Body Lift (Belt Lipectomy) in Dubai

A belt lipectomy and a lower body lift are the same procedure — the two terms are used interchangeably in plastic surgery to describe a single, continuous 360-degree contouring surgery. The procedure removes a belt-like strip of excess skin and fat from the entire waistline: the abdomen, hips, love handles, lower back, and buttocks. The incision wraps completely around the body, which is why it is also called a circumferential body lift or 360 body lift. The two names reflect different framings of the same surgery: "belt lipectomy" describes the technique — the surgical removal of a belt-shaped strip of excess tissue — while "lower body lift" describes the result — the lifting and reshaping of sagging skin across the buttocks, outer thighs, and stomach. A lower body lift (belt lipectomy) is distinct from a total body lift. A total body lift is a broader staged treatment plan that combines a lower body lift with upper body procedures — such as an arm lift (brachioplasty) or a breast lift — typically performed across multiple separate surgical sessions. Belt lipectomy is most commonly indicated following significant weight loss or bariatric surgery, when large volumes of excess skin cannot retract on their own. Recovery, technique, risks, and expected outcomes are discussed in full during the pre-operative consultation. Surgical procedures carry inherent risks. Results vary per individual. A consultation is required.
