360 Liposuction

360 Liposuction, also known as 360 Lipo is a surgical body contouring procedure that uses Liposuction to remove excess fat from the circumference of the torso – the abdomen, flanks and back, a common area of concern for many people. The term ‘360’ is derived from ‘360 degrees’ and is used to describe the way the areas of the body involved make a circle around the body. Many patients are interested in what is Lipo 360, as it treats an area that many people are concerned about. 

360 Lipo leave the torso looking more defined and contoured with a flatter abdomen, back and flanks. The surgeon will make small incisions in the areas that are being treated and will insert a cannula. Depending on the type of Liposuction being used, the fat will be broken down using physical movement, pressurised water, or laser before being extracted from the body. The incisions are then sealed with stitches. 

360 Lipo can be carried out as a standalone procedure (for example undertaking 360 Lipo without Tummy Tuck) or in combination with other procedures such as Fat Transfer. Many patients opt to undertake a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) alongside Lipo 360, as the overall results are enhanced. It is carried out under general anaesthetic and takes 1-2 hours to complete. 

360 Lipo is different to other Liposuction treatments as it is a specific set of areas being treated for an enhanced result in one area of the body – the torso.

Liposuction can be performed all over the body, however areas are usually isolated such as Liposuction to the Legs or Arms. The areas of the torso involved in Lipo360 can be treated independently, however by treating them together as one procedure, the final result is enhanced. 

Following 360 Liposuction, patients see and feel a number of benefits:

• Increased confidence – Excess fat around the mid-portion of the body can cause a drop in confidence for many people, leaving them unhappy with their appearance. By having Liposuction 360 and being able to wear clothes they feel confident in or take part in activities they didn’t feel able to before, their confidence and quality of life increases. 
• Improved body proportions – Having stubborn pockets of fat around the abdomen, flanks and back can create an unbalanced appearance to the body. 360 Lipo will improve the proportions of the body creating a more balanced appearance. 
• A smooth and contoured appearance – 360 Liposuction will smooth out any unwanted lumps and bumps around the flanks, abdomen and back, such as love handles. This results in a flattering, contoured mid-section of the body. 

Many people are concerned about the appearance of fat around their mid-portion. Excess fat around the abdomen, flanks and back can appear unsightly and make people feel self-conscious about wearing certain clothing or taking part in activities such as sport or swimming.

Lipo 360 will remove this stubborn excess fat and contour the abdomen, flanks and back resulting in a smoother and more proportionate body shape. This allows people to wear clothing that they feel comfortable in and take part in activities that they may have felt unable to otherwise.
