The difference between a full body lift and a lower body lift please

Lower Body Lift (Belt Lipectomy):

• Focus Areas: Hips, outer thighs, buttocks, lower abdomen (front and back).
• Purpose: Removes excess skin and fat typically after significant weight loss.
• Incision: Circumferential (around the waist), like a belt — hence “belt lipectomy.”
• Goals:
  • Lift and tighten sagging skin on the thighs and buttocks.
  • Flatten and contour the lower abdomen and waist.

Full Body Lift:

• Includes: A lower body lift plus additional procedures on the upper body.
• Upper Body Areas:
  • Upper abdomen
  • Back (upper and mid-back rolls)
  • Breasts or chest (may involve a breast lift or male chest contouring)
  • Arms (if combined with brachioplasty)
• Purpose: A more comprehensive body contouring surgery after major weight loss.
• Incisions: Multiple, depending on the areas treated — may include circumferential waist, breast, and back incisions.
• Goals:
  • Total body reshaping.
  • Removal of excess skin in both upper and lower torso.
