How are the results after butt lift surgery?

The procedure is relatively new and outcomes do vary. While some people have had good results, there are plenty who have had abysmal results.

More often than not, you will be disappointed with surgery.

Is the incision visible after butt lift surgery?

Yes, this is the one complain by people who have undergone the procedure. There is no good anatomical place to hide the incision.
