What Is Lipo 360?

Lipo 360, also known as 360-degree liposuction, is a comprehensive body sculpting procedure that targets multiple body areas to create  a more balanced and proportionate silhouette. Unlike traditional liposuction or other body contouring procedures, which typically focus on specific, isolated areas, Lipo 360 takes a more holistic approach, addressing the entire midsection of the body — front, sides, and back.

Areas of the Body Targeted by Lipo 360

Lipo 360 can be tailored to include other areas based on individual needs and preferences. By addressing these key areas, Lipo 360 delivers remarkable results, enhancing the overall contours of the body and helping individuals achieve their desired aesthetic goals. The key regions targeted by Lipo 360 include:

Abdomen

Targeting the upper and lower abdomen aims to create a flatter and firmer midsection, effectively reducing excess fat and unveiling a smoother, more toned appearance.

Waist

Often referred to as “love handles” or “flanks,” the waist is another key target of Lipo 360. The procedure can effectively reduce stubborn fat deposits along your sides, wrapping around the lower third of your back, and enhancing the body’s natural contours.

Lower Back

By targeting the lower back, Lipo 360 helps to create a more streamlined silhouette, which can significantly enhance the appearance of your butt by removing fat just above it along the midline of the lower third of your back.

Back Bra Rolls

By targeting the back bra rolls, Lipo 360 can significantly reduce the area of the middle third of your back and enhance the appearance of both the back and bra area.

Upper Back

Lipo 360 can also remove fat deposits in the upper back area, reducing the appearance of fat in the upper third of your back and contributing to a more sleek and toned back profile.

Hips

The hip area is another critical target for Lipo 360. Liposuction removes fat cells below the waist and above the hip dips wrapping around your sides just above your butt. This can help create a more balanced and proportional hour-glass physique.

Our Lipo 360 – Silhouetch℠ Procedure

At Illuum Cosmetic Surgery, we take pride in our unique blend of the Lipo 360 procedure with the advanced Silhouetch℠ technique. This innovative combination ensures precise body contouring with superior results and minimized recovery time.

Pre-Procedure Consultation

Before the procedure, we conduct an in-depth consultation to understand your aesthetic goals, assess your health status, and evaluate your suitability for the Lipo 360 – Silhouetch℠ Procedure. This session allows us to create a tailored treatment plan that aligns with your needs.

Preparation for the Liposuction Procedure

Preparing for your Lipo 360 procedure involves key steps: adhering to preoperative care instructions, which may include modifying medication and ceasing smoking; following dietary advice to optimize nutrition and reduce inflammation; and adjusting daily routines to accommodate for the surgery, such as limiting strenuous activity and arranging post-procedure assistance. Specific guidance will be personalized to your health status and the procedure details, ensuring you are well-prepared and comfortable.

Lipo 360 Procedure

We expertly perform the Lipo 360 procedure, ensuring patient comfort with the aid of local (awake) or general (asleep) anesthesia. We start by creating small, discreet incisions in the designated areas, wherein a thin tube is inserted to gently dislodge and suction out the unwanted fat cells. The Silhouetch℠ technique is then applied, which offers enhanced precision in sculpting and contouring the body. The holistic nature of Lipo 360 ensures the entire midsection is treated, resulting in a balanced, harmonious silhouette.

Throughout the procedure, our primary focus is to ensure patient comfort and satisfaction, promising an outcome that boosts your physical appearance and self-confidence. The powerful combination of Lipo 360 and Silhouetch℠ results in a more contoured and well-proportioned physique, leaving patients with a remarkable transformation.

Upper Eyelids

Upper blepharoplasty addresses concerns related to the upper eyelid, such as drooping lids, sagging skin, and excess fat. It involves an incision along the eyelid’s natural crease to remove or reposition fat, tighten muscles, and eliminate excess skin.

Pre-Procedure Consultation

Before the procedure, we conduct an in-depth consultation to understand your aesthetic goals, assess your health status, and evaluate your suitability for the Lipo 360 – S ilhouetch℠ Procedure. This session allows us to create a tailored treatment plan that aligns with your needs.

Recovery, Aftercare, and Results

Recovering from Lipo 360 involve wearing a compression garment for 23 hours a day for one month, followed by 12 hours a day for two months, then 12 hours a day for another 3 months if needed. By the fourth week, you can return to cardio exercise, and by the sixth-week post-op, you can return to heavy lifting and strenuous exercise. You should do lymphatic massages for 30 minutes daily for the first month. You should also plan to take off 3 days from work for recovery.

There will be an increase in swelling immediately after surgery for the first few days. The swelling will gradually resolve, and by four to six weeks post-op, you will start to see your final result. By three to six months, you can see your final result when the swelling has completely resolved. We recommend maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a good diet and exercise.

