What Is Lipo 360: Candidacy, Areas Included, Recovery, And More

Many patients wonder, “What exactly is lipo 360?” Lipo 360 is a great procedure if you want to fully sculpt your body from front to back by removing stubborn areas of fat that are resistant to diet and exercise. This procedure is a package of four liposuction areas that are shown to have the biggest effect on your body and combine for maximum impact.

What Areas Are Included In Lipo 360?

At our practice, we combine these four areas in our lipo 360 package:

• Upper abdomen

• Lower abdomen

• Back bra roll

• Waist

Who Is A Good Candidate For Lipo 360?

To be a candidate, you must have good skin elasticity and know that liposuction cannot address cellulite or tighten loose skin. Lastly, its important that you’re at a stable weight and physically healthy with no medical conditions that impair healing.

How Much Fat Can Be Removed With Lipo 360?

Florida regulations limit plastic surgeons to a maximum of 4 liters of fat removal during liposuction which is roughly 8-9 pounds. Depending on which state your preferred plastic surgeon operates in, the maximum limit may vary.

How Long Does Lipo 360 Surgery Take?

The exact length of time will depend on your BMI and how much fat will be removed, but lipo 360 will typically last between 2.5 to 3.5 hours.

Can Lipo 360 Be Performed While You’re Awake?

Yes, we can perform lipo 360 under local anesthesia! Patients will be given a cocktail of medicine to ensure they are comfortable throughout the process.

How Long Does It Take To Heal From Lipo 360?

Patients will typically require about one week off from work. You will need to take it easy for about 4 weeks after undergoing lipo 360 which means no exercising or lifting anything over 5 pounds.
