You’ve tried dieting. You’ve tried exercising. But you still have stubborn belly and back fat that refuse to go away. Is there a solution? Yes! It’s a surgical, cosmetic fat removal procedure called Lipo 360.
What is Liposuction 360?
Traditional liposuction only addresses excess fat in one area of the body, such as the belly or hips. Lipo 360, also called circumferential trunk liposuction, is more extensive and focuses on the entire torso. It’s an outpatient procedure that “wraps” around the whole circumference of the upper body (thus the name 360), removing fat deposits from the belly, lower abdomen, hips, love handles, lower back, and upper back in one procedure. It permanently removes excess fat by suctioning it away.
How is Liposuction 360 Performed?
First, you will be placed under local anesthesia. Next, Dr. Carlos Mercado, our highly credentialed, board-certified surgeon, will utilize a procedure called tumescent liposuction to remove fat pockets. This method involves making smaller incisions than traditional liposuction. No stitches are required.
During a Liposuction 360 procedure:
• Dr. Mercado will inject a solution containing lidocaine (a numbing agent) into the treatment site. This solution breaks up fat cells and numbs the area.
• Next, tiny incisions (no larger than a freckle) are made and a small cannula (a hollow tube) is inserted. The cannula suctions away fat cells.
• Not only is fat removed, but similarly to Colombian liposculpture, Dr. Mercado will sculpt your body to provide you with a contoured physique.
After the Liposuction 360 procedure, Dr. Mercado will prescribe pain medication and give you a compression garment to reduce swelling and help you heal with the proper silhouette– this garment should be worn as instructed. He will also provide you with aftercare instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to track your recovery.
How Long is Liposuction 360 Recovery?
Liposuction 360 recovery and symptoms vary from patient to patient. However, most people experience soreness, some bruising, and swelling on or around the treated area lasting about 10 to 14 days. Some swelling may last as long as six weeks. Most people are able to do some light activities after a week and can return to work and do more strenuous activities in less than a week.
How Long Will It Take to See Results From Liposuction 360?
Due to swelling, your results may not be obvious at first. As the swelling goes down, the outcome will be more and more noticeable. Some people are able to see the final results in only three months, while others may see them in six months.
Who Are Good Candidates for Lipo 360?
The best candidates for Liposuction 360 are people who have fat that is resistant to diet and exercise. The most suitable candidate is a healthy nonsmoker who is close to their ideal weight, with a BMI (body mass index) under 30. Good skin elasticity and muscle tone are also helpful. People who are interested in 360 Liposuction must realize that it is surgery, and take it seriously. They should have realistic expectations about what it can and can’t do: it’s not a weight-loss procedure or a treatment for cellulite.
Can Lipo 360 Be Combined With Other Procedures?
Yes. Liposuction 360 can be combined with additional procedures, including Renuvion for skin Tightening, cellulite treatments, orbutt lifts. A discussion with Dr. Mercado at the initial consultation will help you understand if multiple procedures are a safe option for you. In cases of some butt lifts or body sculpting, the extracted fat will be cleaned and immediately re-injected in the target areas for optimal effectiveness.
