Does a lower body lift or belt lipectomy have a high mortality or death rate compared to gastric bypass?

Lower body lift is a major surgical procedure. As such it patients should be healthy and no major medical condition that can increase the risks of surgery.once a complete per operative clearance by the family physician and other specialties as needed is obtained, along with complete history, physical examination, complete blood work and EKG when indicated. It is important then to choose the right plastic surgeon , board certified, and the surgery is done in an accredited facility, anesthesia provider , board certified, the risks under these conditions are small, but never zero.risks and complications as well as the measures taken to lessen these risks should be discussed with the patient as part of the informed consent.also must allocate the appropriate length of time for recovery 

The 360 degree body lift is considerably less risky than GBP surgery. The single greatest risk factor for mid-torso tuck procedures is that of pulmonary embolus and the best ways to minimize this risk is to recognize it. We gather data on each of our patients to formally assess this risk and act accordingly based on evidence related data. Early and aggressive ambulation is also important. Even more important is the skill and experience of your surgeon. I have been specializing in post-massive weight loss since 1998 and take a very special interest in my post weight loss patients. Good luck and thank you for your excellent question. SG
