Butt Reduction Surgery in The Woodlands, TX
Achieve Natural, Balanced Proportions with Dr. Wilberto Cortes
Introduction
While fuller curves are often desired, some patients experience the opposite challenge — an overly large or disproportionate buttock area that affects comfort, posture, and self-confidence. Butt Reduction Surgery, also known as buttock reduction or gluteal contouring, is a specialized cosmetic procedure designed to reduce excess fat, tissue, and skin from the buttocks to create a more balanced, proportionate silhouette.
At Rejuvena Aesthetics in The Woodlands, TX, Dr. Wilberto Cortes, a board-certified plastic surgeon, offers advanced techniques in gluteal reshaping with safety, precision, and artistry. His approach is patient-centered — focused on achieving results that look natural, fit your body’s proportions, and restore overall harmony.
Why Consider Butt Reduction Surgery?
Patients seek buttock reduction for several personal and physical reasons, including:
- Discomfort or mobility issues due to large or heavy buttocks
- Difficulty finding clothes that fit properly or that accentuate natural curves
- Sagging or uneven contour after major weight loss
- Genetic predisposition to larger buttocks despite fitness efforts
- Desire for a smoother, more athletic silhouette
The goal of the procedure is not to “flatten” the area but to reshape and refine the contour to complement your body’s frame and proportions.
Dr. Wilberto Cortes: Experience and Precision
Dr. Wilberto Cortes is known for his meticulous technique and attention to detail in body contouring. His surgical philosophy emphasizes balance, proportion, and natural aesthetics. With years of experience in advanced liposuction and gluteal reshaping techniques, Dr. Cortes delivers results that enhance body harmony while maintaining patient safety as the top priority.
Understanding the Procedure
1. Liposuction-Based Reduction
For many patients, liposuction alone is sufficient to achieve the desired contour. Using fine cannulas and strategic sculpting, Dr. Cortes removes targeted fat deposits while preserving the smooth curvature of the buttocks. This method is ideal for patients with good skin elasticity and minimal sagging.
2. Excision or Lift Technique
When significant skin laxity is present — often following major weight loss — a skin excision or buttock lift may be performed. This involves removing excess skin and fat through discreet incisions, tightening the area, and lifting the buttocks to a more youthful position.
3. Combination Approach
In some cases, both liposuction and limited excision are combined to optimize contour and skin tone. Dr. Cortes customizes each surgical plan based on anatomy, goals, and the degree of reduction desired.
The Surgical Process
Anesthesia: The surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation for patient comfort.
Duration: The procedure usually takes between 2 to 4 hours, depending on complexity.
Incisions: Small, well-concealed incisions are made in natural folds to minimize visibility.
Sculpting: Fat is removed or repositioned to create balanced symmetry and smooth transitions.
Closure: Dissolvable sutures are placed, and a compression garment is applied to support healing.
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery time varies with the extent of surgery, but most patients resume normal activities within 2 to 3 weeks and light exercise by week 4–6. Full results are typically visible within 3 to 4 months as swelling subsides.
General Recovery Guidelines:
- Days 1–3: Mild soreness and swelling are expected; use prescribed pain medication as needed.
- Weeks 1–2: Continue wearing your compression garment; avoid sitting directly on the buttocks for long periods.
- Weeks 3–6: Gradually increase activity; maintain healthy nutrition and hydration.
- Months 2–4: Resume all normal activities; scars will continue to fade.
Dr. Cortes and his team provide detailed post-operative instructions, follow-up visits, and personalized support to ensure a smooth and safe recovery.

The amount varies by patient anatomy and safety guidelines, but Dr. Cortes focuses on achieving a natural, balanced appearance rather than aggressive fat removal.

How soon can I sit after surgery?
Patients are usually advised to avoid prolonged sitting for 2 to 3 weeks, using special cushions when needed to avoid pressure on healing areas.
