Absolutely: A lower body lift, also commonly referred to as a body lift or a belt lipectomy, is a plastic surgery procedure which, when broken into its components, includes a tummy tuck, a thigh lift, and a buttock lift. The incision is often placed around the entire lower body, in a circumferential fashion.

Yes. It is also called an extended or circumferential abdominoplasty, belt lipectomy, or torsoplasty. The procedure eliminates sagging skin and addresses loss of skin elasticity, which are the results of aging and weight problems. The lower body lift aims to tighten the skin and smoothen contour of the mid-body.
