A Lower Body Lift is a sophisticated '360-degree' dermolipectomy. Unlike a standard tummy tuck, which only addresses the front, a belt lipectomy removes a continuous circular band of skin and fat from the entire midsection. The procedure at our Yorkshire hospital is typically performed in two integrated stages.

First, while the patient is prone (face down), the surgeon removes excess tissue from the lower back and hips, physically lifting the buttocks and outer thighs. The patient is then turned to the supine position (face up) for a full abdominoplasty. This includes the surgical repair of the 'six-pack' muscles (rectus plication) and the removal of the abdominal apron. By connecting these two areas around the flanks, the surgeon achieves a dramatic 'corset' effect that tightens the entire lower torso.

Due to the complexity and duration of this surgery, it is performed under general anaesthesia and requires a multi-day stay in our specialist private ward for expert post-operative monitoring.

The benefits of this procedure include:

• Removes a 360-degree 'belt' of excess skin, providing total mid-body rejuvenation.
• Lifts and reshapes the buttocks and outer thighs for a more athletic lower body profile.
• Permanently flattens the abdomen and repairs separated core muscles (diastasis recti).
• Eliminates skin-on-skin friction, reducing rashes and improving daily hygiene.
• Achieves the most dramatic 'before and after' transformation possible in body contouring.
