Answer: Trunkplasty vs belt lipectomy - what is the difference? Trunkplasty and belt lipectomy are both body contouring procedures, but they target different areas. Trunkplasty focuses on the abdomen and lower back, addressing excess skin and fat in that region. Belt lipectomy, on the other hand, involves a circumferential removal of excess skin and fat, typically addressing the abdomen, hips, and lower back in a “belt-like” manner. The choice between them depends on the specific areas you want to target and your overall aesthetic goals. Consulting with a plastic surgeon would provide recommendations based on your needs.

Answer: Difference between a trunkplasty and belt Lipectomy Hello and thank you for your question. A trunkplasty is a modified version of a fleur-de-lis. It usually requires a horizontal incision under the breasts. It gives a strong pull centrally to narrow the waist. You are therefore left with a scar from the bottom of the sternum down to just above the pubis. There may be horizontal scars at the bottom and top of the vertical scar.A belt Lipectomy is a 360 degree incision but high in the waist and back and lower in the front. It elongates the buttocks and does not allow for auto augmentation of the buttocks and hips. The first one does nothing for the hips buttocks or thighs.You probably can tell that I am not a fan of either one, especially if you are a weight loss patient.My practice is 80% post massive weight loss body contouring. I think you should look at other board certified plastic surgeons who do lots of post massive weight loss body contouring procedures. Check to see if they do lower body lifts, because that is the procedure you probably will need IF you are a weight loss patient.Peter Fisher M.D.
