Also known as a body lift or circumferential abdominoplasty is a procedure that removes loose/excess skin, fat, and tissue from the waistline or belt line. Depending on the amount of extra skin the patient wants taken off will determine the width of the belt that is removed. Not to be confused with a tummy tuck, a belt lipectomy is more extensive than a tummy tuck.
At Mosharrafa Plastic Surgery, we use the most innovative a safest tools in every plastic surgery. Dr. Ali Mosharrafa and Dr. Tamir Mosharrafa believe that with integrity, honesty, and results, patients will look no further than Mosharrafa Plastic Surgery for any of their surgical or aesthetic needs.
Unlike a tummy tuck where an incision is made just below the abdomen, a belt lipectomy involves an incision that circles around the entire circumference of the patient’s torso. A belt lipectomy is usually performed on people who have just lost a dramatic amount of weight. When diet an exercise fail to provide patients with the results they desire, a belt lipectomy may be the best alternative. Liposuction is a viable solution for people who have localized fat deposits. However, people with stretch marks, loose skin, flabby muscles, and cellulite will have better results with a circumferential abdominoplasty.
A belt lipectomy takes care of the excess skin around the buttocks, thighs, belly, love handles, and back side, which gives it’s alternate name, “body lift”. The surgery provides patients with a dramatic body reshape, tightening the fascia and abdominal muscles for an appealing, sculpted look. Some patients opt to have a belt lipectomy along with an arm lift surgery, giving their body a more proportionate look.

A breast cancer diagnosis is overwhelming in so many ways. There are a lot of emotions. Dr. Ali Mosharrafa and his entire staff put me at ease at every step. After surgery, I was very self conscious, and the way I was treated with each visit helped me as much as the excellent medical care. Whether it is for an elective procedure or a surgery due to illness, I cannot endorse Dr. Ali more as a physician and human.
