throughout Burnsville, Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the greater Twin Cities area who feel their lower body is disproportionately full compared to their frame. For many patients, genetics, natural fat distribution, or weight changes can lead to excess volume in the buttocks that does not respond to diet and exercise alone. Our goal is to refine and reshape the area so the body appears more balanced and naturally contoured.

Buttock reduction is focused on improving proportion and contour in the lower body rather than adding volume. Many patients in the Minneapolis–St. Paul area choose this procedure when they feel their natural shape is overly full in the buttocks or when clothing fit and comfort are affected.

Benefits of buttock reduction may include:

• Reducing excess fullness in the buttocks
• Improving balance between the waist, hips, and thighs
• Creating a more proportionate lower body silhouette
• Enhancing natural body contours
• Improving clothing fit and comfort
• Smoothing transitions between body areas
• Long-lasting body contouring results
• Increasing confidence in appearance

Buttock reduction may be a good option for individuals who feel their lower body is disproportionately large compared to the rest of their frame. Ideal candidates are typically healthy, stable in weight, and looking for contour improvement rather than weight loss.

You may be a candidate if you have:

• Excess volume in the buttocks
• Disproportionate lower body shape
• Difficulty finding well-fitting clothing
• Good skin elasticity
• Stable body weight
• Overall good health
• Realistic expectations for surgical outcomes

During your consultation, our providers will evaluate your anatomy and determine whether buttock reduction alone or combined with other body contouring procedures will best achieve your goals.

Is buttock reduction the same as a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL)?

No. Buttock reduction decreases volume by removing fat, while a Brazilian Butt Lift increases volume using fat transfer. They are opposite procedures designed for different aesthetic goals.

How long is recovery after buttock reduction?

Most patients experience swelling, bruising, and soreness for the first 1–2 weeks after surgery. Many return to light daily activities within 7–10 days depending on their healing progress. Compression garments are typically worn for several weeks to support recovery and help achieve optimal contouring results. Strenuous exercise and prolonged pressure on the area should be avoided until cleared by your provider.

Will I have visible scars?

Incisions are very small and placed in discreet areas to minimize visibility. Over time, they typically fade significantly and become difficult to notice.

How long do results last?

Results from buttock reduction are long-lasting. Fat cells removed during the procedure do not return, though maintaining a stable weight is important to preserve results over time.

If you feel your lower body appears overly full or out of proportion, buttock reduction can help create a more balanced and refined silhouette.
