Thank you for your question regarding what is the death and pulmonary embolism rates for a belt lipectomy or lower body lift. I have not read any published data regarding the statistics. However following plastic surgeons who specialize in plastic surgery after massive weight loss. The death rate after a belt lipectomy is probably less than 0.05 percent. The incidence of pulmonary embolism is slightly higher because many people do not die of a pulmonary embolism.