Tips for Maintaining the Results

Once you’ve fully recovered and the new contours of your body have emerged, you’ll want to maintain those results. Here are some tips to help ensure the longevity of your Lipo 360 results:

To preserve your results, it’s essential to maintain a stable weight by following a well-balanced diet and engaging in consistent physical activity, as significant weight fluctuations can affect your outcome by enlarging the remaining fat cells.

Keep up with your post-procedure check-ups. This allows your plastic surgeon to track your progress and address any concerns that may arise.

Drinking plenty of water aids in digestion, keeps your skin looking its best, and helps maintain overall body health.

Nourishing your body with a well-rounded diet consisting of wholesome foods such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and proteins can support weight maintenance and promote overall health while steering clear of processed foods, excessive sugar, and unhealthy fats.

Sustaining your Lipo 360 results relies on regular physical activity. Strive for a well-rounded exercise regimen that encompasses at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week, incorporating a blend of cardio, strength training, and flexibility exercises for a comprehensive and balanced approach.

Ideal Candidates for Lipo 360

The ideal candidates to undergo liposuction are individuals who desire a comprehensive transformation of their midsection with localized areas of stubborn fat in the abdomen, waist (flank or love handles), back bra rolls, upper back, hips, and lower back. Ideal candidates should be in excellent overall health, close to their ideal body weight, and have realistic expectations. If you have yet to achieve your desired body contours through traditional methods, our plastic surgeon can provide a thorough consultation to determine if Lipo 360 is the right procedure for you, taking into account your specific goals and medical considerations.

What Is the Cost of Lipo 360 in Michigan?

The cost of Lipo 360 in Michigan typically falls within the range of $3,000 to $10,000 or potentially higher. This price range covers the expenses associated with the surgical procedure itself. However, it’s important to note that additional costs for anesthesia, operating room facilities, and related charges are typically not included in this estimate.

The Benefits of
Choosing Lipo 360

Lipo 360 offers many benefits to individuals seeking to sculpt their physiques and boost their self-confidence. Lipo 360 provides a transformative experience that goes beyond traditional liposuction by targeting multiple areas of stubborn fat in a single procedure. Here are some key benefits of choosing Lipo 360:

Full-Body Contouring

Lipo 360 approaches body contouring from a comprehensive, all-angle perspective. This procedure is designed to target multiple areas simultaneously — including the abdomen, waist, back bra rolls, upper back, hips, and lower back, and sometimes extending to arms, thighs, and chin — allowing for a more harmonized and balanced result.

Long-Lasting Results

The results of Lipo 360 are designed to be long-lasting. Once fat cells are removed from an area, they do not regenerate. However, remaining fat cells can still enlarge with weight gain, so maintaining a stable weight through a balanced diet and exercise is critical to preserving your results.

Enhanced Body Shape

The goal of a Lipo 360 procedure is to improve your overall body shape, providing a more sculpted, toned, and proportionate appearance. Lipo 360 enhances your body’s natural curves and contours by removing fat from targeted areas.

Minimally Invasive

While Lipo 360 is a surgical procedure, it’s considered minimally invasive. The small incisions typically lead to less post-operative discomfort, reduced scarring, and a quicker healing process compared to more invasive procedures.

Quick Recovery

One of the most appealing aspects of Lipo 360 is the relatively short recovery period. Most patients can return to work and light activities within three days post-procedure. However, full recovery time can vary based on the extent of the procedure and individual healing processes.

Increased Self-Confidence

Lipo 360 offers a remarkable advantage by enhancing body contours and instilling a profound sense of self-confidence as individuals embrace their improved, natural silhouette, ultimately fostering greater comfort and assurance in their skin.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Will there be visible scarring after Lipo 360?

Lipo 360 involves small incisions that are strategically placed to minimize visible scarring. With proper wound care and time, the incision scars typically fade and become less noticeable, resulting in minimal visible scarring.

Will there be visible scarring after Lipo 360?

Can Lipo 360 help me lose weight?

Lipo 360 is not intended for weight loss but rather for body contouring. While a few pounds may be lost due to fat removal, the primary goal of Lipo 360 is to sculpt and reshape specific areas of the body rather than achieve weight loss.

Can Lipo 360 be combined with other body contouring procedures?

Yes, Lipo 360 can be seamlessly combined with other body contouring procedures to achieve comprehensive results and enhance overall body contour. Popular combination procedures include Brazilian Butt Lift, breast augmentation, and tummy tuck, among others. Combining procedures can provide more transformative outcomes and minimize overall downtime, but the suitability of combination surgery depends on individual factors and should be discussed with your plastic surgeon.
