360 Liposuction

Look Better from Every Angle

Most people are familiar with how stubborn fat can be, resisting even the most rigorous of diet and exercise regimens at times. After all the effort a patient puts into weight loss, it can feel almost like a defeat when the body no longer continues to slim down. That is why Dr. Min provides expert 360 liposuction in Beverly Hills, helping patients finally take those final steps toward achieving the body they want.

What Is 360 Liposuction?

For 360 liposuction, the procedure involves an advanced body sculpting technique that creates a more balanced, feminine silhouette. It is often used to address stubborn fat deposits that cannot no longer respond to diet and exercise alone. One of the key features of 360 liposuction is that it can provide a slimmer contour by treating multiple areas at once, each with the others in mind for balanced, refined results. In a single procedure, patients can target stubborn fat in the abdomen, the flanks, and the back. During the same procedure, some may choose to put the removed fat cells into areas to shape areas that could use extra volume, such as the hip dips, buttocks or breasts.

Types of Liposuction

There are several types of liposuction available in Beverly Hills. Some of the most popular include:

Traditional liposuction
Tumescent liposuction
Ultrasound-assisted liposuction
Power-assisted liposuction
Laser-assisted liposuction

Each type of procedure has its unique pros and cons, depending on your specific body shape and goals. While Dr. Min provides several liposuction options for her patients, the most effective and transformative option is 360 liposuction.

Benefits of a Liposuction Procedure

Modern liposuction procedures have advanced significantly in recent years, making them much safer and more effective than ever before. Some of the benefits of opting for a 360 liposuction procedure with Dr. Min, an experienced cosmetic surgeon, may include:

Improved proportion and symmetry
Fewer risks due to the use of modern techniques
Better body contouring results with less downtime
Reduced potential for scarring or other complications
Balanced and refined results

Who Is a Candidate for 360 Liposuction?

In most cases, 360 Liposuction is generally most suitable for patients who are already close to their ideal body shape and weight but have isolated areas of stubborn fat that will not go away no matter how hard they diet or exercise. It is important to remember that liposuction is not a weight loss surgery and provides optimal results for patients who have nearly reached their target goals. Candidates should be healthy adults who do not suffer from current illnesses while also avoiding smoking before and after the surgery.

An Overview of the Procedure

During the procedure, your surgeon will begin by making small incisions in the treatment area, placed in inconspicuous areas out of sight. Next, a thin tube called a cannula is inserted into these incisions to remove fat deposits and sculpt the body shape. The suction created during this process is designed to dissolve and break down fat cells without damaging surrounding tissue structures such as nerves and blood vessels. The goal is to remove fat and let your other bodily tissues remain healthy and intact. For a basic liposuction procedure, patients can expect about one to two hours of duration. However, for combination procedures or for 360 liposuction, the procedure can sometimes be about two to four hours long.

For liposuction, patients can count on being comfortable for the entire duration, due to either local anesthetic to general anesthesia. Type of anesthetic will be one of the choices you can make during your consultation.

After the Surgery: Recovery

After your surgery, you can expect some pain, swelling, bruising, and tenderness in the treatment area, but you can manage these side effects easily with prescribed medications. You may need to wear a compression garment, such as shapewear, for several weeks after the procedure to help reduce swelling and support the newly contoured areas. In terms of downtime, most patients will need to take about two weeks off from work and avoid nearly all physical activity during this time. Dr. Min generally sees her patients during this time for a follow-up appointment, checking their recovery and ensuring their results are turning out as good as possible.

Seeing Your Results from a 360 Liposuction Procedure

Results are usually visible within a few days, but final results may take some time to reach their final appearance. The results of a 360 liposuction procedure are typically long lasting and natural looking, making it one of the most popular body sculpting procedures in Beverly Hills. After your surgery, you should be able to enjoy a more toned, balanced look that will help make you feel confident about your body from any angle. With good care and healthy lifestyle habits, results can be maintained for years, keeping patients looking their best with a contoured and refined appearance.

Combining Liposuction With Other Procedures

Dr. Min may also recommend combining your liposuction procedure with other body sculpting treatments, such as a tummy tuck or breast augmentation. This can help to create more dramatic results and enhance the overall outcome of the procedure while also allowing patients to only have a single period of downtime (as opposed to splitting up the procedures). A comprehensive approach to body contouring can also help to ensure that you achieve natural-looking results while bringing out a more balanced aesthetic that matches your individual ideals and preferences.

FAQ

Is liposuction safe?

You can maximize your procedure safety by working with the right plastic surgeon. Any procedure, including liposuction, carries some risk. However, a skilled surgeon will take all the necessary steps to optimize patient safety. This includes an in-depth consultation to evaluate for any health risks. Furthermore, Dr. Min provides attentive follow-up care to track your recovery and head off any risks before they become problems.

How much fat can liposuction remove?

While liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure, it can still deliver impressive fat reduction. The amount of fat removed will depend on what is safe for the patient and the area(s) treated. Regardless of area, patients rarely have more than 11 pounds (5 kilograms) of fat removed, with the average being 6–11 pounds. Having liposuction in multiple areas at once can result in a larger amount of fat being removed. During your consultation, Dr. Min will go over how much fat will be removed based on your individualized plan.

Will the fat come back?

The fat cells removed are gone. Period. Additionally, you will not develop new fat cells. However, weight changes can still happen. The remaining fat cells can still grow due to lifestyle, dietary, or health-related factors. We recommend adhering to a healthy lifestyle to maintain your new figure following the procedure. Maintaining a stable weight is the best way to get the most out of your new contours.

Does liposuction treat cellulite?

Some patients may see improvements in cellulite following liposuction. However, the cause of cellulite is not fat cells. Instead, it is a combination of several factors, which usually need a different type of treatment to best address. Some patients report reduced visibility of cellulite after liposuction, but it does not address he concern at its root cause.

Will liposuction leave a scar?

Liposuction requires incisions, albeit small ones. Incisions always heal as scars, but your liposuction incisions should be small and hidden. Dr. Min strategically places them and keeps their size to a minimum to reduce visibility. Furthermore, good aftercare while recovering can promote better scar healing. Dr. Min equips all her patients with key steps to take that can help any incisions heal smoothly. Over time, any scars should also fade, further reducing visibility. In the end, your results will take center stage, with any scars only minor pieces in the background.

How much does liposuction cost?

The cost of liposuction will depend on the techniques, areas treated, and extent of the procedure. The price can also vary if you combine liposuction with another procedure, which is very common. Dr. Min builds a tailored treatment plan for each patient and provides a personalized quote before you commit to surgery. She goes through this quote with each patient, breaking down the cost elements to paint a clear picture. We also provide several ways to finance your liposuction. These flexible payment plans take the hassle out of paying for your procedure.
