This procedure was recently featured in the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Journal in an article authored by Dr. Makipour —
only the third article ever of its kind ever to be published. This procedure is a combination of a tummy tuck, which contours the front of the abdomen and flanks, with a buttock lift to contour the back side of the body. When these procedures are performed together, the effect is a total 360 degree transformation all the way around. The incision is typically a single incision hidden well below the bikini line. This is usually the procedure required in patients with massive weight loss or very dramatic weight changes. This procedure can be combined with liposuction or breast procedures.
