What Is a 360 Body Lift?
A 360 Body Lift, also known as belt lipectomy, is a comprehensive cosmetic procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat around the midsection. It’s especially beneficial for individuals who have lost a significant amount of weight—whether through bariatric surgery or lifestyle changes—and are left with sagging skin around the abdomen, waist, back, and buttocks.
What Is Body Lift Surgery?
Body Lift Surgery is a term used to describe multiple body contouring procedures performed together. It targets various areas such as the abdomen, flanks, hips, thighs, arms, and lower back. The goal is to reshape and tighten the body for a slimmer, more defined silhouette. In many cases, liposuction is combined with skin tightening techniques for optimal results.
Patients can achieve a full transformation with just one surgery and one recovery period—making 360 Body Lift Surgery a preferred option for comprehensive results.
Who Is a Good Candidate for 360 Body Lift Surgery?
You may be a good candidate for this procedure if:
- Your BMI is 30 or lower
- You have loose or sagging skin after weight loss
- You struggle with cellulite or stretch marks
- You’ve undergone liposuction but need additional tightening
- You’re looking to improve your overall body contour
- You want to address sagging skin after pregnancy
How Is 360 Body Lift Surgery Performed?
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and usually takes 5 to 7 hours. A horizontal incision is made around the entire lower torso, approximately 8–10 cm below the belly button—strategically placed within the underwear line for minimal visibility.
Surgeons remove excess fat from the abdomen, back, and outer thighs using liposuction. Then, the sagging skin is pulled tight, trimmed, and sutured with aesthetic stitches. A new belly button position may be created for optimal appearance. Surgical drains are inserted to prevent fluid buildup, and a compression garment is worn post-surgery.
Recovery After Body Lift Surgery
- Hospital stay: 1–2 nights
- Drain removal: Usually on day 2
- Return to daily activities: After 2 weeks
- Return to work: After 4 weeks
- Compression garment: Worn for 4–6 weeks
- Light exercise: After 6–8 weeks
Initial discomfort is manageable with pain medications. Scars will appear red initially but fade to white over time and are usually hidden within undergarment lines. If needed, laser scar revision can improve the final appearance.
