360 Liposuction in Manchester

Lipo 360 treats your whole midsection in one procedure, and each treatment plan is tailored to the shape you want to achieve.

1. Consultation: you meet your patient coordinator and surgeon face to face to talk about your goals and medical history, and to check if the procedure is right for you.

2. Anaesthetic: the procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic or sedation.

3. Tumescent solution: a tumescent solution is introduced into the treatment area to firm the tissue and reduce bleeding.

4. Small incisions: your surgeon makes small, discreet incisions.

5. Fat removal: a slim tube called a cannula is used to loosen and remove the fat. Depending on your needs, your surgeon may use Vaser liposuction, which loosens fat with ultrasound before it is removed, or power-assisted liposuction.

Because 360 liposuction treats the area as a whole, fat can be removed from the hips and love handles as well as the abdomen. This creates a smoother, more even contour and a more defined waist.

The fat that is removed can be discarded, or purified and used in a fat transfer procedure elsewhere on the body, such as the cheeks or breasts.

The primary difference between liposuction and 360 lipo is that the latter targets the entire midsection in one procedure. It offers patients a more comprehensive range of options to achieve a balanced body with that enviable contour.

Lipo 360 targets:

• Upper and lower abdominals
• Flanks
• Hips
• Lower and mid-back

These areas include the abdomen flanks and back, treated circumferentially for balanced contouring rather than full body liposuction.

Lipo 360 can be combined with the Mummy Makeover and Tummy Tuck procedure to rejuvenate the specific areas of the body (breasts and stomach) most affected by pregnancy and motherhood. It may also be paired with a body lift or back lifts after significant weight loss, depending on skin quality.

It’s possible that you’ll see an immediate difference in the very first week of the recovery period, although swelling will affect how defined things look at first. Results will become more apparent after 6 weeks, and over the next few weeks your shape should keep refining; because 360 liposuction treats a broader area, full recovery is generally longer, with the final result usually seen in 2-3 months.

The exact surgery time for 360 Liposuction varies from person to person, depending on the amount of fat to remove and the area/s being targeted. As a general rule, Lipo 360 may take anywhere between 1 and 3 hours, and up to 5 litres of fat may be removed in one session depending on your treatment plan. This refers to the time of the actual surgical procedure.

Preoperative and postoperative procedures may require additional time, depending on your chosen clinic’s protocols. Your surgeon will communicate the surgery time to you before the day of surgery. Most patients go home the same day or within a few hours.

360 Liposuction is still a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure, but you must follow the proper protocols as in any operative procedure. You can walk right after surgery and shower in the next 24 hours, though the recovery period is generally longer than with smaller-area liposuction because multiple areas are addressed at once.

Here is a breakdown of what to expect after Lipo 360.

Week 1-2

After the procedure, the affected area will be wrapped in a compression garment or bandage to alleviate pain, and swelling and bruising are expected across the treated areas. You might experience fluid drain from the incisions for some days following treatment, and fluid accumulation can also occur because of the larger treatment zone, including seromas in some cases.

This fluid may appear bloody at first. Don’t panic, as this is completely normal. The fluid will clear up after a few days. Wearing your compression garment consistently helps reduces swelling, with use often continuing for 6 weeks post-op as advised.

Week 3-5

The exact recovery time will vary from person to person, but most patients find bruising and tenderness continue to ease during this stage while swelling can still persist. Many take 1-3 weeks off work, light exercise may resume after 2 weeks if cleared by your surgeon, and driving is usually allowed after 3 weeks.

After 6 Weeks

Your swelling and bruising should have subsided significantly, and you may be advised to stop wearing the compression garment completely. You will see 360 Liposuction results during this time, although full recovery is often around 8 weeks and shape changes can continue improving after that.

Follow up appointments and comprehensive aftercare are important, and you should avoid strenuous exercise until your surgeon advises otherwise.

360 Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure focused on body contouring around the torso, both front and back. The aim is for a result which is natural, consistent and confidence-boosting. 360 Liposuction targets the:

• upper and lower abdominals
• flanks
• hips
• lower and mid-back.

Traditional liposuction focuses on fat removal, but 360 Liposuction also ensures a toned, and proportioned body. Regular liposuction performed on just the front can leave the body looking unnatural and inconsistent, neglecting important areas such as the waistline.

By treating the whole circumference rather than the isolated areas traditional liposuction typically targets, circumferential liposuction can create a more defined waist curve. 360 Liposuction encompasses the whole mid-section of the body, to achieve the best results.

What is unique about this approach is that you can customise your procedure to your body shape, which means the results are centred around you.

The vast majority of 360 Liposuction patients are extremely happy with their results. Like any procedure though, there are certain risks which should be considered before it is undergone. At Manchester Private Hospital, we’ll talk you through the risks before you decide whether or not to proceed.

Risks can occur at three main stages of your procedure: during the surgery, immediately after and during recovery.

Risks during surgery include:

• puncture wounds or injuries to other organs
• anaesthesia complications
• burns from equipment, such as ultrasound probes
• nerve damage
• shock
• death.

Risks immediately after surgery

The risks after the procedure include:

• blood clot in the lungs
• too much fluid in the lungs
• fat clots
• infections
• hematoma (bleeding under the skin)
• seroma (fluid leaking under the skin)
• edema (swelling)
• skin necrosis (the death of skin cells)
• reactions to anaesthesia and other medications
• heart and kidney problems.
• death

Risks during recovery

The risks during recovery include, with skin irregularities more likely if too much fat is removed or skin elasticity is poor:

• problems with the shape or contours of the body
• wavy, dimpled, or bumpy skin
• numbness, bruising, pain, swelling, and soreness
• infections
• fluid imbalances
• scars
• changes in skin sensation and feeling
• skin colour changes
• problems with healing

Liposuction is a relatively straightforward procedure, with a low risk of adverse side effects. However, common side effects of Lipo 360 can include:

• bruising and swelling (which may last up to six months)
• numbness (which should go away in six to eight weeks)
• scars
• inflammation of the treated area, or the veins underneath
• fluid coming from the incisions
• swollen ankles (if the legs or ankles are treated).

You will see an immediate difference in the very first week after Lipo 360. Results will become more apparent after 6 weeks, as much of the swelling will have subsided by then. Expect complete results, i.e., a well-shaped body with lesser fat in problem areas within 3 months after the surgical procedure. The fat cells removed from treated areas are permanently removed and do not grow back.

The quest for a toned, well-contoured body is now one 360 Lipo treatment away. This safe and effective procedure boasts quick results with minimal downtime and risks.

Opt for a reliable cosmetic surgery clinic in the UK to ensure they have the experience and post-operative care to ensure the best results with the safety you need. If you gain weight later, remaining fat cells can still expand, so maintaining a healthy diet and stable body weight helps preserve the result.
