What Is Lipo 360?

Lipo 360 is a comprehensive liposuction procedure that targets fat around the entire midsection, including the abdomen, flanks, and lower back. Unlike traditional liposuction that focuses on a single area, Lipo 360 provides a full 360-degree contouring effect, creating a smoother silhouette. This approach enhances natural curves and improves body proportions, making it a popular choice for patients seeking a sculpted, streamlined look.

Our Lipo 360 Techniques

Tumescent Liposuction

Tumescent liposuction is a widely used technique that involves injecting a special solution into the treatment area to minimize bleeding, swelling, and discomfort. Using traditional liposuction methods, this approach gently loosens fat cells, which are then carefully removed to enhance the body’s natural contours. It’s a reliable option for patients seeking effective fat reduction with a smooth result.

Ultrasound-Assisted Liposuction

Ultrasound-assisted liposuction uses advanced technology to break up fat cells with ultrasonic energy before removal, allowing for more precise fat removal compared to traditional liposuction methods. This technique is particularly helpful in areas with denser fat or fibrous tissue, ensuring a refined, sculpted appearance while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues.

Consultation &
Preparation for Lipo 360

The journey to a successful Lipo 360 procedure begins with an initial consultation, where our team reviews your medical history and discusses your goals in detail. During this appointment, we evaluate body fat distribution, skin elasticity, and overall health to determine the best approach for your unique shape. Careful assessment of the entire circumference of your midsection ensures that your treatment plan addresses all areas that contribute to a smooth contour. Proper preparation and personalized planning help maximize results and support a safe procedure.

Lipo 360 Procedure

Anesthesia

Lipo 360 is typically performed under local anesthesia, ensuring patients remain comfortable and relaxed throughout the procedure while minimizing risks associated with general anesthesia. This approach allows for a safer experience and quicker overall recovery while keeping you alert and responsive if needed.

Incisions

The procedure begins with the creation of tiny incisions in strategic locations around the midsection. These tiny incisions allow for precise access to the areas targeted for fat removal while keeping scarring minimal and discreet.

Fat Removal

Using specialized liposuction techniques, Dr. Berardi carefully removes unwanted fat from the abdomen, flanks, and lower back. By sculpting the entire midsection, Lipo 360 creates a smooth contour that enhances natural body proportions.

Contouring & Refinement

After fat removal, Dr. Berardi refines the treated areas to ensure even contours and natural-looking results. This step helps prevent irregularities and ensures that the newly sculpted shape complements the patient’s overall body structure.

Closure

Finally, the tiny incisions are closed and dressed, leaving minimal visible scarring. The combination of strategic fat removal and meticulous closure allows for a sleek silhouette with long-lasting results.

Recovery After Lipo 360

Initial Care

Lipo 360 is performed as an outpatient procedure, allowing most patients to return home the same day. Following surgery, it’s important to follow all post-operative instructions carefully, including taking prescribed medications to minimize discomfort and support proper healing.

Compression Garment

Wearing a compression garment during the recovery period helps reduce swelling, support the newly contoured areas, and promote a smoother recovery process. Consistent use of the garment is key to achieving optimal results and maintaining comfort.

Activity & Exercise

During the first few weeks of recovery, patients should avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting. Gradually resuming light activity helps the body heal while preventing complications, ensuring a safer and more effective recovery.

Balanced Diet

Maintaining a healthy diet is essential for proper healing and long-term results. A nutritious diet supports tissue repair, minimizes swelling, and complements a healthy lifestyle to preserve your sculpted contours.

Recovery Time & Monitoring

The recovery time for Lipo 360 varies depending on the individual, but most patients notice improvement in swelling and bruising within a few weeks. Regular follow-ups with Dr. Berardi help monitor healing, address concerns, and ensure a smoother recovery.

Long-Term Care

Adopting a healthy lifestyle after surgery – including a healthy diet, regular exercise, and proper hydration – helps maintain results and supports overall wellness. Consistently following post-operative guidelines maximizes the benefits of your procedure and ensures long-lasting satisfaction.

Add-On Procedures

Facial Fat Transfer

Facial fat transfer is a cosmetic procedure that uses your body’s own fat to restore volume and smooth wrinkles in the face. During the treatment, stubborn fat cells are carefully harvested from areas like the abdomen or flanks and then purified before being injected into targeted facial areas. This approach offers a long-lasting enhancement without the need for synthetic fillers.

Natural Breast Augmentation

Natural breast augmentation is a procedure that enhances breast size and shape using your own fat, providing a natural-looking lift. Tissue is harvested from areas with excess fat and transferred to the breasts, allowing patients to achieve improved contour while avoiding implants and minimizing surgical invasiveness.

Brazilian Butt Lift

The Brazilian butt lift (BBL) is a cosmetic procedure that enhances the shape and fullness of the buttocks using fat transfer. Fat is collected from areas with excess fat, like the abdomen, flanks, or thighs, and strategically injected into the buttocks to create a more lifted, rounded, and proportionate appearance.

Liposuction Candidates

Ideal candidates for liposuction are individuals who are near their ideal body weight but struggle with excess fat deposits that resist diet and exercise, particularly in areas such as the upper and lower abdomen, flanks, and back. Candidates should have good skin elasticity, as loose skin may limit the procedure’s ability to create smooth contours. It’s important for patients to have realistic expectations, understanding that liposuction is not a weight-loss solution but a body-contouring procedure designed to enhance shape and proportion.

Cost of Lipo 360 in Scottsdale, AZ

In Scottsdale, the cost of Lipo 360 typically ranges from about $6,500 to $10,000, though it can vary based on the extent of contouring needed, the provider’s experience, facility fees, and any additional services included in your surgical plan. Some clinics may quote a broader range depending on the number of areas treated and personalized treatment goals, so your actual price may be above or below this range after a consultation.

During your visit, Dr. Berardi will discuss all associated costs and provide an accurate estimate tailored to your needs.
