Belt lipectomy is a surgical procedure designed to address excess skin and fat around the lower trunk, particularly in individuals who have undergone significant weight loss, either through bariatric surgery or other means. The procedure involves excising redundant skin and fat circumferentially around the abdomen, flanks, and back, resulting in improved contour and a more toned appearance. By combining abdominoplasty, lower body lift, and back lift elements, belt lipectomy aims to provide comprehensive body contouring while minimizing scarring and optimizing aesthetic outcomes.Clinicians participating in this course gain comprehensive knowledge and skills essential for safely and effectively performing this complex surgical procedure. Participants learn about patient selection criteria, preoperative assessment, surgical techniques, and postoperative management strategies for belt lipectomy. Clinicians enhance their proficiency in body contouring surgery, expand their surgical repertoire, and ultimately improve patient care and satisfaction. Further, the importance of collaboratively communicating and coordinating with the interprofessional healthcare team is highlighted.
