Professional 360 Body Lift Surgery in Houston
Professional 360° Body Lift Surgery in Houston
Achieve a Toned, Sculpted Look After Major Weight Loss
Major weight loss is a powerful achievement. However, for many patients, excess skin around the abdomen, waist, hips, and lower back can prevent their results from fully showing. At Texas Aesthetics & Bariatrics, we perform advanced 360° body lift surgery to reshape the entire midsection and create smoother, firmer contours.
Under the direction of Ricardo M. Bonnor, MD, FACS, our Houston practice focuses on comprehensive body contouring for patients who want their physical appearance to reflect the effort behind their weight loss journey. A 360° body lift in Houston is often the final stage in achieving a balanced and refined silhouette.
What is a 360° Body Lift?
A 360° body lift, also referred to as a circumferential body lift, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin and tightens tissue around the entire torso.
Unlike a traditional tummy tuck that focuses only on the front of the abdomen, a 360° body lift addresses:
✔ Abdomen
✔ Waist
✔ Flanks
✔ Lower back
✔ Hips
Treating the full circumference of the midsection during one operation creates a more harmonious and sculpted result from every angle. This technique is particularly beneficial for individuals who have experienced significant weight loss, including those who have undergone bariatric surgery.
Why Consider a 360° Body Lift?
Following major weight loss, skin frequently loses elasticity and does not retract completely. This can result in::
✔ Loose or hanging skin around the waist
✔ Skin folds on the lower back
✔ Persistent fullness despite weight loss
✔ Difficulty fitting comfortably in clothing
✔ Skin irritation within folds
A 360° body lift removes excess skin and reshapes the torso to improve contour and proportion. Many patients view a 360° body lift in Houston as the procedure that completes their transformation, revealing underlying muscle tone and highlighting the results of their weight loss.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a 360° Body Lift?
You may be a strong candidate if you:
✔ Have lost a significant amount of weight
✔ Maintain a stable weight
✔ Are bothered by loose skin around your midsection
✔ Are in good overall health
✔ Do not smoke
✔ Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
Patients who continue to lose weight or anticipate major future weight changes are generally advised to postpone surgery. During your consultation, we review your medical history, assess skin quality, and discuss your goals to determine if this procedure aligns with your needs.
360° Body Lift Procedure: Step-by-Step
Step One: Personalized Consultation
The process begins with a detailed evaluation of your anatomy and a thorough discussion of your aesthetic goals. Surgical planning emphasizes symmetry and proportional balance around the entire torso.
Step Two: Surgery Day
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia. Excess skin and tissue are removed circumferentially around the midsection. The remaining tissue is tightened and repositioned to create a firmer, smoother contour. Incisions are strategically placed to be concealed beneath undergarments whenever possible.
Step Three: Recovery and Healing
After surgery, patients wear compression garments to support healing and reduce swelling. Mild to moderate swelling and tightness are expected initially. Light activity resumes gradually, while strenuous exercise is typically postponed for several weeks. Final results continue to refine as swelling resolves.
