Exercise cannot always achieve desired results for people who have loose, sagging skin and uneven contours.  Aging, sun damage, pregnancy and significant fluctuations in weight as well as genetic factors may contribute to poor tissue elasticity and can result in sagging of the abdomen, buttocks, thighs and upper arms.

A Belt Lipectomy, also known as the lower body lift, offers the most dramatic transformation of the mid and lower body.  It is truly a resculpting of the abdomen, hips, thighs, and buttocks. Broken into its components, the lower body lift includes a tummy tuck ( abdominoplasty) a Thigh lift and a buttock lift.   The body lift procedure is performed on post bariatric patients as well as patients who have not had weight loss.

The body lift transforms patients that have experienced massive weight loss and have excess skin. However, results are just as dramatic in patients who in addition to a tummy tuck want a tightening of the skin in their thighs and buttocks. The body lift (belt lipectomy) has the
advantage that it can be done in one surgical session, or in stages, depending on the patients needs.
