How the Cleft-Lift Works
Targeted Removal
Diseased tissue, sinus tracts, and abscesses are carefully excised through a small incision along the upper buttock crease.
Flap Reconstruction
The skin is repositioned and the depth of the crease is reduced—lowering the risk of future infections.
Aesthetic & Functional Improvement
The area heals with less discomfort and improved appearance, helping you get back to your life with confidence.
What to Expect
Quick Outpatient Procedure
Surgery takes about 90 minutes, performed under general anesthesia.
Modern Healing Techniques
Multiple layers of absorbable sutures and a small drain to promote healing.
Easy Aftercare
Rest at home for 48 hours; drain removed in about a week, often at home or during a follow-up.
Full Recovery
Most patients resume normal activities in as little as three weeks, with complete healing in six.
