A 360 body lift, or lower body lift, removes loose skin around the abdomen, hips, buttocks, and outer thighs after major weight loss.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nWhat Is a 360 Body Lift (Lower Body Lift)?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A 360 body lift, also called a lower body lift or circumferential body lift, removes loose skin around the abdomen, hips, buttocks, and outer thighs after major weight loss. It is one of the most comprehensive body-contouring surgeries and often requires staged planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unlike a tummy tuck, which focuses mainly on the front of the abdomen, a 360 body lift treats the lower torso in a full circle. The incision usually follows a belt-line pattern around the waist, allowing our European Board-Certified Surgeons to lift and tighten tissue across multiple zones in one operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons describes body contouring after major weight loss as surgery that removes excess sagging skin and fat while improving the shape of the underlying support tissue. That definition is useful for Canadian patients comparing a 360 body lift with smaller options such as tummy tuck, thigh lift, or liposuction.

A 360 body lift removes excess skin and underlying fat from the lower trunk. The remaining tissue is then repositioned and closed under controlled tension. This creates a smoother abdomen, improved waistline, lifted buttock contour, and better transition into the outer thighs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The procedure is especially useful when weight loss has left skin laxity in several connected areas. If only the abdomen is treated, the hips, lower back, or buttocks may still look loose. A 360 body lift is designed to avoid that incomplete result.<\/p>\n\n\n
