Belt Lipectomy/Lower Body Lifts - The Park Clinic for Plastic Surgery

Our Cosmetic Coordinator, Darlene, sits down with Dr. Chris Park and discusses lower body lift procedures. A lower body lift is a surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin from the outer thighs and buttocks. It is a procedure that commonly is performed in patients who have lost a large amount of weight and have loose sagging skin. This procedure can dramatically tighten the loose skin on the outer thighs and buttocks. This procedure is also commonly called a "belt lipectomy".
What is a lipectomy? A lipectomy is a plastic surgery method that removes fat and skin. You can get a lipectomy nearly anywhere on your body, including common trouble spots like the back of your arms, inner thighs, hips, belly, and more. If you get a tummy tuck, that is technically a lipectomy of the tummy. A belt lipectomy is a removal of said tissue that resides around the belt line.
