In patient who have lost significant weight either on their own or following weight-losss surgery, special technique and modification of abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) allows the surgeon to reliably remove excess tissue while tightening the abdomen, creating a nice and desired waistline.
At times, the surgery would have to be extended to the back and excess tissue needs to be removed circumferentially. This procedure is called circumferential body lift and can be modified to improve the size and shape of the buttocks as well.
