Belt Lipectomy more commonly known as a “Body Lift” is a major surgical procedure to remove excess body skin and fatty tissue. In the area of the back and belly (the trunk), cases of mild excess maybe treated appropriately by procedures such as a tummy tuck or liposuction.

However, in more significant excess situations, especially where the excess is circumferential (circular) in nature involving the belly, hips, back, buttocks, and outer thighs, a more extensive procedure is required. This procedure is called “Belt Lipectomy”, and is like a face-lift for the trunk.
