Lower 360 Body Lift

A lower 360 body lift (also called a circumferential body lift or belt lipectomy) is a transformative procedure that removes excess skin and fat around the abdomen, hips, outer thighs, and buttocks. This surgery is especially popular for patients who have lost a significant amount of weight and are left with sagging skin that diet and exercise cannot address. The result is a tighter, smoother contour around the entire midsection.

How is an Lower 360 Body Lift performed?

During a lower 360 body lift, the surgeon makes a belt-like incision around the lower torso, usually positioned so that it can be hidden by underwear or swimwear. Through this incision, excess skin and fat are removed from the abdomen, hips, lower back, and buttocks. The underlying tissues are tightened and lifted to improve body contour, flatten the stomach, and elevate the buttocks and outer thighs. Once the skin is redraped smoothly over the new shape, the incision is closed in layers to support healing and minimize scarring.

Post Lower 360 Body lift Care

Most patients resume normal daily activities within 2–3 weeks, with full results visible in several months.

Compression Garment Use – Wear a compression garment at all times (except when bathing) to control swelling and support the new contours.

Movement & Restrictions – Light walking is encouraged to promote circulation, but avoid bending, heavy lifting, or strenuous activity for at least 6 weeks.

Incision & Drain Care – Keep incisions clean and follow your surgeon’s instructions for drain care until they are removed.
