Belt Lipectomy / Body Lift

For Patients in Orlando and Winter Park, Florida

Belt Lipectomy and Body Lift procedures performed by board certified plastic surgeon Scott Greenberg. The recent enthusiasm for surgical and non-surgical weight loss has increased patients' desires to improve their appearance afterwards. Many lose a lot of weight but still feel and look fat because of excess skin as well as back rolls and a loose, saggy abdomen. The gain and loss of weight is circumferential and a surgical procedure designed for correction of this problem needs to be circumferential.

Belt Lipectomy / Body Lift Consultation
At the initial consultation for a belt lipectomy / body lift, your goals and expectations about the surgery will be discussed in detail. An individual decision as to the most appropriate technique(s) to be used will be made and the advantages of each technique will be discussed. Informational material and discussion will allow you to have a clear understanding of the belt lipectomy and body lift procedure.

Belt Lipectomy/Body Lift Procedure
We refer to this procedure which involves a circumferential incision around the waist and back as a belt lipectomy or if performed with an abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) a lower body lift. The procedure is performed in the hospital with a planned 2 night stay.

After Your Belt Lipectomy/Body Lift Surgery
Specific wound care instructions will be given including the use of ice for 24-48 hours to control swelling. Swelling and minor bruising are expected and begin to subside about 48 hours after the belt lipectomy / body lift procedure.
