Belt Lipectomy in Abu Dhabi | Elyzee Hospital
Elyzee Hospital is recognized as one of the best medical centres in Abu Dhabi, specialising in advanced Belt Lipectomy (lower body lift) to restore proportion, tighten loose skin and reshape the abdomen, hips, buttocks and thighs.
Belt Lipectomy — The secret to a more balanced, sculpted body
Belt lipectomy (lower body lift) is a transformative surgery for patients who have experienced major weight loss or have significant skin and tissue laxity in the lower torso. By removing excess skin, tightening underlying tissues and contouring the waistline, a belt lipectomy smooths and restores the lower body for a firmer, more proportionate silhouette.
Consultation & Preparation
During your consultation at Elyzee Hospital the plastic surgeon will:
- Review your medical history and perform a physical assessment
- Discuss expected outcomes and your body goals
- Determine if belt lipectomy is the most suitable procedure or if adjunctive liposuction / staged surgery is recommended
Pre-operative preparation may include medical tests, medication review, smoking cessation and following detailed pre-op instructions to minimise risks and support recovery.
What happens during the procedure?
A typical belt lipectomy includes:
- Anesthesia: general anaesthesia for patient comfort and safety
- Incision planning: incisions are planned circumferentially around the waist to remove and reposition tissue for a lower body lift
- Tissue repositioning: excess skin and fat are removed and underlying tissues are tightened to create a smoother contour
- Liposuction (optional): performed if additional contouring is required
- Closure: careful layered closure with drains or dressings as needed
Procedure length varies with extent and combination procedures; your surgeon will outline details during the consultation.
After the procedure & recovery
- Hospital stay may be required for monitoring depending on procedure extent
- Follow surgeon instructions for wound care, drains (if placed), medications and compression garments
- Expect swelling and bruising that will gradually settle; light walking is encouraged early to aid circulation
- Avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for several weeks; attend scheduled follow-ups for progress checks and suture/drain removal
Final results
As healing progresses and swelling reduces, patients notice a firmer abdomen, contoured waist, improved hip and thigh shape and an overall more balanced lower body silhouette. Long-term outcomes depend on wound care, lifestyle and natural healing.
