What is a lower body lift?
Lower body lift surgery, also known as a belt lipectomy, is a surgical method to shape your waist by removing extra fat and skin while tightening muscles. It firms saggy skin in the lower abdomen and buttocks, giving you a slimmer waist. You can consider lower body lift if you've lost a significant amount of weight and need a final touch-up. In that case belt lipectomy is a great solution as it removes excess skin and repositions tissues to create a tighter look.
What are the benefits of lower body lift surgery?
Lower body lift surgery goes beyond appearance and includes the following psychological and medical benefits.
- Complements the results of weight loss: If you've had a significant weight loss, lower body lift can further refine your figure by removing stubborn fat, excess skin, and firming up your tummy.
- Sets you free: You can enjoy the freedom of choosing outfits that showcase your elegance with a flat abdomen and curvy waist.
- Makes you feel comfortable: No more chafing or rashes caused by excess skin and folds. Lower body lift surgery puts those troubles in the past.
- Enhances confidence: You no longer have to feel embarrassed about your shape.
How do you know if you need a lower body lift?
You need a lower body lift when you have already lost a significant amount of weight and are ready to stop having babies. This procedure is the final touch in removing the traces of weight loss – cutting excess skin, tightening muscles, and firming the abdomen. Just keep in mind that this works if you do not get pregnant again and you are done with losing a lot of weight, and you are ready to maintain your new shape.

FAQ
Is lower body lift surgery painful?
Thanks to general anesthesia, you won't feel any pain during the surgery. However, you may feel mild pain and discomfort in your thighs and buttocks for about 3 days after the procedure. Pain-killing medication will help manage pain during that period.
How long is the recovery time for belt lipectomy?
Belt lipectomy recovery time varies depending on individual factors. Typically, patients take 2-4 weeks off work. But you should avoid strenuous exercises and specific movements for 4-6 weeks after the surgery.
What is the difference between a tummy tuck and a belt lipectomy?
While both tummy tuck and belt lipectomy address excess fat and skin in the abdomen, there are subtle differences. Tummy tuck can target the entire abdomen, whereas belt lipectomy focuses on the lower abdomen, thighs, and buttocks. Unlike tummy tuck, belt lipectomy involves 360-degree incisions around the waist. So, it tightens the skin both in the front and back.
