Belt Lipectomy:
A belt lipectomy, also known as a lower body lift, is a transformative surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat around the abdomen, lower back, hips, and buttocks. This comprehensive contouring surgery is ideal for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss or want to address sagging skin and improve their body shape. At North Florida Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Center, we combine advanced surgical techniques with personalized care to help patients achieve natural, long-lasting results.
What is a Belt Lipectomy?
A belt lipectomy is a circumferential procedure that targets the midsection and lower body. The name “belt” reflects the continuous incision made around the waist, allowing for the removal of loose, hanging skin and underlying fat. This procedure:
- Tightens and tones the abdominal area
- Lifts and reshapes the buttocks and hips
- Improves the appearance of the lower back
Who is a Candidate for a Belt Lipectomy?
This surgery is ideal for patients who:
- Have excess skin and fat after significant weight loss, such as from bariatric surgery or lifestyle changes
- Struggle with loose skin and lack of definition in the midsection and lower body due to aging or genetics
- Are in good overall health and maintain a stable weight
Dr. David Mateo de Acosta will perform a thorough consultation to ensure that a belt lipectomy aligns with your aesthetic goals and physical needs.
The Belt Lipectomy Procedure
During the procedure, Dr. David Mateo de Acosta will make a circumferential incision around the waistline. Excess skin and fat are carefully removed, and the remaining skin is tightened to create a smoother, more defined appearance. The procedure may also include liposuction to further contour the body and achieve optimal results.
Key benefits of a belt lipectomy include:
- Enhanced body proportions and improved symmetry
- A more sculpted, toned waistline and lower body
- Increased comfort and mobility by removing heavy, sagging skin
Recovery and Results
After surgery, most patients can expect:
- Some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the treated areas during the initial weeks of recovery
- A gradual return to normal activities within 2–4 weeks
- Final results become visible as the swelling subsides, typically within 3–6 months
We provide comprehensive post-operative care, including follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress and ensure optimal outcomes.
