360 Body Lift in Newport Beach
Lower Body Lift, Belt Lipectomy & 360 Body Lift With Lipo or BBL
A 360 body lift, also called a circumferential or lower body lift, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin, and often some fat, all the way around the lower trunk: the abdomen, flanks, hips, lower back and buttocks. At Beyond Restore in Newport Beach, we offer a lower body lift, a belt lipectomy, and a 360 body lift with liposuction or VASER or with a BBL.
Performed by Dr. Andrew Jarminski, a fellowship-trained cosmetic surgeon.
It starts with a free consultation.
What Is a 360 Body Lift?
After major weight loss, or with age and pregnancy, loose skin can hang around the whole lower body, not only the front of the abdomen. Exercise alone does not tighten stretched skin. A tummy tuck treats the front; a 360 body lift continues the incision around the hips and lower back so the abdomen, flanks, outer thighs and buttocks can be lifted together. Liposuction, including VASER, or a BBL can be added to refine the shape when Dr. Jarminski recommends it.
Who Is a Candidate for a 360 Body Lift?
- People with loose or hanging skin around the abdomen, hips, lower back and buttocks
- Clients at a stable weight, including after major weight loss or GLP-1 weight loss
- Non-smokers, or people willing to stop before and after surgery
- People in good general health with realistic expectations
How a 360 Body Lift Works
The procedure is done either awake, with Pro-Nox and tumescent local anesthesia, or under general anesthesia. Dr. Jarminski helps you choose at the consultation. He removes excess skin through an incision that runs around the lower trunk, placed where underwear or swimwear usually covers it, then lifts and closes the tissue. No drains are used. A 360 body lift takes about 6 hours, and you go home the same day.
Types of Body Lifts
| Version | Generally for | Incision |
|---|---|---|
| Lower body lift | Loose skin of the abdomen, hips, outer thighs and buttocks | Around the lower trunk |
| Belt lipectomy | Loose skin forming a “belt” around the waist | Around the waist |
| 360 body lift with liposuction or VASER | Loose skin plus areas of stubborn fat | Around the lower trunk, plus small lipo openings |
| 360 body lift with BBL | Loose skin plus a wish for more buttock volume | Around the lower trunk; fat transferred to the buttocks |
Dr. Jarminski recommends a version at the consultation.

What to Expect: Before, During & After
Before: free consultation with Dr. Jarminski, medical history, plan and pre-op instructions. Pricing is given at the consultation; financing through PatientFi, CareCredit and Cherry. Beyond Restore does not bill insurance.
During: you are either awake, with Pro-Nox and tumescent local anesthesia, or under general anesthesia. The procedure takes about 6 hours.
After: you go home the same day. No drains are used. You wear a compression garment and follow a plan for light activity and follow-up visits. Most people return to work in about 4 weeks, depending on how physical the job is, and to exercise in about 8 weeks. Your own recovery may differ.
Results Timeline
Swelling eases during recovery and the contour continues to settle over the following months. Results can change with weight changes and aging.
Risks
Like any surgery: bleeding, infection, swelling, a long visible scar, changes in sensation, asymmetry, fluid collection, wound separation, blood clots and the possible need for a revision. Dr. Jarminski reviews these at the consultation.
360 Body Lift vs Alternatives
A tummy tuck treats only the front of the abdomen. Non-surgical and less invasive options do not give the same results as surgery, because they do not remove loose skin. HD Liposuction removes fat; Renuvion tightens tissue; Morpheus8 Body may suit milder laxity.
360 Body Lift Questions Answered
What is the difference between a 360 body lift and a tummy tuck?
A tummy tuck treats loose skin at the front of the abdomen. A 360 body lift continues around the hips and lower back to lift the flanks and buttocks too.
Will there be a scar?
Yes. A 360 body lift leaves a scar around the lower trunk. It is placed where underwear or swimwear usually covers it, and you receive scar care instructions.
Am I awake during a 360 body lift?
You can be. It is done either awake, with Pro-Nox and tumescent local anesthesia, or under general anesthesia. It takes about 6 hours, and you go home the same day.
How long is recovery?
Most people return to work in about 4 weeks, depending on how physical the job is, and to exercise in about 8 weeks. No drains are used, and you wear a compression garment. Your own recovery may differ.
Can I combine a 360 body lift with other procedures?
Yes. A 360 body lift can be combined with liposuction or VASER, a BBL, Renuvion, a thigh lift, an arm lift or a breast lift. Dr. Jarminski advises what fits your goals.
Who is a good candidate?
People at a stable weight, often after major weight loss, including GLP-1 weight loss, who are non-smokers and in good general health.
Are there non-surgical alternatives?
Renuvion, HD Liposuction and Morpheus8 Body are options, but they do not give the same results as surgery because they do not remove loose skin.

Beyond Restore does not bill insurance. Financing is available.
