✨ Circumferential Body Lift (Belt Lipectomy) with Gluteal Auto Augmentation and Liposuction After Massive Weight Loss ✨ 360° Procedure
This patient achieved an incredible 72kg weight loss following gastric sleeve surgery 4 years ago but was left with significant skin redundancy, abdominolipodystrophy, and re**us diastasis (abdominal muscle separation). To restore body contour and function, Dr Cheng performed a circumferential body lift (belt lipectomy) – a 360° procedure addressing excess skin and fat around the abdomen, flanks, lower back, and buttocks.
👨‍⚕️ Surgeon: Dr Eddie Cheng | MED0001399314

💉 Procedure Details: ✅ Back Lipectomy: Skin and fat excision to reshape the lower back and waist ✅ Gluteal Auto-Augmentation: Utilising the patient’s own tissue to restore volume and shape to the buttocks ✅ Liposuction: Refining contour in multiple areas ✅ Abdominoplasty with liposuction (Tummy Tuck): Skin and fat excision for a firmer, smoother abdominal area ✅ Re**us Plication: Repairing muscle separation for core strength and posture improvement ✅ Umbilical Relocation: Maintaining natural belly button aesthetics ✅ Drains: 15 Fr Blake’s drain placed for post-operative fluid management

🔹 What is a Circumferential Body Lift? A belt lipectomy is an advanced body contouring surgery designed for patients who have lost massive weight. Unlike a traditional tummy tuck, this procedure removes excess skin and fat from the entire midsection, including the lower back and buttocks. It helps address:⚡ Sagging, redundant skin⚡Skin irritation and infections (intertrigo)⚡ Loss of natural buttock volume post-weight loss

📅 Recovery & Aftercare:🩹 Patients wear compression garments for 6 weeks to support healing🚶‍♂️ Early mobilisation is encouraged to reduce the risk of complications
Drain removal may take 5-10 days 🏥 Hospital stay of 3-7 nights depending on individual recovery progress⚠️ Full results take time – swelling gradually reduces over months, with scars maturing over 12-18 months

💡 2 Staged Breast Surgery: Breast Reduction with Lift followed by breast augmentation surgery.

PLEASE NOTE: Before and after images have been removed by Facebook but can be seen via the link below.

For some patients, a staged approach to breast surgery provides the best results. This patient underwent a bilateral breast reduction with accessory breast tissue removal as Stage 1, followed by breast augmentation with 425cc round textured silicone implants six months later.

✅ Why Choose a Staged Approach?
✔️ Optimised Breast Shape & Symmetry – Allowing tissues to settle before augmentation ensures a more balanced result.
✔️ Improved Healing & Safety – Reduces surgical stress and minimises complications.
✔️ Tailored Volume Selection – Implant size and shape are chosen after healing.
✔️ Flexibility in Decision-Making – Patients have time to decide if augmentation aligns with their goals.
