What is Circumferential Abdominoplasty?
Circumferential abdominoplasty, also known as a body lift or 360-degree tummy tuck, is an advanced surgical procedure designed to address excess skin and fat around the entire torso. Unlike traditional abdominoplasty which focuses primarily on the front of the abdomen, this technique extends around the entire waistline, including the back, flanks, and lower abdomen. It is particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, resulting in loose skin and a need for comprehensive body contouring.
Benefits of Circumferential Abdominoplasty
- Comprehensive Contouring: Removes excess skin and fat around the entire torso, including the front, sides, and back, for a more complete body makeover.
- Enhanced Waistline and Torso Shape: Creates a smoother and more toned appearance, improving overall body proportions.
- Boosted Confidence: Increases self-esteem by addressing extensive skin laxity and improving body contour.
- Long-Lasting Results: Provides durable improvements with proper post-operative care and maintenance.

- Excess Skin and Fat Removal: Excess skin and fat are carefully removed from all areas of the torso to achieve the desired contour. The underlying abdominal muscles may also be tightened for improved results.
- Closing Incisions: The incisions are closed with sutures, which are placed to minimize visible scarring and promote optimal healing.
