In cases where other areas of the body besides the upper arms are affected by excess skin, a belt lipectomy (also known as a body lift) can provide a comprehensive solution.

During this procedure, several areas such as the abdomen, pubic mound, flanks, back and buttocks are tightened in one session. By extending the incision, even the thighs can be treated. In order to minimize the surgical strain on the body, it is recommended that the procedure be split into two sessions in cases of very pronounced findings.

The result is a significantly improved body contour and a firmer appearance. The remaining, circular scar is in the lower body area and can easily be concealed with underwear.
