Would I benefit from a belt lipectomy or tummy tuck?

you would be a good candidate for a belt lipectomy. If done correctly it will enhance the appearance of your buttocks.

Dear Yalie8,
Thank you for your question about the benefits of a tummy tuck versus a 360 circumferential lower body lift, especially in relation to your concerns about buttock contouring.
Tummy Tuck vs. 360 Circumferential Lower Body Lift:
Both procedures include a tummy tuck, addressing the abdominal area. The key difference is that the 360 circumferential lower body lift also involves the back and buttocks.
Buttock Concerns:
Don't worry about the thickness of your skin or popping stitches; thicker skin on the back and buttocks is typical.
Consider your goals for buttock surgery: Is it to reduce wrinkles, change volume, or improve proportion?
Options for Buttock Contouring:
Volume Reduction: Extending the incision from the tummy tuck over the buttocks can remove excess skin and fat for a smaller buttock size.
Lifting and Wrinkle Reduction: If you're looking to lift the skin and reduce wrinkles without changing the volume, the lower body lift can achieve this by lifting the skin alone.
Augmentation (Making Buttocks Bigger):
Propeller Flap: Rotates fat from the upper buttock to augment the area.
Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL): Utilizes fat harvested from your abdomen (during the tummy tuck) to augment the buttocks. This procedure can lift and increase the size of the buttocks.
Decision Making:
Decide whether you want your buttocks to be bigger, smaller, or just lifted.
For augmentation: Consider a BBL or propeller flap.
For reduction: A 360 circumferential lower body lift with skin and fat removal.
For lifting only: A 360 lower body lift focusing on skin excision.
In conclusion, your choice between a tummy tuck and a 360 circumferential lower body lift will depend on your specific goals for buttock contouring. Consulting with a plastic surgeon experienced in these procedures will help clarify the best option for your needs.
Wishing you the best as you make this important decision.
Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen

In your case, a beltectomy is not going to give you a much better result than a well-performed abdominoplasty, but you would have a longer scar.  I don't think you will 'pop the stitches'.  If you want enhancement of the buttocks, this should be done first and then the abdominoplasty can be done at a later time.  

your best option is to have an evaluation by a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, or a second opinion if you need more information
We have performed over 100 Around the World or Belt Lipectomies, they have the ability to smooth the Anterior Abdominal Wall, tighten the abdominal wall musculature, correction of the flanks, and an elevation of the buttocks.  Actually, it was the first type of Buttocks lift.  Check out our website for results to see.

The body lift is designed for patients who have a lot of loose skin in the buttock and lateral thighs. I think most of your trouble could be corrected with a tummy tuck. You could also have some liposuction and possibly transfer that fat to your buttock if you would like to firm it up a bit without the big posterior incision. Good luck.

Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your
photograph, you are a great candidate for a tummy tuck with liposuction.  This can be done through a low incision, all completely below the bikini line. 
The belly button can be designed to look natural and have no scars on
the exterior.   Your muscles can also be
plicated resulting in a flat abdomen. 
Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of
real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate
their results.  The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are
comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified
board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Deciding upon a tummy tuck alone versus a belt lipectomy is very common.  It would be helpful to see a picture of your back.  If there is  extra skin and fat that continues around the side and back then a belt lipectomy  would be best. A belt lipectomy will also raise the buttocks and give you a better shape. 

My thoughts would be for you to have the following procedures:
Tummy Tuck with liposuction of the waistFat Transfer (Brazillian) to the buttockBreast Lift with a cohesive Breast Implant
If you are trying to achieve a narrow waist, flat tummy and more buttock shape, I would recommend some or all of the procedures described above.

Thank you for your question and photo's.  From what I can see, I think a tummy tuck will be enough for you.  I also liposuction the flanks as part of my tummy tuck procedure which adds more contour and tapers the sides in which gives more of an hour glass physique, this also makes the buttock appear larger . 

looking at the picture you will most likely benefit from tummy tuck combined with liposuction .Of course final decision only after exam in person. Belt lipectomy is usually indicated for patients who have lost massive amount of weight, 90lbs or above with sagging of  outer thigh and buttocks. If I am doing belt lipectomy I combine it with buttock enhancing procedure such as fat grafting or using local tissue.
