Stubborn fat can be frustrating, especially when diet and exercise fail to deliver the sculpted look you desire. If you have excess fat around your entire middle section, you could benefit from a specialized liposuction procedure called Liposuction 360. In this procedure, your plastic surgeon targets multiple regions of your midsection, including the abdomen, waist, hips, and lower and mid back.
If you are interested in Liposuction 360 in Houston, contact Dr. Deigni and the medical team at Deigni Plastic Surgery. We can discuss the various liposuction options and determine which one will be best able to help you achieve your body goals.
Liposuction is a procedure in which your surgeon removes fat cells from your body by making small incisions to insert a tube into the fat layer to loosen, liquefy, and vacuum the fat from your body. Liposuction 360 is a more modern approach that can sculpt an entire region (the midsection) rather than simply focusing on one area by itself, such as the abdomen or back.
The benefit of a region-focused procedure over traditional liposuction on a single body part is that it may create more natural proportions that are closer to what you have in mind when you envision your ideal figure.
Liposuction 360 is not a brand name but rather a more specific and intensive version of the procedure. If you are looking to get Lipo 360 in Houston, you should be sure that Dr. Deigni understands the areas you wish to include in the procedure, as it can vary from person to person, depending on their body type. At Deigni Plastic Surgery, you will have a one-on-one meeting with Dr. Deigni to ensure that he understands your goals for getting this body sculpting surgery.
Individuals in overall good health and who do not smoke are generally the best candidates for this procedure. As with most surgical procedures, certain medical conditions or medications can increase the risk of complications during recovery.
Dr. Deigni and his team will discuss these and any other considerations with you during your consultation. Additionally, the ideal candidate has taken the time to learn about liposuction and has realistic expectations for the results they may achieve.
Preparing for a Liposuction 360 procedure in Houston involves similar steps to traditional liposuction, but you should be mindful that the procedure is more extensive. During your consultation, Dr. Deigni will evaluate your concerns and recommend a personalized plan that targets multiple areas. Key steps to prepare include:
Ensuring you are a good candidate for surgery by reviewing medical history, any existing conditions, and medications.
You should stop smoking, reduce your alcohol consumption, and maintain a healthy diet – all these can improve your body’s capacity to heal.
While Liposuction 360 is an excellent sculpting tool, it is not a weight-loss procedure. You should stay close to your goal weight, which in turn will help maintain more stable results post-surgery.
Make sure to arrange for someone to drive you home and assist you for a few days after your procedure can make the recovery process easier.
Following these guidelines sets a strong foundation for both a successful surgery and a smooth recovery.
On the day of your Liposuction 360 surgery, you will arrive at our accredited Houston surgical facility, where Dr. Deigni and his team will guide you through each step. Generally, Dr. Deigni first marks the incision line, then you will receive either local or general anesthesia. Dr. Deigni will create small incisions based on the markings around your abdomen, flanks, and lower back to access and remove fat. Dr. Deigni will use a thin tube called a cannula to gently break up and suction out excess fat. He will sculpt each region with care, paying close attention to symmetry and proportionality. Once complete, Dr. Deigni closes the incision sites with sutures or a special adhesive. Throughout the entire procedure, Dr. Deigni employs advanced techniques to reduce your discomfort, minimize scarring, and facilitate a speedy recovery.
While liposuction is a less-invasive procedure than other surgeries, the time you take to recover from your procedure depends on several factors, including your overall health and whether you smoke. Smoking before or after your procedure can lead to complications, including infection of the incision sites and skin necrosis, which is what happens when the tissue dies.
Most people recover quickly from a Liposuction 360 procedure in Houston, experiencing some bruising, swelling, and soreness around the treatment area. You should be able to resume normal activities within a matter of days. Most of the swelling should begin to subside within a week, but we might recommend that you continue wearing your compression garment to reduce swelling and promote healing for several weeks after.
Your surgeon will give you aftercare instructions for the small incisions made in the procedure to help you keep your wounds clean and reduce scarring. If you feel that you look bigger rather than slimmer shortly after the procedure, remember that this is likely due to swelling and is only temporary. You can generally expect to see final results within three to six months of your procedure.
Because Liposuction 360 in Houston permanently removes targeted fat cells, you can enjoy long-term benefits as long as you commit to healthy habits. Since significant weight fluctuations can cause remaining fat cells to expand, you should strive toward keeping a stable weight. In line with that, you can maintain your results by adopting a balanced lifestyle. For instance, if you pair a healthy diet with regular exercise, you can keep your torso defined and enhance your overall well-being. During your initial recovery, you will likely also wear compression garments that will reduce your swelling and promote healing. Finally, good circulation and collagen production are vital to preserving firm skin over the newly contoured areas.
