What is this new, groundbreaking surgical procedure that has gone viral and is making waves in the world of aesthetic body contouring?
Inspired by the iconic curves of South Beach and a rising demand for natural-looking enhancements, the Miami Thong Lift offers patients a way to achieve a sculpted, lifted, and thong-ready silhouette, combining precision and artistry in a way that has quickly boosted its popularity.
This specialized cosmetic surgery enhances the shape and appearance of the buttocks, achieving natural-looking, contoured, lifted buttocks and a sculpted shape that accentuates the body’s natural curves. Unlike a more traditional Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), which focuses on adding overall volume to the buttocks, the Miami Thong Lift aims to refine the curve and shape of the lower buttocks, creating a seamless transition that enhances the individual’s appearance in a bikini or thong – all with a relatively short, two-week recovery on average.
Houston plastic surgeon Dr. Kristy Hamilton enhances the shape and contour of the buttocks – creating curvier buttocks and a perky, lifted, beautiful shape with minimal downtime and lasting results. She performs this technique by meticulously removing excess skin and fat from the lower buttocks to make them curvy and peach-like, placing the incisions within the intergluteal crease between the buttocks – which are covered by a thong – hence the name! The aesthetic enhancement creates a smoother, sleeker, more youthful and harmonious, symmetrical appearance to the buttocks.

WHAT IS THE MIAMI THONG LIFT?
A Miami Thong Lift is an aesthetic buttock enhancement that corrects sagging, droopy buttocks using smaller incisions than a traditional Buttock Lift. With the Miami Thong Lift, the incisions are completely hidden in the gluteal cleft (between the buttock “cheeks”) – meaning scarring is not visible. Who is a good candidate? Those individuals seeking the procedure often display early sagging of the buttocks and/or they desire lifting of the inner lower quadrant of the buttocks due to natural changes in body composition over time.
WHAT ARE THE MAIN BENEFITS OF A MIAMI THONG LIFT?
The Miami Thong Lift has become a popular option for patients seeking to refine their physique with minimal downtime. This innovative lift prioritizes natural proportions, creating a seamless curve that flatters the body’s natural shape. The targeted approach ensures that the results are subtle, natural-looking, yet transformative.
Dr. Hamilton customizes this innovative lift to enhance body contour, creating a more sculpted appearance and aesthetically-pleasing shape to the buttocks, causing flat and drooping buttocks to become youthful and perky.
While the surgery involves small incisions, the lift is powerful as is the cellulite reduction capacity. Dr. Hamilton strategically places the small incisions between the buttocks, mimicking the placement of a thong’s resting point, a technique that ensures that scars are discreetly hidden with patients experiencing near-invisible scarring and a quicker recovery. Many individuals report a boost in self-confidence because their body has been optimized beautifully, yielding long-lasting, durable, youthful results that can be maintained with a healthy lifestyle. Unlike more invasive procedures that require extensive recovery time, the Miami Thong Lift typically has a shorter recovery period, making it an appealing option for those patients with active lifestyles.
One of the key appeals of the Miami Thong Lift is how it enhances the appearance of patients in more revealing clothing, from swimwear to lingerie. By focusing on the curve of the lower buttocks, it helps create a smoother, more defined shape, perfect for feeling confident in any wardrobe.
The Miami Thong Lift corrects a double butt (called “double butt deformity”), two distinct creases under the buttock, which occurs when the lower aspect of the buttocks hangs over onto the lower legs. Dr. Hamilton removes the excess tissue that creates a visible fold extending below the natural buttocks to refine the body.
WHAT DOES THE MIAMI THONG LIFT PROCEDURE ENTAIL?
Using a tailored approach, Dr. Hamilton customizes each procedure to the patient’s anatomy and desired outcome, ensuring a natural look. Dr. Hamilton lifts, contours and smooths the lower, inner quadrant of the buttocks.
She excises a portion of each buttock to elevate each to a higher position, creating proportionate features for each patient. She removes excess skin and fat, making an incision in the lower portion of the natural crease to ensure minimal scarring that is completely concealed inside the gluteal cleft. The remaining tissue is lifted and sutured to enhance the shape of the buttocks and lower back, creating a smoother, tighter appearance. The incisions are closed with sutures, minimizing visible scarring, and the remaining tissue is lifted and sutured for a tighter appearance.
