Lipo 360

What is lipo 360

Lipo 360, also known as circumferential liposuction, is a procedure that removes excess fat from the entire midsection, targeting the abdomen, flanks, and back for more comprehensive body contouring. This technique has become the preferred approach for achieving refined, balanced results.

Previously, liposuction was commonly used to treat isolated fat pockets, such as those in the lower abdomen. However, doctors have found that focusing on only one area can create an uneven appearance. It’s now standard practice to reposition the patient during the procedure to address the back, flanks, and bra rolls, ensuring smoother transitions between treated and untreated areas.

Most Lipo 360 procedures incorporate advanced fat-removal methods like VASER liposuction or power-assisted liposuction (PAL) to break up fat more efficiently. While this technique provides a more uniform result, patient selection remains crucial—this approach isn’t necessary for everyone. A good candidate is someone who can grasp a noticeable amount of fat around their lower back and sides.

FAQs

Is this procedure painful?

Most patients experience mild to moderate discomfort rather than acute pain. Pain medication will be prescribed to manage any discomfort during the initial recovery period.

How long until I see final results?

While initial changes are visible within weeks, the final refined results typically take several months as the body continues to heal and settle.

Will I have visible scars?

Our surgeons use advanced techniques to minimize scarring. Most incisions are placed in natural creases or inconspicuous locations, and scars typically fade over time.
