360° Body Lift in Houston, TX

Achieve a Toned, Sculpted Look After Major Weight Loss

Losing a significant amount of weight is a life-changing accomplishment, but it often comes with a challenge many don’t expect—loose, sagging skin that hides your hard-earned results. If excess skin around your abdomen, waist, and lower back is preventing you from fully embracing your transformation, a 360° Body Lift (also called a belt lipectomy) could be the solution.

Dr. Ricardo Bonnor, a double board-certified surgeon, specializes in body contouring after weight loss, helping patients achieve a tighter, more sculpted appearance from every angle. Whether you’ve lost weight through bariatric surgery or lifestyle changes, we’re here to help you take the final step in your journey with expert care and natural-looking results.

What is a 360° Body Lift?

A 360° Body Lift is a comprehensive body contouring procedure that removes excess skin and tightens the midsection, targeting:

✔ Abdomen – Eliminates loose, overhanging skin and restores a firmer, flatter stomach.
✔ Waist & Flanks – Redefines your waistline for a more contoured silhouette.
✔ Lower Back & Hips – Smooths out back rolls and enhances overall symmetry.
✔ Buttocks & Outer Thighs – Lifts and reshapes sagging tissue for a more youthful, toned appearance.

This procedure is highly customizable and can be combined with liposuction to remove stubborn fat, further enhancing your results.

Why Consider a 360° Body Lift?

Major weight loss is an incredible achievement, but loose skin can be a frustrating reminder of the past. Excess skin isn’t just a cosmetic concern—it can cause:

✔ Discomfort & Skin Irritation – Chafing, rashes, and difficulty finding clothing that fits well.
✔ Loss of Confidence – Feeling self-conscious despite reaching your weight loss goals.
✔ Limited Mobility – Excess skin can make physical activity uncomfortable.

A 360° Body Lift helps you reclaim your body, allowing you to enjoy your healthier, more active lifestyle with confidence.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

You may be an ideal candidate for a 360° Body Lift if you:

✔ Have loose, sagging skin around your midsection after weight loss.
✔ Are in good overall health and close to your goal weight.
✔ Have maintained a stable weight for at least 6 months.
✔ Do not smoke (or are willing to quit before and after surgery).
✔ Have realistic expectations about the results.

If you still have stubborn fat but minimal loose skin, Lipo 360 may be a better option. Dr. Bonnor will create a personalized treatment plan based on your unique needs.

What to Expect: The 360° Body Lift Process

Step 1: Your Consultation

During your consultation at Texas Surgical Arts, Dr. Bonnor will:

  • Assess your skin elasticity and overall health.

  • Discuss your goals and expectations for surgery.

  • Review your medical history to ensure you’re a good candidate.

  • Explain the procedure, recovery, and expected results in detail.

This is your opportunity to ask any questions and feel confident in your decision.

Step 2: Preparing for Surgery

To ensure a smooth procedure and optimal healing, we’ll provide detailed pre-surgery instructions, including:

✔ Stopping certain medications and supplements.
✔ Avoiding nicotine and alcohol before surgery.
✔ Eating a healthy diet to support recovery.
✔ Arranging for help at home after your procedure.

Step 3: The Procedure

The 360° Body Lift is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 4 to 6 hours. Dr. Bonnor will:

  • Make a circumferential incision around your waistline.

  • Remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen, flanks, and lower back.

  • Tighten underlying muscles if needed.

  • Carefully reposition and sculpt tissue for a natural, smooth contour.

  • Close incisions with precision to minimize scarring.

For enhanced results, liposuction may be used to refine the waist, hips, or back.

Step 4: Recovery & Results

Most patients take 2 to 3 weeks off work to recover. You’ll need to:

✔ Wear a compression garment to support healing.
✔ Limit strenuous activity for about 6 weeks.
✔ Follow all post-op care instructions to reduce swelling and optimize results.

You’ll start noticing dramatic improvements within a few weeks, with final results appearing over 3 to 6 months. The best part? The results are long-lasting, especially when maintained with a healthy lifestyle.
