Circumferential abdominoplasty

A belt lipectomy targets skin laxity and excess fat around the entire lower torso. This procedure can reshape and lift the following areas:

• Abdomen
• Waist
• Lower back
• Buttocks

By treating all these regions in a single surgery, belt lipectomy provides a comprehensive improvement in body contour and silhouette.

A lower body lift is designed to lift and tighten sagging skin and tissue across the lower half of the body, specifically focusing on:

• Abdomen
• Hips
• Buttocks
• Outer thighs

This technique addresses multiple problem areas simultaneously, enhancing both shape and firmness throughout the midsection and lower body.

During a belt lipectomy, multiple body areas are addressed in one procedure:

• The abdomen is treated with a full tummy tuck, including:
  • Tightening of the abdominal muscles
  • Repositioning of the belly button (navel)
  • Removal of excess, sagging skin
• The waist and flanks are sculpted with liposuction and skin excision to create a narrower, more defined waistline.
• The buttocks are lifted to restore a firmer, more youthful shape.
• A lower back lift is performed to eliminate fat rolls and excess skin in the lower back region.
• Optional buttock augmentation can be added using:
  • Natural fat transfer (Brazilian Butt Lift - BBL)
  • Silicone buttock implants

A lower body lift offers full lower torso rejuvenation through several targeted steps:

• The abdomen undergoes a standard tummy tuck, involving:
  • Abdominal muscle repair
  • Repositioning of the belly button
  • Removal of redundant skin
• The waist and flanks are contoured using liposuction.
• The buttocks, hips, and outer thighs are lifted and reshaped to improve body curves and proportions.
• Optional buttock augmentation is available through:
  • Gluteal fat repositioning flaps (using your own tissue for natural volume)
  • Silicone buttock implants

Yes. Many patients choose to combine their 360° tummy tuck with additional procedures for more comprehensive results. Common combinations include:

• Arm lift (brachioplasty)
• Inner thigh lift
• Breast lift or augmentation
• Liposuction in additional areas (e.g., neck, arms, thighs)

Your surgeon will help you determine a safe and effective surgical plan based on your goals and health status.

Circumferential abdominoplasty is a body contouring procedure, not a weight loss surgery. While some weight is lost due to removal of excess skin and fat, the goal is to improve shape and tone, not reduce weight significantly. It's best suited for individuals who have already achieved weight stability.

As with any major surgery, there are potential risks. These include:

• Bleeding or hematoma
• Infection
• Poor wound healing or scarring
• Seroma (fluid accumulation)
• Changes in skin sensation
• Asymmetry
• Deep vein thrombosis (rare)

The rate of complications is very rare at our Davinci clinic practice. Choosing a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon greatly reduces the risk of complications.

Results from a circumferential abdominoplasty are generally long-lasting, especially when paired with a healthy lifestyle. However, significant weight fluctuations, future pregnancies, or natural aging can impact the longevity of your results.

• Desk work: Typically within 2–3 weeks
• Light exercise: Around 4 weeks post-op
• Full activity and heavy lifting: After 6 weeks
• Final results: Visible after swelling subsides—usually by 4 months

Recovery timelines may vary depending on the extent of surgery and individual healing.
