Our Location

Circumferential abdominoplasty; 360° tummy tuck; belt lipectomy, body lift-all are term used to describe removal of excess skin and fat that goes completely around the lower abdomen. A body lift can also incorporate treatment of the lateral thighs and even inner thighs can be included although that is not a standard part of a full body lift. Circumferential surgery is necessary to achieve aesthetic goals when excess loose skin extends into the back and upper buttock and also to treat large fat deposits in this location where liposuction alone is inadequate. There is usually an element of improvement of lateral thigh and saddlebags as well as lifting the buttock. In many cases pure lifting from behind flattens the buttock and additional procedures may be necessary to improve buttock shape such as fat transfer or auto augmentation techniques. This 44-year-old woman had a duodenal switch performed about 7 years ago. She only lost about 60 pounds and was trying to keep weight off with semaglutides. Many patients with disappointing results after bariatric surgery will take medications like Ozempic and Wegovy to help further their weight loss. When she originally saw Dr. Lyle, her BMI was still almost 35 but she continued to lose weight and get down to an acceptable range. She underwent a body lift with some liposuction and fat transfer to the buttock as well as a brachioplasty. Specimen weight was 13 lbs. She has done very well with no postoperative problems.
