Liposuction has been the most popular cosmetic procedure for years, and the Lipo 360 technique takes body contouring to another level. Men and women alike love the definition and sculpting this technique offers. This blog will discuss the benefits of Lipo 360 for aesthetics, confidence, wardrobe, and overall quality of life.
What Is Lipo 360?
This procedure has many nicknames—Lipo 360, 360 Lipo, circumferential liposuction, 360-degree liposuction—but all of them refer to the same surgical technique designed to remove unwanted fat from all around the waist.
Standard liposuction is a minimally invasive surgery that involves using a thin, hollow tube called a cannula to suction fat cells from a specific area of the body. While traditional liposuction targets just one area of the body, Lipo 360 addresses the entire midsection, including the front, back, and sides of the torso. This technique yields more aesthetically pleasing results including a flat stomach and a slim, sculpted waistline 360 degrees around.
Dr. Edgar Bedolla specializes in Lipo 360 for both men and women. He prefers this liposuction technique because it aligns with his approach of treating the body as a sculpture for a seamless, natural result.
1. A Balanced Silhouette
One of the primary goals of Lipo 360 for women is to achieve an hourglass figure. This procedure targets the waistline, flanks, and back fat, resulting in a more defined waist. For women who have struggled with stubborn fat in the lower back or love handles, Lipo 360 can transform these trouble spots. Dr. Bedolla uses his expertise to create smooth transitions between the hips and abdomen for the ideal feminine ogee curve.
Men also benefit from the contouring Lipo 360 can achieve. Many men desire a masculine V-shaped torso, where a broader upper body tapers down to a narrower waist. Dr. Bedolla removes fat from the love handles, abdomen, and lower back to create a more athletic, chiseled appearance. This procedure can also be used to enhance muscle definition, making the abs and obliques more visible.
2. Customized Results
Each Lipo 360 procedure is personalized for each patient, according to their aesthetic priorities and individual body type. Dr. Bedolla creates a tailored treatment plan for each patient during the initial consultation. One patient may want a more pronounced hourglass figure, another may want a flatter stomach with abdominal definition, and another may wish for a balanced aesthetic across their torso, arms, and legs—each patient will require different techniques.
Some patients benefit from additional non-surgical skin-tightening treatments like CoolSculpting® and BodyTite® to address loose skin and polish their aesthetic further. Other patients may choose to combine their Lipo 360 procedure with another body contouring surgery like a tummy tuck, Brazilian Butt Lift, or breast augmentation to attain their ideal body shape.
3. Boost in Confidence and Self-Esteem
Lipo 360 goes beyond just removing fat from one or more areas of the body. This technique truly sculpts and contours the body for stunning results. Dr. Bedolla’s artistic eye guides the way he reshapes the body, revealing a more flattering and defined body shape for each individual.
As a result, men and women alike feel much more confident in their everyday lives—in social situations, at the gym, at work, in romantic settings, and beyond. Aesthetic liposuction has a positive impact on patient quality of life, including emotional stability, reduced anxiety, and more. When you look good, you feel good, and life is good!
4. Improved Wardrobe Options
One of the benefits that many Lipo 360 patients are most excited about is the opportunity to refresh their wardrobes with styles that better showcase their new bodies. Many women embrace the opportunity to wear bodycon dresses, high-waisted pants, low-rise jeans, and crop tops, which accentuate their new curves and defined waists. Men also feel more comfortable and confident in attire like tailored shirts, slim-fit trousers, and athletic wear, enjoying the feeling of fitted clothing that highlights their sculpted torso.
The freedom that comes with expanded wardrobe options is something many patients find empowering and one of the thrills to look forward to post-surgery.
5. Long-Lasting Results
One of the most satisfying aspects of Lipo 360 is that the results are long-lasting. As long as the patient maintains a healthy lifestyle, he or she can expect to enjoy their results for years to come.
Once removed, fat cells cannot regenerate. However, weight gain can still occur in remaining fat cells, so a balanced diet and exercise regimen are important. Nevertheless, Lipo 360 is a long-term solution to stubborn fat, allowing patients to attain and sustain their desired physique.
6. Transformation and Faster Recovery
By addressing all angles of the midsection at once, Lipo 360 creates a comprehensive and dramatic result. Moreover, a skilled surgeon can balance the torso with the rest of the body for stunning, natural-looking results.
Additionally, the recovery time is consolidated since the entire waist is addressed during one surgery. Patients can return to their normal routines sooner and enjoy a complete transformation at the same time.
How Much Does Lipo 360 Cost?
Because this procedure is so customizable, the cost of Lipo 360 varies from patient to patient. Various factors affect the price of Lipo 360, including how much fat is removed, combination procedures, anesthesia fees, and more. The best way to learn how much Lipo 360 costs is to schedule a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and treatment options.
