A 360 body lift addresses excess skin on the lower extremities such as the buttocks, thighs, and abdomen. This might include wrinkled and folding skin around the thighs or sagging buttocks that distort the shape of the waist and lower abdomen.
A lower body lift is a surgical procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the lower body. The procedure is designed to address the abdomen and lower back, thighs and buttocks to restore contour, curves and skin tightness caused by significant weight loss, aging, or pregnancy. A lower body lift should be performed in conjunction with liposuction if the patient has excess fat as well as excess skin to maximize end results.
Circumferential body lift surgery
A lower body lift (or 360 body lift) is an extensive plastic surgery procedure using incisions that extend along a 360 degree circumference of the lower body, horizontally around the lower back and lower abdomen.
The procedure and incision placement are personalized to each patient to ensure the best scar placement that can be hidden as easily as possible.
A lower body lift is typically a combination of an extended tummy tuck, outer thigh lift, and liposuction to sculpt the body and enhance the silhouette.
