Body Lift Surgery, also called belt lipectomy, is a specialized plastic surgery procedure designed to eliminate loose, excess skin and restore your body’s natural contours. This treatment is especially beneficial for individuals who have undergone major weight loss, pregnancy, or natural aging, and are left with skin that doesn’t reflect their healthier, fitter selves.
Unlike basic fat reduction treatments, a body lift goes beyond surface aesthetics. It reconstructs the underlying tissues, lifts drooping skin, and restores elasticity in key areas such as the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, and sometimes the upper arms or chest
Do any of these apply to you?
- You’ve lost 35% or more of your body weight, but your skin hasn’t caught up.
- Your abdomen, thighs, or buttocks have folds of skin that make you feel uncomfortable or self-conscious.
- Despite consistent workouts, your body still appears saggy due to stretched skin.
1. Lower Body Lift (Circumferential Lift): Targets abdomen, buttocks, hips, and outer thighs. It removes skin in a 360-degree pattern.
2. Mid-Body Lift: Tightens the abdominal area and flanks.
3. Upper Body Lift: Focused on the upper arms, breasts, and back..

You may be a strong candidate if:
- You’ve maintained a stable weight for at least 6–12 months.
- You’re no longer planning significant weight changes.
- You’re free of major health issues and a non-smoker.
- You understand the recovery process and have realistic expectations.
Before moving forward, you’ll meet with a board-certified plastic surgeon who will review your history, assess the areas, and discuss goals and options.
- Medical clearance and lab tests may be needed.
- Stop smoking and avoid certain medications.
- Plan for transport and a caregiver post-op.
The procedure involves general anesthesia and 4–6 hours of surgery. The surgeon removes excess skin, possibly tightens muscles, and closes with sutures
Expect a short hospital stay. Recovery takes weeks, but light activity resumes within 10 days. Follow all post-op care guidelines for best results.
Noticeable results appear immediately but continue to improve over 6–12 months. Scars fade, and with healthy living, results are long-lasting
As with all surgery, risks include bleeding, infection, scarring, or anesthesia complications. An experienced surgeon greatly reduces these risks
Prices vary based on location, surgeon, and complexity. Typically, fees do not include anesthesia or follow-ups. Financing may be available.
