What Is Lipo 360 and Is It Right for You?
Lipo 360 is a term that refers to liposuction around the entire torso, helping to contour the
abdomen, back, and flanks for a more sculpted, hourglass shape.
What Areas Does Lipo 360 Target?
- Abdomen – Removes excess fat from the front of the midsection.
- Flanks (Love Handles) – Slims the sides for a more defined waist.
- Back – Eliminates stubborn fat deposits to enhance overall body contour.
How Is Lipo 360 Performed?
Lipo 360 is not a special type of liposuction—it’s simply liposuction applied to multiple areas
for full-torso contouring. Various techniques can be used, including:
- VASER Liposuction – Uses ultrasound energy to break down fat for smoother results.
- Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL) – Uses rapid vibrations to loosen fat, making removal more efficient.
- Traditional Liposuction – A time-tested technique to remove unwanted fat through small incisions.
Do You Need a Tummy Tuck Instead?
While Lipo 360 can enhance body shape by removing fat, it does not address loose or sagging skin.
If you’ve had pregnancies or significant weight loss, you may also need a tummy tuck to remove excess skin and tighten abdominal muscles.
A consultation with a plastic surgeon can determine whether Lipo 360 alone or a combination of liposuction and a tummy tuck will give you the best results.
Is Lipo 360 Right for You?
The best way to find out if Lipo 360 is the right procedure for your body goals is through a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon.
