A body lift, also known as a 360 body lift, belt lipectomy or circumferential body lift is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat and skin from the abdominal area to create a more contoured appearance.
A 360 body could be considered an extensive tummy tuck or 360 tummy tuck that continues around the sides to remove the loose "love handle" skin that continues onto the lower back.

Many factors will be taken into account when deciding whether a patient is suitable for abdominoplasty. Below are some ideal candidates for a tummy tuck.
The lock and glue tummy tuck or lipoabdominoplasty is an innovative approach combining internal locking stitches, tissue glue and local anaesthetic infusion pumps without the use of drains ( tubes left within the abdominal wound to drain excess blood and body fluids) which we use for all our tummy tuck patients.
The result is greater comfort for the patients, earlier mobilisation, earlier discharge and less risk of complications. The quilting and liposuction is effective in creating a more athletic looking abdomen with greater definitions.
The 360 body lift is normally performed as two seperate procedures, resulting in a lower overall recovery time with reduced pain and associated risks from long, complex procedures.
