A 360-degree body lift encompasses procedures to remove excess skin and tighten underlying tissues around the entire torso, including the abdomen, back, flanks, and buttocks. This comprehensive approach addresses circumferential laxity, often resulting from significant weight loss or the natural aging process. For example, it combines procedures like a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), a lower back lift, and sometimes a buttock lift or thigh lift to achieve a harmonious, rejuvenated body contour.
Reshaping the body through this type of surgery can profoundly impact a patient’s self-esteem and quality of life. Addressing excess skin not only improves aesthetic appearance but can also alleviate physical discomfort, such as chafing or difficulty with clothing. While body contouring procedures have evolved significantly over time, the core principle of restoring a more youthful and balanced physique remains consistent. The development of advanced surgical techniques and technologies allows for more precise and predictable outcomes than ever before.
