Lipo 360
Stubborn belly fat can be extremely resistant to dieting and exercise, often leaving men and women with a hanging midsection — this is commonly referred to as either a “potbelly,” “beerbelly,” or “spare tire,” but all of these names generally refer to the same look of protruding, excess fullness in the torso. Whereas a general liposuction procedure typically treats one area at a time, Lipo 360 offers a modern and more comprehensive take on traditional techniques by removing fat from around the entire torso in a 360-degree fashion. Also known as circumferential liposuction, Lipo 360 can slim a hanging belly, as well as smooth bulges like “love handles,” “muffin tops,” and extra fat in the waistline.
What is Lipo 360?
Lipo 360 is a cutting-edge liposuction procedure offered by our Minneapolis plastic surgeon that removes fat from the front, sides, and back of the midsection, creating a stunning 360-degree improvement. Areas treated typically include the upper and lower abdomen, flanks, obliques, mid-back, and lower back depending on your concerns and the regions of excess fat buildup. After Lipo 360, patients enjoy a more athletic and sculpted physique with smoother, more defined body contours.
Is Lipo 360 Right for Me?
Good candidates for body contouring surgery are usually healthy with no uncontrolled medical conditions that may interfere with the recovery period. Lipo 360 can be an excellent choice for patients who:
- Are wanting to remove fat from their entire torso in one procedure
- Want to incorporate liposuction into their Mommy Makeover
- Desire an “hourglass” figure
- Have not achieved their ideal results with dieting and exercise
Realistic expectations for the final results are key to your satisfaction after the procedure, and Dr. Gryskiewicz will go over every aspect of your surgery in person at your initial consultation.
How is the Lipo 360 Procedure Performed?
During the outpatient procedure, a narrow cannula is used to extract fat from the planned treatment areas around the torso. Tiny incisions are made in discreet folds and contours of the body whenever possible, minimizing the amount of noticeable scarring after Lipo 360. Once the desired results are achieved, patients are able to recover from the comfort of their own home. Dr. Gryskiewicz will walk you through every stage of surgery at the time of your consultation.
What is Recovery From Lipo 360 Like?
Liposuction is less invasive than other cosmetic surgeries, allowing a shorter period of downtime than procedures like a tummy tuck or breast lift. Men and women also report that the recovery period after Lipo 360 is very tolerable After the first week, patients are often able to return to non-strenuous work — some individuals even feel strong enough to resume their daily schedule after a few days. However, aerobic exercise and working out are to be avoided for at least three weeks, or until Dr. Gryskiewicz instructs otherwise.
