Lipo 360 gets its name from the way it’s designed to treat the midsection from multiple angles, addressing the abdomen, waist, flanks, and back to create a smoother contour around the entire torso. By refining these interconnected areas simultaneously, Lipo 360 can produce a more balanced silhouette than treating only the front of the abdomen.
Planning Your Treatment With Dr. Hadaegh
At Aesthetic Plastic Surgery North Shore, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Anoush Hadaegh helps patients from Beverly, the North Shore, the greater Boston area, southern New Hampshire, and southern Maine determine the most effective approach to body contouring. During your consultation, he will evaluate your anatomy, fat distribution, skin quality, and aesthetic goals before deciding whether Lipo 360 or another liposuction technique is the best fit for creating balanced, natural-looking results.
How Is Lipo 360 Different From Standard Liposuction?
Standard liposuction often focuses on one or two specific areas, such as the lower abdomen, thighs, arms, or chin. That method can work well when the concern is truly localized. However, treating only the abdomen may leave fullness along the flanks or lower back, limiting how much the waistline changes when viewed from the side or behind.
Lipo 360 takes a broader approach by treating the torso as one continuous unit. The goal is not simply to make one part smaller, but to improve the overall shape of the midsection from every angle.
Is Lipo 360 Right for Me?
Lipo 360 may be worth considering if you are bothered by stubborn fat around several parts of your midsection despite maintaining healthy habits. Many candidates are close to a stable body weight but notice that the abdomen, flanks, and back do not respond evenly to diet and exercise.
It’s also important to understand that liposuction removes fat but does not provide the same degree of skin tightening as procedures designed for that purpose. If significant abdominal skin laxity or muscle separation are present, a tummy tuck may be a more appropriate or a complementary option.
Good overall health and the ability to follow recovery instructions are also important considerations. Nicotine consumption will need to be discontinued before and after surgery because it can interfere with healing.
Can Lipo 360 Be Combined With Other Procedures Besides a Tummy Tuck?
Yes. Lipo 360 is frequently combined with other body plastic surgery techniques to create even more comprehensive results. One of the most common pairings is with a Brazilian butt lift (BBL), which uses the fat removed during liposuction to enhance the shape and projection of the buttocks. Depending on your anatomy and goals, Dr. Hadaegh might also recommend combining Lipo 360 with procedures like an arm lift, thigh lift, or breast surgery, allowing multiple issues to be addressed during a single operation and recovery period.
