What is lower body lift (belt Lipectomy)?
A lower body lift is commonly referred to as “360 belt Lipectomy” or “circumferential abdominoplasty”. It is a plastic surgical procedure that can completely change the appearance of your lower body torso.
It is a combination of a tummy tuck, outer thigh lift, and buttocks lift with skin tightening and excess fat sculpturing, and if desired reshaping and augmenting the buttocks. This procedure is a customized one to create the desired lower body appearance with a combination of techniques.
Lower body lift is commonly performed to those who have lost substantial weight and wish to tighten loose skin on their abdomen, carve the waist, and uplift the buttocks and hips.
The buttocks lift could be combined with a buttocks gluteal fat lift to augment the upper part of the buttocks, Brazilian buttocks augmentation (BBL), or a silicone implant.
Back lift is another available option for those who have lower back skin sagging.
Who is a candidate for lower body lift?
Men and women who have excess skin hanging from their abdomen, waist, and outer thighs in addition to either saggy buttocks, or a saggy lower back make potential candidates to this procedure.
Candidates usually have had a substantial weight loss, or previous pregnancies that resulted in excess skin sagging. However not all the candidates are of this category, some other candidates are having hanging out fat as a result of some weight gain, while some others are just simply fighting the signs of aging.
What areas of the body can be treated with lower body lift?
Lower body lift procedure is concerned with lifting all the lower body skin sagging that affects the following areas:
- Abdomen
- Waist
- Outer thighs
- buttocks
- Bac
All these areas are managed in a single procedure leading to a comprehensive reshaping of the body contour.
The abdomen is managed in the same way an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) would normally be performed including abdominal wall muscles tightening, Naval repositioning, and excess redundant skin removal.
The waist and the flanks (love handles) are all liposuctioned and carved up with removal of any excess skin.
The buttocks and outer hips are all lifted up to reshape your body curves.
Buttocks augmentation is another valuable tool to reshape your body with many options available including:
- Gluteal fat repositioning to augment the upper buttocks.
- Brazilian buttocks augmentation (BBL)
- Silicone buttocks implants.
The back is lifted up in cases of lower back skin excess and back skin sagging

What is the shape of the scar expected from this procedure:
Lower body lift results in a scar that encircles your body 360 degrees at the level of lower abdomen above the pubic hair then up to the lower waist and then just above the buttocks.
The scar is designed to be concealed by your clothes and swimwear and is sutured meticulously in order to make it as inconspicuous as possible.
Recovery from lower body lift surgery:
It is not a highly painful procedure, pain killers in the form of patches, pills, and some times intramuscular injections totally alleviate pain.
Body swelling (edema) should be expected in all cases and highly varies according to some different factors:
- Absence or the presence of liposuction (e.g. lipo-abdominoplasty).
- Absence or presence of drains.
- Commitment to the use of oral medications.
- Commitment to the use of compression garment.
- The extent of the procedure.
- Early movement.
Drains (small plastic tubes) are usually required in lower body lift to drain any remaining fluids after the procedure and are usually removed by the 7th – 10th day.
The sutures are usually self dissolvable that needn’t be removed any time later, however if the non dissolvable sutures are used they are removed by the 10th – 14th day after surgery.
Compression garment is required for 30 days after the procedure.
Early walking after the procedure is highly encouraged.
Most patients need about 2 weeks off work, 4 weeks before going to the Gym., and 6 weeks for full recovery.
End results are expected after at least 4 months but however you can see much of your new shape as soon as the swelling starts to disappear about 2 weeks after the procedure.
