What is a 360 tummy tuck?

As the name implies a 360 tummy tuck not only deals with excess fat and skin in the tummy area but extends around the whole body taking fat and excess skin from the back as well as the abdomen. This is sometimes known as a belt lipectomy, an extended abdominoplasty, a circumferential lipectomy or even a lower body lift.

This extended tummy tuck is sometimes performed by using liposuction to extract the fat in the back. It will not only help in contouring the abdominal area but may also help to vanquish bra rolls and love handles. An extended tummy tuck is effective for body contouring after massive weight loss. A different procedure – a panniculectomy – is very similar to a lipectomy. Abdominal panniculectomy surgery is often performed to combat the ‘apron’ of fat and skin which may hang down from the tummy after weight loss.
