Medically reviewed by Dr. Omar Tillo MD, MS, EBOPRAS, FRCS (Plast) When stubborn pockets of fat prove resistant to dieting and exercise, the body can begin to lose its tone and definition. Lipo 360 is a highly effective liposuction procedure designed to restore this definition by targeting multiple areas of your body and removing unwanted fat.
This article is a guide to Lipo 360, detailing its many benefits and responding to some of the most common queries patients have about the procedure.
The CREO Clinic’s board-certified cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Omar Tillo, is a renowned expert in body contouring procedures and will use the depth of his expertise and skill in the field to help you achieve the transformative aesthetic outcomes you desire.
How Does Lipo 360 Work?
The Lipo 360 procedure uses Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL Lipo) to target excess fat cells around the body and remove them. After sedation or general anaesthesia has been administered, specifically-designed vibrating cannulas are placed under the skin of the target areas to eliminate pockets of fat.
Whereas a traditional liposuction treatment may only target one area, Lipo 360 helps to facilitate the aesthetic transformation of whole sections of the body by removing excess fat from multiple target sites in one treatment.
Benefits of Lipo 360
- Targets multiple areas – The most important benefit of Lipo 360 is that it tackles problem pockets of fat in many areas around the body.
- Short downtime – Time to rest and recuperate after Lipo 360 is important, but patients should be back at work within a week or less.
- Significant impact – The transformative effects of Lipo 360 are evident immediately after the surgery, and its impact should be long-lasting, provided that your surgeons’ after-care instructions are followed.
Which Areas of The Body Does Lipo 360 Target?
There are many areas around your midriff that Lipo 360 can treat, such as:
- Your upper and lower torso
- Your flanks
- Waistline overhangs – ‘Muffin tops’
- Thighs – ‘Saddlebags’
- Middle and lower back
How Is Lipo 360 Different Than Traditional Liposuction?
Unlike traditional liposuction, Lipo 360 is a more extensive treatment targeting multiple sites around the body. It aims to address various concerns you may have in one procedure, usually requiring turning the patient over to treat their back and their front — hence the ‘360’ element of its name.
Its holistic approach means that Lipo 360 can make dramatic aesthetic improvements, leaving your physique with noticeably better tone and contour without the need to return for multiple surgeries.
Can Lipo 360 Be Paired With Other Cosmetic Treatments?
Many procedures can be combined with Lipo 360, depending on your individual needs and desired body shape. A tummy tuck can be an excellent additional treatment to combine with Lipo 360, as well as a Brazilian Butt Lift or the treatment of gynecomastia (or ‘man boobs’), which can also be perfect accompanying treatments.
The main benefit of combining treatments is that the recovery from the different surgeries will run concurrently, which means overall less time off work and other daily activities.
Who Is A Candidate for Lipo 360?
A Lipo 360 candidate will be a healthy adult with no significant illnesses that might impede the treatment. A BMI of 35 and under is required for the surgery. Provided these criteria are met, anyone who desires to address their concerns about excess pockets of fat is an ideal candidate for the procedure.
