BELT LIFT
Hi joeyanne I don't know what a belt lift is, but I do hope to one day have a tummy tuck and upper arm lift once I have lost all my weight and am stable at my goal for 2 years. When is your procedure date? I just wanted to let you know that I am rooting for you and sending you good vibes for a speedy recovery! I am sure you will do great! Be sure to keep us posted.
I haven't had one but have looked into the process. If you have ever heard of a circumferential lift, it's the same thing. They will remove a band of skin (usually 4-8 inches wide all the way around front and back (depends on your excess), then sew you back up. you end up with a scar that looks like a magician cut you in half. so I guess you could joke about it :) it's mean to remove excess skin but also 'lift' the lower body somewhat. a 'lower body lift' is not the same though. that involves thighs and butt.
I've looked into these because I will likely need them myself.
