Lipo 360 NYC - Awake Liposculpture Surgery

The main difference between Lipo 360 and traditional liposuction lies in the treatment approach. While traditional liposuction focuses on one area of the body at a time, Lipo 360 targets the entire midsection in one procedure.

Lipo 360 is a more advanced and result-driven option as it can target multiple areas around the midsection, front, back, and sides together, rather than just a single zone. When the full 360-degree circumference of the torso is treated at once, it results in more balanced body contouring.

With this approach, you can look forward to sculpting and contouring several parts of your body together, including:

• Waist
• Abdomen
• Lower and upper back
• Inner and outer thighs
• Love handles
• Buttocks

It helps men and women safely remove unwanted fat that won’t disappear despite rigorous diet, exercise, or lifestyle changes.

One key reason for considering Lipo 360 is the positive impact it can have on your self-esteem and body image. You may rely on shapewear to hide that unsightly, apple shape of your midsection, but it is just a temporary solution, not comfortable, and the effort it takes to put it on just makes you miserable.

With Lipo 360, you can eliminate this stubborn fat from its source. It helps you achieve natural, balanced contours and feel confident without hiding or adjusting your shape.

If any of the following resonate with you, it may be time to see a cosmetic surgeon:

• Are you struggling to find clothes that fit and look good on you?
• Do you avoid going to the beach or pool?
• Do you feel self-conscious during intimate moments?
• Do you avoid looking in the mirror because you don’t like what you see?
• Do you feel less confident about your shape compared to others?
• Are you reluctant to join others in parties or other activities?
• Do you feel that your body does not reflect your true self?

Whatever the reason, you know it’s time for a change. The unique targeted, full-circumference approach of Lipo 360 may just be what you need to refine stubborn areas, enhance your contours, and improve your overall confidence and outlook.

Lipo 360 is a highly effective body contouring option that offers several advantages, including:

• Targets multiple areas of stubborn fat at once for more comprehensive contouring
• Typically completed in a single session
• Provides refined contouring of the entire midsection
• Creates a more balanced, proportional look
• May result in less bruising and swelling compared to traditional liposuction
• Offers long-lasting results when supported by a healthy lifestyle
• One recovery time for multiple treatment areas
• Minimal skin scarring
• Faster recovery when compared to other invasive surgeries

While Lipo 360 is designed to enhance body contours, many patients also experience improved posture, physical comfort, enhanced mobility, and a motivation to maintain a healthy lifestyle after achieving a more proportionate figure.

Lipo 360 may be paired with other procedures to achieve more comprehensive contouring. They may include:

• BL or Brazilian butt lift to enhance the volume and shape of the buttocks while improving overall body proportions
• Abdominoplasty to remove excess skin and tighten abdominal muscles for a finer midsection
• Mommy makeover to restore and reshape the body after pregnancy and breastfeeding

Your cosmetic surgeon will explain how the process works and review the post-op instructions you must follow to achieve the desired benefits of this procedure. With proper care and realistic expectations, you can achieve a body contour that aligns with your personal style.

You may be an ideal candidate for Lipo 360 if:

• You have stubborn pockets of fat around the abdomen, waist, flanks, or lower back that do not seem to budge, no matter how much you diet or workout
• You have good skin elasticity to support smooth, even contouring
• You have reached a stable weight and are close to your ideal body mass index (BMI)
• You enjoy overall good health with no uncontrolled medical conditions
• You are ready to stop smoking prior to surgery and avoid it during the healing process
• You have realistic expectations about body contouring results

Remember, Lipo 360 is designed for body sculpting, not weight loss. If you are committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle and want to refine your shape by targeting stubborn fat, this procedure may be the best option for you.

Your consultation is the first step in creating a treatment plan specific to your body and goals. It will give you clarity, confidence, and a clear understanding of what this procedure can achieve for you.

During your consultation, your surgeon will begin by discussing your aesthetic concerns and the areas you want to improve. You will have the opportunity to explain your goals and expectations so your treatment plan can be aligned with your desired outcomes. Your medical history, current medical medications, and overall health will also be reviewed to ensure you are the right candidate for this surgery.