A Miami Thong Lift focuses on lifting and contouring the lower body to create a more sculpted appearance, often associated with a youthful, athletic look. A Miami Thong Lift can be a great alternative for those individuals who would like a surgical Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) to shape and augment their buttocks (between the buttocks), yet they wish to avoid the downtime incurred by a BBL.
Dr. Hamilton also combines Avéli® Cellulite Treatment to permanently eliminate cellulite on the upper buttocks and thighs. She targets, cuts, and releases the septa bands that tether the cellulite dimples, creating a smooth surface and a lasting elimination of cellulite dimples in one single procedure.
Liposuction can be added to a Miami Thong Lift to reduce excess fatty tissue in specific buttocks areas, helping to create a smoother and more even contour.
Dr. Hamilton can combine a Miami Thong Lift with any type of breast surgery (including breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction, or breast implant exchange) to enhance the upper-body shape and silhouette.
She also can pair a Miami Thong Lift with a conservative Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), extracting excess fat via Liposuction that is harvested from other areas of the body (such as the abdomen, flanks, and back) to add lift and volume to the buttocks. With liposuction, patients enjoy the added benefit of a slimmer waistline or thighs, while enhancing the volume of their buttocks and hips and also the curvature of their buttocks and back. She then performs Fat Transfer to the Buttocks and Hips, injecting the patient’s own excess fat strategically into the buttocks and hips – enabling highly personalized results. Dr. Hamilton can focus on creating smooth contours that make this procedure a top choice for those seeking a more refined, natural aesthetic – or she can focus on producing dramatic augmentation for accentuated contouring and volumization of the buttocks and hips. Sculpting the precise areas that require enhancement creates beautiful, athletic yet feminine curves – delivering additional sculpting, a more balanced appearance to the body, and a truly bespoke contour.
Dr. Hamilton also can combine a Miami Thong Lift with buttock re-shaping and augmentation using injections of Biostimulators – a comprehensive approach that enables precise customization, creating harmonious, symmetrical buttock proportions.
A Miami Thong Lift can also be combined with Labiaplasty and Fat Transfer to the Labia Majora – the Outer Lips, which are two outer folds of skin that protect the vulva, the external part of the female genitalia. Dr. Hamilton reduces the labia minora (inner lips) to prevent them from hanging below the labia majora (outer lips). She also can perform liposuction and transfer the patient’s own autologous fat to the labia majora to further optimize the region.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MIAMI THONG LIFT AND A BBL?
A Miami Thong Lift and Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) both enhance and lift buttocks, yet they are different. 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. A BBL is preferred if the patient desires buttocks that are volumized permanently. A Miami Thong Lift surgery makes a tiny vertical incision in the buttocks and holds the buttocks in a higher position without adding any additional volume.
WHAT IS RECOVERY LIKE AFTER A MIAMI THONG LIFT?
A Miami Thong Lift can be an option for people who desire contoured, curvy buttocks. After a Miami Thong Lift, patients can expect some discomfort such as bruising and swelling for one or two weeks on average, then enjoy their body’s new, defined curves. Enjoy curvy, lifted, beautifully-shaped buttocks with a Miami Thong Lift, a sculpted look often seen on models and celebrities.
WHY IS THE MIAMI THONG LIFT TRENDING?
The Miami Thong Lift is resonating with a new generation of patients who prioritize natural beauty and balanced enhancement. While procedures like the Brazilian Butt Lift remain popular, there is a growing trend toward subtlety and refinement in the world of aesthetic surgery. Patients are seeking ways to enhance their natural assets without appearing overly augmented, and the Miami Thong Lift perfectly captures this balance.
Plastic surgeons are embracing this trend, seeing it as a way to blend their artistic eye with precision techniques. Dr. Kristy Hamilton notes, “The Miami Thong Lift is an exciting option for patients who would like to enhance their natural curves. It enables me to create a beautiful contour that fits seamlessly with the patient’s own anatomy.”
A NEW ERA IN BODY CONTOURING
As interest in the Miami Thong Lift continues to rise, it is clear that this procedure represents a new era in body contouring – one that focuses on enhancing natural beauty, embracing subtlety, and celebrating each patient’s unique physique. With its promise of a sculpted, lifted look and minimal downtime, the Miami Thong Lift is redefining what is possible in aesthetic surgery, offering patients a new way to achieve their dream curves.
For those seeking to enhance their silhouette and enjoy the confidence that comes with it, the Miami Thong Lift captures the appeal of a natural, contoured, and elegant look that is here to stay.
