One of the many benefits you will experience after Lipo360 is weight loss; however, it is important to understand that it is not designed as a weight loss procedure. Most patients lose between two and five pounds of fat, depending on the amount removed and their body type. The true benefit of Lipo360 is not the number on the scale but the dramatic improvement in body contour and proportion.

Lipo360 is designed to sculpt the entire midsection, creating a slimmer, more defined silhouette that appears to have resulted in a significant weight loss, even though only a modest amount of weight was actually removed.

What’s the Difference Between Lipo360 and Traditional Liposuction?

Traditional liposuction typically focuses on one area at a time, such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks. Lipo360, on the other hand, takes a comprehensive approach by treating the entire midsection, including the upper and lower abdomen, flanks, back, and waistline, in a single session.

This 360-degree technique addresses stubborn fat deposits from multiple angles, resulting in a balanced, sculpted appearance. Lipo360 also allows skilled surgeons like Dr. Justin Bellamy to create smoother transitions between areas, eliminating the sharp lines or uneven results that can sometimes occur when only one area is treated.

How Should I Prepare for a Lipo360 Procedure?

Preparing for Lipo360 begins by requesting your consultation with Dr. Bellamy, who will assess your health, perform an examination, discuss your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan. You should aim to be at or near your ideal weight before undergoing surgery, as results are best maintained when your weight is stable.

In the weeks before surgery, you may need to:

• Stop smoking and avoid nicotine products, as these can impair healing.
• Adjust or temporarily stop certain medications and supplements that increase bleeding risk.
• Arrange for someone to drive you home and assist you for at least the first 24 to 48 hours.
• Prepare a comfortable recovery area at home with loose clothing, hydration, and prescribed medications on hand.

What Should I Expect from a Lipo360 Procedure?

Lipo360 is performed under general anesthesia for your comfort and safety. Small, discreet incisions are made near the treatment areas, and a cannula is used to break up and extract stubborn fat. The amount of fat removed varies depending on your body and goals.

Dr. Bellamy artfully removes excess fat to enhance definition and reduce bulges around the waistline. Patients often notice a smoother, more contoured figure immediately after surgery, even with some initial swelling present.

What Does Recovery Look Like After Lipo360?

Recovery from Lipo360 is relatively straightforward but does require patience and adherence to post-operative instructions. During the first week, you can expect swelling, bruising, and some soreness. Most patients can return to non-strenuous work and light activities after one to two weeks. Exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for three to four weeks, and Dr. Bellamy will provide personalized guidance on when it is safe to resume your normal routine.

How Do I Maintain My Results from Lipo360?

The fat cells removed during Lipo360 are permanently gone, but the remaining fat cells can still expand if you gain weight. To maintain your slimmer, more sculpted look, it is important to commit to healthy habits. This includes following a balanced diet, staying physically active, and avoiding significant fluctuations in weight.

Patients who maintain their results often find it easier to continue a healthy lifestyle after seeing their improved shape. Regular exercise, including both cardio and strength training, combined with mindful nutrition, will help preserve your results long-term.

What Are My Other Options for Weight Loss After Receiving Lipo360?

If your goal is significant weight loss rather than body contouring, Lipo360 may not be the right option for you right now. After Lipo360, some patients choose to explore additional weight management tools, including:

• Medically supervised weight loss programs that provide structured diet and exercise plans.
• Non-surgical fat reduction treatments like CoolSculpting, which can target small pockets of fat that remain.
• Lifestyle coaching or nutritional counseling to support long-term weight control.

These approaches can complement your surgical results and help you maintain your ideal body composition.
