What Is Lipo 360?

Lipo 360 is an advanced liposuction procedure that addresses the full circumference of the torso. Unlike traditional liposuction that targets a single area, this technique removes unwanted fat from the upper and lower abdomen, flanks, and mid-to-lower back in one comprehensive surgery. The goal is to create a more harmonious, contoured, and proportionate shape from every angle.

Explore before and after photos showcasing the body-contouring results achieved through Lipo 360. These images provide examples of how targeted fat removal around the midsection can create smoother, more defined contours. Because every patient has unique anatomy and goals, individual results will vary.

Your Lipo 360 Procedure Overview

Comprehensive Midsection Contouring

Lipo 360 is not just about fat removal; it’s about artistic sculpting. The procedure is designed to enhance your natural curves and create a more athletic or hourglass figure by treating the midsection as a whole. This 360-degree approach ensures smooth transitions and a balanced final appearance.

Advanced Vaser Liposuction Technique

At our Scottsdale practice, we often utilize Vaser liposuction, an advanced technology that uses ultrasound energy to selectively break down fat cells before they are removed. This technique allows for more precise contouring and is gentler on surrounding tissues, often resulting in a smoother outcome.

Customized Treatment Areas

While Lipo 360 addresses the entire midsection, your procedure will be tailored to your specific needs. During your consultation, we will identify the precise areas for fat removal, ensuring your results align with your aesthetic goals. This typically includes the abdomen, love handles, waist, and back.

Long-Lasting, Natural-Looking Results

The fat cells removed during Lipo 360 do not grow back, providing long-lasting results. By maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle, you can enjoy your newly defined contours for years to come. Our goal is to produce a result that looks natural and enhances your body’s existing shape.

Your Consultation and Procedure Preparation

Your journey begins with a private consultation with our surgical team. We will discuss your aesthetic goals, perform a physical examination, and review your medical history to ensure you are a suitable candidate. This is your opportunity to ask questions and understand all aspects of the procedure.

Based on your consultation, a customized surgical plan is created. This plan details the techniques to be used, the expected outcome, and provides a full cost breakdown. We ensure you are fully informed and comfortable with every step before moving forward.

Before your surgery, you will receive specific pre-operative instructions. These may include dietary adjustments, medication modifications, and arranging for post-operative transportation and care. Following these guidelines is crucial for a safe procedure and smooth recovery.

The Lipo 360 Surgical Process

Anesthesia and Incision Placement

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia for your comfort and safety. Your surgeon will make several small, discreet incisions around the torso. These are strategically placed to be easily concealed by clothing.

Tumescent Fluid Infiltration

A sterile tumescent solution is introduced into the treatment areas. This fluid mixture helps to numb the area, constrict blood vessels to minimize bleeding, and make the fat easier to remove. This step is essential for a safer and more effective procedure.

Fat Removal and Sculpting

Using a thin tube called a cannula, your surgeon will gently suction away the unwanted fat. The surgeon moves the cannula back and forth to break up the fat and then removes it, carefully sculpting the midsection to achieve the desired contour and definition.

Incision Closure and Garment Application

Once the sculpting is complete, the small incisions are closed. A special compression garment is then applied to the treated areas. This garment helps to reduce swelling, support the new contours, and facilitate the healing process.

Recovery and Aftercare

Immediate Post-Operative Period

Following surgery, you will be monitored in our recovery area before being released to your designated caregiver. Wearing your compression garment as directed is crucial during this initial phase. Some swelling, bruising, and discomfort are normal and can be managed with prescribed medication.

Returning to Daily Activities

Most patients can return to a desk job and light activities within about a week. You should avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for four to six weeks, or as advised by your surgeon. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your healing progress.

Managing Swelling and Discomfort

Swelling is a normal part of the healing process and will gradually subside over several weeks. Your compression garment helps to minimize swelling, and we may also recommend Lymphatic Massage to aid recovery. This service, available at our practice, can help reduce fluid buildup and support healing.

Visible and Final Results

You will notice an immediate improvement in your contour, but final results become more apparent as swelling resolves. It can take three to six months for your body to fully heal and for the final, refined shape to emerge. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle helps ensure these results are long-lasting.

Happy Patients, Real Confidence.

Lipo 360 Frequently Asked Questions

Is Lipo 360 a weight loss procedure?

No, Lipo 360 is not a weight loss tool. It is a body contouring procedure designed for individuals who are already close to their ideal body weight but struggle with localized, stubborn fat deposits. The goal is to improve shape and proportion, not to significantly reduce weight.

How much recovery time is needed after Lipo 360?

Most patients feel well enough to return to office work and light activities within one week. Strenuous activities and exercise should be avoided for approximately four to six weeks. Your surgeon will provide a personalized recovery timeline based on your procedure.

Will I have scars after Lipo 360?

Lipo 360 requires very small incisions to insert the cannula. These incisions are strategically placed in natural skin creases to be as inconspicuous as possible. Over time, they typically fade and become barely noticeable.

When will I see the final results from Lipo 360?

While you will see a noticeable difference soon after the procedure, initial swelling can obscure the final outcome. It typically takes three to six months for all swelling to resolve and for your new, refined contours to become fully visible.

What is the difference between Lipo 360 and Vaser Liposuction?

Lipo 360 refers to the area being treated—the entire 360-degree circumference of the torso. Vaser Liposuction is a specific technology that can be used to perform the procedure. We often use Vaser technology during Lipo 360 to achieve precise and smooth results.