Once your evaluation is complete, your surgeon will explain:

• The treatment approach they consider most suitable for you
• Techniques that will be used
• Anesthesia options
• Recovery timeline and instructions
• Potential risk and realistic outcomes

You will also receive a personalized treatment plan and detailed pricing information

Ask questions and address any concerns you may have during your consultation. You can also bring photos or a list of points you want to discuss with the surgeon. The goal of this session is to ensure you feel fully informed, comfortable, and confident in making the decision that is right for you.

Lipo 360 is a technique, not a particular type of equipment. Your surgeon may use any of the tools used in other liposuction procedures, such as:

• Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL) – PAL uses a special cannula that moves through high-frequency micro-vibrations, allowing for precise fat removal with less physical force. This technique improves accuracy in fibrous areas such as the flanks and lower back while minimizing tissue trauma.
• VASER® Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction – VASER® uses controlled ultrasound energy to break down fat cells while preserving surrounding connective tissues, nerves, and blood vessels. This precision supports smoother contours, better skin tightening, and reduced post-operative inflammation compared to traditional mechanical liposuction.
• RFAL (Radio Frequency-Assisted Lipolysis) – RFAL uses radiofrequency energy to liquefy and remove fat while tightening the skin, enhancing post-operative contour and smoothness.

While the equipment used by your surgeon may vary, the procedure is generally the same. During Lipo 360 surgery, your body is carefully repositioned throughout the process to ensure fat removal from multiple areas around the torso. Your surgeon explains each step of the process in advance so you know exactly what to expect.

• Your surgeon will mark the areas of the body from where they plan to remove excess fat. They will do this while you are standing up.
• After marking, you will be prepared for surgery, and anesthesia will be administered.
• Small incisions will be made in discreet locations around your midsection.
• Tumescent fluid is carefully infused into the targeted fat. It helps the fat cells swell and firm, making them easier and safer to remove. It also keeps bleeding and post-surgical pain down.
• A cannula is inserted through the incisions. The surgeon uses this cannula to loosen and suction out excess fat around the entire torso, including the abdomen, waist, flanks, and back.
• The incisions will be closed, and you will be shifted to the recovery room, where you will be monitored as the anesthesia gradually wears off.

Your surgeon will continuously monitor your vital signs and make sure everything proceeds smoothly to achieve the best possible results.

You can help ensure a smoother, shorter recovery by following these precautions:

• Waiting 24 hours after surgery to shower
• Caring for your incisions as instructed by your surgeon
• Taking at least a couple of weeks off from work for recovery, and even longer if your job requires strenuous activity
• Taking all your prescribed medication exactly as directed by your doctor
• Avoiding direct exposure to sunlight for two to three weeks
• Staying away from smoking and nicotine products for week two post-surgery
• Avoiding alcohol during the recovery period and while taking prescribed medicine
• Resuming moderate movement after the procedure as directed by your doctor

As with any surgery, some level of pain and discomfort is normal, but it can be effectively managed with medication. Call your doctor’s office if your pain is severe or persistent, or accompanied by unusual symptoms.

Often referred to as LDM, lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle, specialized massage technique that stimulates the lymphatic system and supports the body’s natural healing process after Lipo 360. The target areas are gently massaged to slowly release excess lymph fluids.

Benefits of LDM include:

• It can reduce swelling and inflammation
• It helps treat the area without increasing blood circulation
• It is safe, pain-free, and non-invasive
• It helps ensure the best possible outcomes for Lipo 360

Doctors usually recommend LDM treatment within 24 hours after surgery. You should schedule 10 to 15 sessions to ensure the desired results. Following your surgeon’s recommended treatment plan can help optimize surgical outcomes and enhance the overall appearance of your abdomen.

As each Lipo 360 procedure is customized to achieve your ideal body contours, pricing will vary based on your specific treatment plan.

Multiple factors impact your final cost, including:

• The surgeon’s expertise
• Facility fees
• The number of areas treated
• The size of the areas treated
• Your type of skin
• The amount of fat being removed
• The type of equipment used
• The type of anesthesia required
• Your medical history

Most cosmetic surgery is elective and has to be paid out of pocket. However, there are some exceptions if your health professional confirms it’s a medical necessity. In such cases, your insurance provider may cover part or all of the procedure cost if surgery helps manage a chronic illness or prevent a medical condition.

At Millennial Plastic Surgery, we understand paying a large amount upfront can be challenging. To make your experience more manageable, we offer flexible payment plans and third-party financing options to make your dream body affordable.
