Lower Body Lift
A lower body lift, sometimes called a belt lipectomy, combines a tummy tuck, removal of excess back skin with a resultant thigh lift. People who have lost a lot of weight, often through bariatric surgery, sometimes need to undergo a lower body lift to remove excess sagging skin.
The plastic surgeon makes incisions from the back around to the front (circumferential) to allow excess skin and fat tissue to be removed. The remaining tissue is used to stretch and smooth the lower body.
