A body lift (also referred to as a 'belt lipectomy' or a 'circumferential body lift') includes all the benefits of an abdominoplasty or
tummy tuck. In addition, a lower body lift will lift and tighten the lateral thighs and buttocks. This is most often indicated in patients following weight loss with excessive skin laxity that extends around to the back and would not be corrected with an abdominoplasty alone.
