Belt Lipectomy at Light Plastic Surgery Clinic
Significant weight loss, whether through bariatric surgery or lifestyle changes, can often leave behind loose, sagging skin around the midsection. A belt lipectomy, also known as a lower body lift, is a comprehensive body contouring procedure that removes excess skin and fat from the abdomen, flanks, lower back, and buttocks to create a smoother, firmer, and more contoured silhouette.
At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, our experienced surgeons are highly trained in post-weight loss body contouring. We are dedicated to delivering dramatic, yet natural-looking results with a focus on patient safety, comfort, and satisfaction.
Why Choose Belt Lipectomy Surgery?
Patients consider belt lipectomy surgery for a variety of reasons, including:
- Removing excess, sagging skin after massive weight loss
- Improving the shape and contour of the waist, hips, lower back, and buttocks
- Reducing skin irritation and hygiene issues caused by loose skin
- Restoring body confidence and comfort in clothing
- Achieving a more proportionate and youthful body contour
We are committed to helping you complete your weight loss journey with surgical results that reflect the effort and dedication you’ve invested in your health.
Customized Approach to Your Belt Lipectomy Surgery
At Light Plastic Surgery Clinic, every belt lipectomy is customized to match the patient’s body type, amount of excess skin, and aesthetic goals.
Key Features of the Procedure:
- 360-Degree Skin and Fat Removal: Excess tissue is removed from the abdomen, flanks, lower back, and buttocks in a single procedure.
- Muscle Repair (if needed): In some cases, the abdominal muscles are tightened to restore core strength and flatten the stomach.
- Combination with Liposuction: Liposuction may be used to further sculpt the waist and hip areas for an optimal result.
Your surgical plan will be designed after a thorough consultation to achieve the most natural and flattering outcome.

The Procedure: What to Expect
Belt lipectomy surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 4 to 6 hours, depending on the extent of the procedure.
Surgical Steps:
- Incision Placement: A circumferential incision is made around the lower torso, carefully positioned to be hidden beneath undergarments or swimwear.
- Skin and Fat Removal: Excess skin and fat are excised, and the remaining skin is tightened for a smoother contour.
- Muscle Tightening: If necessary, the abdominal muscles are repaired and tightened to enhance the abdominal profile.
- Closure and Dressing: Incisions are closed with fine sutures, and compression garments are applied to reduce swelling and support healing.
Most patients remain in the hospital or clinic for a short stay before returning home under post-operative care instructions.
Recovery and Aftercare
Belt lipectomy is an extensive procedure, and a dedicated recovery period is essential for optimal results.
You will be advised to:
- Wear compression garments continuously as instructed
- Avoid strenuous activity and heavy lifting for at least 4 to 6 weeks
- Walk gently and frequently to promote circulation
- Keep incisions clean and dry, following all aftercare instructions
- Attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor healing and progress
Swelling and bruising are normal and will gradually subside over several weeks to months.
