What is lifting of the lower part of the body?

To fit the middle parts of the body, in some cases, removing lipids is not enough, because the skin might not be flexible enough, and if the surgeon removes lipids excessively, the abdomen’s skin will be dangling. In these cases, lifting is the best option to fit the body’s middle parts. The lower body lift (Belt Lipectomy) is an excellent treatment to form loose and dangling skin, and remove lipids. This surgery is suitable for cases such as removing additional skin and creating and tightening the abdomen and lower parts of the Waist, sides, thighs, and buttocks. With this surgery treats the damages to the middle limbs of the body due to age increase, sunlight, pregnancy, weight changes, and genetic causes.

The Process of Lower Body Lift

The surgeon marks the desired area with lines and then the patient is generally anesthetized. The pattern of cut is in direction of the waist’s lower part and under the abdomen. The surgeon also removes some parts of extra lipid. In this surgery, muscles with empty spaces between will be tightened in their own positions. Then the skin covers the abdomen’s area and additional skin will be cut. With moving up the skin and stitching it, the thighs and butt move up too. The position of the belly button will be changed and replaced. Finally, the surgeon makes a new position for the belly button.

In belt lifting, some parts of the lipid are removed, but liposuction is a suitable surgery to remove all of the lipids. For patients who have too much lipid in the belly area, the surgeon operates both liposuction and full body lifting.

Comparison Between Extended Abdominoplasty and Belt Lipectomy

Extended Abdominoplasty is suitable when the skin is loose and dangling in the abdomen and flanks. Unlike belt Lipectomy, in this surgery, the surgeon does not lift the waist and butt. Lifting of the lower body is the supplementary version of Extended Abdominoplasty.

In this method, the surgeon creates a cut under the bikini line and continues it to the flanks. If there are empty spaces between the muscles of the abdominal and sides, the empty space will be removed and the muscles will be tightened and get close together. To give a better form to the middle parts of the body, some additional lipids in the flanks and butt will also be removed by using this method. Then, the skin covers the surgery area, and additional skin and belly buttons are removed. Eventually, you have a new belly button with the same position as the old one. Another way is to relocate the natural belly button to a new location. In this surgery, since the surgery area is smaller than the surgery area in the lifting of the lower body, the recovery duration is shorter. Depending on the heaviness of surgery and simultaneity with liposuction, this surgery will be over within three to four hours.
