A 360 tummy tuck, also known as a circumferential tummy tuck or belt lipectomy, is a highly specialized body-contouring procedure designed to address loose, hanging skin and stubborn fat that encircle the entire lower torso. Unlike traditional tummy tucks, which primarily focus on the front of the abdomen, this surgery targets the abdomen, waist, lower back, and buttocks, providing comprehensive transformation for patients with significant skin laxity.
While some surgeons use the terms circumferential tummy tuck and lower body lift interchangeably, they are distinct procedures.
A 360 tummy tuck typically focuses on tummy tuck, waist reduction, and buttock lift, which may not fully address skin laxity in the thighs, pubic area, or lower back. This comprehensive strategy allows Dr. Agha to sculpt the lower torso with precision, restoring natural curves, tightening lax skin, and enhancing overall body proportion.
Dr. Siamak Agha is internationally recognized for his expertise in advanced body contouring, abdominoplasty, and body lift procedures. He has performed hundreds of 360 tummy tucks and High-Definition Lower Body Lift™ procedures, including complex revisions and post-weight loss surgeries.
Dr. Agha combines surgical precision with an artistic eye, ensuring that results are natural, balanced, and harmonious with each patient’s body. Unlike many surgeons, he approaches this circumferential procedure as more than just skin removal. He sculpts the waist, abdomen, and buttocks to restore proportion and enhance overall silhouette.
His expertise extends to minimizing scarring, contour irregularities, and postoperative complications, even in patients with extensive skin laxity or previous abdominal surgeries. By leveraging advanced techniques in lipocontouring, muscle repair, and layered closure, Dr. Agha consistently delivers results that are both aesthetically impressive and functionally supportive.
Patients also benefit from Dr. Agha’s personalized approach. Every surgical plan is customized to the patient’s anatomy, goals, and health status. He invests time in thorough consultations, ensuring patients fully understand the procedure, recovery, and expected outcomes. This commitment to individualized care is why patients consistently report high satisfaction rates and transformative results.
A 360 tummy tuck is a more invasive procedure than a standard abdominoplasty, so patient selection is critical for safety and optimal outcomes. This procedure is ideal for patients who have significant skin laxity or excess fat resulting from:
Patients who choose this procedure are often looking for life-changing results: a firmer, flatter abdomen, sculpted waist, lifted and rounded buttocks, and smooth contours from the waistline down to the thighs. While recovery may take longer than a standard tummy tuck, the results are transformative when performed by a surgeon with expertise in extensive body contouring, such as Dr. Siamak Agha.
Dr. Agha evaluates each patient individually, considering factors like skin quality, fat distribution, muscle laxity, and overall health. He ensures that candidates are medically fit for surgery, and he develops a customized surgical plan tailored to the patient’s anatomy and aesthetic goals.
A 360 tummy tuck performed by Dr. Agha can dramatically improve quality of life. Beyond aesthetic benefits, patients often experience:
For patients who have undergone massive weight loss, this circumferential approach can be especially life-changing, addressing areas that no diet or exercise alone can improve. Dr. Agha’s expertise ensures that the results are proportional, natural-looking, and durable, restoring the patient’s body confidence.
A 360 tummy tuck is a multi-step procedure performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Agha’s surgical approach is meticulous, balancing safety, function, and aesthetics to create natural, harmonious results.

The patient is first positioned face down, allowing Dr. Agha to access the lower back, waist, and buttocks. A lower-back incision is made that extends from waist to waist, effectively encircling the torso like a belt. Through this incision, excess skin and fat are carefully removed, and the tissue is lifted to enhance the buttock contour and waistline. The incision is then closed in multiple layers, providing support for the newly lifted buttocks.
Once the back and waist are addressed, the patient is turned onto their back. Dr. Agha then focuses on the abdomen, removing any remaining excess skin and fat. The abdominal muscles are repaired and tightened if needed, restoring core support and improving the overall flatness of the stomach. This step is crucial, as many patients who have lost significant weight have diastasis recti (separated abdominal muscles) that contributes to abdominal bulging.
The final stage involves carefully closing the abdominal incision to ensure smooth contours and minimize visible scarring. Surgical drains are typically placed in both the abdominal and waist areas to prevent fluid accumulation, and they are usually removed after about ten days. Dr. Agha emphasizes meticulous closure techniques, which reduce scarring and promote optimal healing.
Because this is an extensive procedure, patients require professional postoperative care to support safe recovery. Dr. Agha provides a detailed recovery plan, including compression garments, activity restrictions, wound care, and follow-up appointments, all designed to protect surgical results and minimize complications. While recovery can take several weeks, most patients notice dramatic improvements in body contour and mobility once healing is complete.
Dr. Agha is an industry leader. Whether it is your face, breasts, or body, over the past 20+ years, Dr. Agha has pioneered multiple worthwhile plastic surgery procedures that focus on creating definition and 3-dimensional results.
While most plastic surgery techniques are designed for 2-dimensional correction, Dr. Agha has been working on creating contour and shape in the third element of dimension. His pioneered procedures include the high-definition tummy tuck, high-definition mommy makeover, dermal bra-suspension breast reshaping, and what he calls buttocks aug-shaping. Dr. Agha has also written extensively on nutritional optimization of plastic surgery patients. As a result of his contributions, Dr. Agha has appeared as a faculty member at five annual meetings of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons to teach other plastic surgeons as an expert.
