Liposuction 360, also known as “Lipo 360”, is a popular cosmetic surgery that uses several fat-removal sites to sculpt and contour the body. Liposuction targets and is intended to target and eliminate extra fat. Lipo 360 offers a 360-degree approach to torso sculpting by addressing the abdomen, love handles, waistline, flanks, and lower back. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Solomon Azouz performs lipo 360 in Dallas to help achieve a more defined waistline and overall improved physique for a harmonic and balanced appearance.

Candidates for Lipo 360

People who suffer from stubborn fat deposits around their torso, including the abdomen, upper back, lower back, love handles, flanks, waist, and buttocks, are good candidates for surgery. During your consultation, Dr. Azouz will review your medical history and may give recommendations to maintain a healthy lifestyle that improves the results of surgery and liposuction.

How is Lipo 360 performed?

The goal of Lipo 360 is to sculpt your physique by methodically eliminating fat from various areas of your midsection. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Azouz makes small incisions in specific locations, such as the flanks, back, abdomen, and occasionally the hips and buttocks. These incisions are hidden in the natural contours of the body to help minimize scarring. Thin tubes, known as cannulas, are inserted through the incisions. Dr. Azouz has customized his cannulas to allow for more precise liposuction and achieve natural results. The fat cells are loosened using a tumescent fluid and then suctioned out through the cannula. The incisions are meticulously closed with stitches and dressed well with compression. Dr. Azouz avoids using drains in plastic surgery to improve postoperative care and therefore has specialized techniques to decrease bruising and swelling after surgery.

Anesthesia used for Lipo 360

Liposuction 360 is done under sedation combined with regional and local anesthetics to guarantee the patient’s comfort and safety during the process. This helps with comfort and lessens pain during and after the procedure. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Azouz works with his anesthesiology team to avoid using general anesthesia for a quicker recovery and decreased postoperative nausea.

What are the risks of 360 liposuction?

Although liposuction 360 is considered a safe operation, it’s important to be aware of any possible risks, such as infection, bruising, seromas, numbness, and asymmetry. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Azouz has many years of experience with liposuction and uses customized cannulas with his techniques. During your consultation, Dr. Azouz will discuss the precise techniques he uses to minimize the risks of surgery.

Recovering after lipo 360

Although recovery from liposuction 360 differs from person to person, most patients can anticipate some discomfort, bruising, and swelling in the treated areas. These side effects can be managed with prescribed medications and compression garments. After a few days, patients can typically resume light activities. Over a few weeks, more demanding tasks can be introduced gradually. Dr. Azouz’s post-operative regimen must be followed to ensure quick recovery and the best possible outcomes.

Lipo 360 and BBL

For a more complete makeover, combining Lipo 360 with other cosmetic procedures might improve outcomes even further and address specific concerns. Typical combined surgeries include:

• Brazilian butt lifts (BBL)
• Tummy tucks (abdominoplasty)
• Breast augmentation
• Breast reduction

How much does Lipo 360 cost?

The price of a Liposuction 360 operation varies based on many factors, including surgery costs, anesthetic costs, and facility fees. During a consultation, Dr. Azouz will provide a cost estimate and go over payment options for 360 liposuction in Dallas.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do the results of Lipo 360 last?

As long as patients maintain an appropriate weight and live a healthy lifestyle, Lipo 360's effects are long-lasting. Even when fat cells are completely removed from treated locations, residual fat cells may still grow due to weight gain, which could compromise the outcome. For many years to come, 360 liposuction benefits can be sustained with a good diet and exercise routine.

Is 360 lipo a weight loss procedure?

No, Lipo 360 is not a weight loss procedure. This body contouring procedure aims to shape the midsection for better definition and contours by eliminating specific pockets of fat that just won't go away. Before having Lipo 360, candidates should be at or near their optimum weight.

Will Lipo 360 tighten loose skin?

Although Lipo 360 is not intended to tighten loose skin, it can enhance body shapes and lessen the appearance of moderate skin laxity. To get the best results, patients with considerable skin laxity might need to have additional surgeries, such as a body lift after weight loss.

Is there an age limit for undergoing Lipo 360?

Since candidacy for Lipo 360 is assessed on an individual basis, there is no set age limit. Dr. Azouz evaluates each patient in the initial consultation to ensure safety and suitability for surgery.

Can I undergo liposuction 360 if I've had previous abdominal surgeries?

A candidate's eligibility for Lipo 360 may be impacted by prior abdominal procedures, based on things like scar tissue formation and surgical history. During the consultation, Dr. Azouz will evaluate each patient's anatomy and medical history to determine whether Lipo 360 is a good fit or whether other treatments might be advised.
