Lipo 360 is a cosmetic procedure during which excess fat from the abdomen, waist, and flanks is removed. In this method, using an ultrasound device probe, the fats are broken down and then removed from the body through a cannula tube.
A notable point is that the fats removed in Lipo 360 do not return, so the result of this procedure will be permanent, unless the individual, through an improper diet and insufficient physical activity, creates the conditions for new fat accumulation in these areas.
In addition to removing fat, this technique also helps correct body curves and creates smooth and symmetrical lines in the midsection; therefore, the goal of Lipo 360 without transfer is not just fat reduction, but also body shaping and beautification.
What are the applications of the Lipo 360 body contouring?
Lipo 360 is a suitable option for individuals who are looking for significant changes in their body shape. This method, unlike full body contouring surgery, helps create proportion and shape the body in the waist, abdomen, and flanks by contouring the mid-body areas. The applications of this procedure include:
- Removing excess fat from the waist, abdomen, and flanks
- Preventing skin sagging and looseness
- Creating curved lines in the waist and abdominal area
- Improving body proportion in the mid-body section
- Having an indirect effect on cellulite reduction
In fact, with this procedure, you can have a well-shaped and curvy body in addition to reducing fat in the abdomen and sides.
Steps for 360-degree Lipo procedure
360-degree lipo is not limited to a specific device or method such as VASER Lipo. This procedure can be performed using techniques such as Liposet, Lipomatic, VASER, or other standard liposuction equipment. Except for the VASER Lipo method, in other liposuction methods, after fat extraction, there may be a risk of skin laxity, therefore, skin tightening is considered an important part of this procedure. The steps for performing this procedure are as follows:
Who are the suitable candidates for 360-degree liposuction?
360-degree liposuction is not a weight loss method, but rather as one of the types of body contouring surgery it is designed for body shaping; therefore, individuals with significant overweight are not considered suitable candidates for this surgery. Generally, individuals with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of less than 34 are more suitable candidates for this procedure; also, those who meet the following conditions are considered suitable candidates for Lipo 360:
- Individuals who are at or close to their ideal weight.
- Are in good physical health.
- Have excess localized fat in various body areas, such as the abdomen and flanks.
- Their skin has good elasticity and does not sag severely.
Therefore, liposuction 360 is a suitable and effective option for people seeking body shaping and localized fat removal, and is not used for weight loss.
Benefits of 360-degree Lipomatic Procedure
The main advantage of Lipo 360 compared to other liposuction methods is its final result. Unlike traditional liposuction, which focuses more on the amount of fat removed and less on overall body proportion, Lipo 360 is performed with the aim of creating an ideal body shape and appearance. Lipo 360 helps those who are looking to achieve a flatter abdomen and a slimmer, more contoured midsection. The benefits of this method are as follows:
- Creating a flatter abdomen (For addressing sagging and large abdomens, abdominoplasty is recommended.)
- Slimming and contouring the flanks.
- Achieving a smoother appearance and overall body proportion.
- Ability to combine with other body contouring surgeries or fat transfer to various body areas such as Breast surgery or buttock fat transfer.
If you have reached your ideal weight through diet and exercise, but are still unhappy with the shape of your midsection, Lipo 360 may be an effective solution for you.
Complications of 360-degree liposuction
Complications of Lipo 360 will be controllable by observing pre- and post-operative care and consulting a specialist surgeon. The most important complications of this procedure are as follows:
- Due to poor contouring and irregular fat removal, the skin may lose its elasticity and not have a beautiful and smooth appearance.
- In some cases, fluid accumulates under the skin, which is called seroma. These fluids should be removed using proper massage.
- After liposuction in different areas of the body, there is a possibility of skin infection and numbness (either temporary or permanent); also, in some cases, a piece of fat may enter the blood vessels.
If the plastic surgeon is not skilled enough during lipo, the surgery may lead to serious complications; therefore, to avoid these complications, be careful in choosing a surgeon. In this case, there will be no risk to your health.
360 Degree Lipo Postoperative Care
After undergoing a Lipo 360 procedure, it is recommended to get sufficient rest and avoid strenuous activities. Additionally, during the recovery period, the doctor advises taking prescribed medications, wearing compression garments, and adhering to a suitable diet.
The final results of Lipomatic 360 will be visible after a few weeks, and you can enjoy positive changes in your body shape and appearance. However, it is important to follow your doctor’s recommendations over time to ensure permanent results.
