A belt lipectomy, also known as a circumferential body lift or lower body lift, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the midsection, encompassing the abdomen, hips, and lower back. This surgery is often sought by individuals who have undergone significant weight loss, either through bariatric surgery or natural means, and are left with loose, sagging skin that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise.
The belt lipectomy procedure involves making an incision that extends around the body, similar to the placement of a belt, hence the name. Through this incision, excess fat is removed, and the skin is tightened. This results in a smoother, more toned appearance, and can significantly improve a patient’s body image and comfort. Often, this surgery can also include muscle tightening, especially in the abdominal region, if required.
Ideal candidates for a belt lipectomy are individuals who are in good overall health, maintain a stable weight, and have realistic expectations of the results. The procedure is especially beneficial for people who have lost a significant amount of weight but are left with sagging skin and tissue around their abdomen, hips, and lower back. It is also important that the candidate does not smoke, as smoking can impede the healing process and increase the risk of complications.
Post-surgery, recovery from a belt lipectomy typically takes several weeks. Patients are advised to rest and limit physical activity, especially in the initial stages. They will likely need to wear a compression garment to help minimize swelling and support the healing tissues. Full recovery can take up to six months, during which time the final results will become more apparent.
While the recovery process may seem lengthy, the benefits of a belt lipectomy can be life-changing. Patients not only experience a more defined and contoured body shape but also often report an improvement in their overall quality of life, as mobility and comfort in daily activities are greatly enhanced.
As with any major surgery, belt lipectomy carries certain risks, including infection, scarring, and potential complications related to anesthesia. It is important to have a detailed consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to understand these risks and to ensure the procedure is performed safely.

I have known Dr Praveen for the past 3 yrs and I must say that he is a gem of a human being and a doctor.

I must admit that I was apprehensive to visit a plastic surgery. He informed me of my problem and promised to find a solution.
Really Exellent Doctor.
Nice Service and Staffs.
His warm bedside manner and empathetic nature are an added bonus. He is very clear about your treatment options and the best solution for your problem. His advice is always focused on what is best for his patient, which I truly appreciate. I have been visiting him since May 2022 and I am amazed at the difference in my facial features and how beautifully he has treated my condition. He is also very gentle and careful when administering any treatment which, for a nervous patient like me, is so needed.
The appointment service was straightforward to use and well-managed, and I had no issues.

From entering his office and working with his kind assistant, to the cleanliness and order of his treatment room, all the way to the check out process – his office and professionalism is second to none. As for the care he provides I truly appreciated his approach of treating me as a whole, not a collection of potential disparate problems.

I was very pleased with my experience at his place. I really appreciate the way he make patients comfortable.
Dr explained in detail everything and also suggested options. He didn’t push for any major treatment which generally otherwise I have seen people doing. He explained what result to be expected of each of the three treatment styles and how much time it will take. I have started my treatment and I will recommend him over many others.
As a first-timer going for a liposuction surgery, I was very nervous making the decision. But Dr. Praveen helped me calm my nerves and even made me comfortable and looking forward to the procedure.
