What is a Lower Body Lift?

A lower body lift, also known as a belt lipectomy, is a transformative surgical procedure designed to enhance the appearance and contour of the lower body. The procedure is popular among individuals who have undergone significant weight loss, leading to loose, sagging skin, and those looking to rejuvenate their lower body appearance. It involves removing excess skin and fat, tightening underlying tissues, and repositioning the remaining skin to create a more toned and smoother lower body profile.
