Belt Lipectomy, or a lower body lift, is a surgery that helps shape your lower body by removing extra skin and fat. It's perfect for people who've lost a lot of weight and want to tighten up loose skin to make their lower body look smoother and more toned.
It all starts with a meeting where your surgeon will check your body, talk about what you want, and explain what to expect.
You might need a few tests to make sure you're ready for surgery. Your doctor will also tell you how to get ready.
The surgeon will cut around your lower body, remove the extra skin and fat, and then tighten up what's left to shape your waist and lower body.
You'll have a couple of check-ups right after the surgery and maybe a week later. These are important to make sure you're healing well.
Most people are really happy with their new look after a Belt Lipectomy. Many find the results make a big difference, helping them feel more confident. The changes are meant to last, especially if you keep a stable weight.

If you’ve lost a lot of weight and have loose skin, this could be for you. You should also be healthy, have kept your weight stable, and have realistic goals about what surgery can achieve.

Often, yes. It’s common to combine it with other shaping procedures like liposuction or a breast lift. Your surgeon will tell you what’s safe.
