Discover How to Get Rid of Excess Fat and Sagging Skin for a New, Beautiful You
Have you successfully lost weight? Maybe you’re left with hanging skin and stubborn fat on your body. This can lead to physical discomfort, poor body image, and just not looking the way you want. At VIDA Wellness and Beauty, we want to help you love and embrace your new body image with a 360 Body Lift.
A 360 Body Lift provides you with natural-looking body contours to achieve the silhouette you deserve. Here is everything you need to know about this body and life-changing procedure.
What is a Body Lift?
The 360 Body Lift is a procedure to remove extra skin and fat on the abdomen and back. It’s common for people who have undergone recent massive weight loss to pursue this procedure. When someone loses a lot of weight, the leftover skin is stretched and often sags and collects around the midsection. This can be uncomfortable and unappealing for your figure, which is why VIDA Wellness and Beauty can help.
A Body Lift can use a combination of liposuction, tummy tuck and other body sculpting techniques to help create a fresh, new you that reflects the real results of your hard work at weight loss.
If you’re looking for…
- A flatter stomach

- Getting rid of your ‘love handles’
…then a 360 Body Lift can help.
This surgery can transform your appearance, reduce your waistline even more, and help create a leaner figure that complements your true shape.
Preparing For Surgery
A 360 Body Lift, also known as a belt lipectomy, is a procedure to remove excess skin and fat from the midsection. The first step to prepare for this type of surgery is to schedule a meeting with our team of board certified surgeons to consult on what you need done.
It’s important to remember that while a 360 Body Lift can transform your body, you need to have realistic expectations about the surgery. Our team of professionals will fill you in on the details of the procedure, including any medications you need to take and the recovery period before you can start really enjoying the new you.
The Procedure Process
The surgery is a lengthy procedure that requires at least an overnight stay. The surgery is conducted under general anesthesia and takes about 6-8 hours to complete. A 360 Body Lift usually involves an incision along the part of the abdomen where the belt is worn, hence the name ‘belt lipectomy’. The surgeon will then remove loose skin and tighten the abdominal muscles before securing the area with sutures.
The majority of patients will need to stay several nights for monitored recovery before continuing the recovery process at home. You will be provided with instructions for medications and what to do at home to ensure proper recovery.
The Recovery Process
As you recover at home, you will likely experience some swelling and bruising. We will instruct you to wear a compression garment to minimize these effects. After a few weeks of rest you can start doing some light activities at home, like walking unassisted. The recovery time frame is different for each person so it’s important to be patient and not strain yourself too early. Full recovery of movement can take as long as six months. Be sure to keep this in mind when planning your recovery process and enlist the help of others to make it more manageable.
360 Body Lift Results
It’s important to know that some scarring is normal with a 360 Body Lift. A 360 degree scar encircling the waistline is necessary to remove saggy skin and fat deposits from the abdomen and hips. Incisions are planned to ensure these scars appear in natural creases in the body. Following recovery care instructions is important to minimize scarring from the surgery.
The results of a 360 Body Lift surgery are both transformational and long-lasting as long as patients continue to maintain a stable weight. Here are some photos illustrating the amazing transformation a 360 Body Lift can make for your silhouette, comfort, and self-image:
FAQs
What does a 360 body lift include?

How long does it take to recover?

You will be able to resume all normal activities within 6 months.
How much will it cost?
Cost depends on the type of procedure and how extensive the surgery needs to be. We will customize your procedure and cost quote based on your unique needs. Call our office today to discuss costs with one of our associates.
Will insurance cover a body lift?
This depends on your insurance. In most cases, a body lift is considered a cosmetic procedure and not covered by insurance. Sometimes, if an excess of droopy skin is considered hazardous to your health, a body lift may qualify for insurance coverage.
How do I qualify for surgery?
In order to qualify for this surgery, you need to have undergone massive weight loss that resulted in excess skin and stubborn fat deposits that you want to remove. Most importantly, you need to have lost weight and maintained that weight loss for at least a year before the procedure. In order to ensure best results from a 360 Body Lift, it’s important to maintain a consistent, healthy weight before and after the procedure.
