Comprehensive Midsection Contouring
Lipo 360, also known as 360-degree liposuction, is a comprehensive approach to body contouring that addresses the entire midsection in one procedure. Unlike traditional liposuction that may focus on isolated areas, Lipo 360 creates harmonious, balanced contours by treating the abdomen, flanks, and back as a unified area. This approach results in more natural, proportional results.
As a board-certified plastic surgeon in Boca Raton, I’ve seen how Lipo 360 can create more balanced, natural-looking results compared to treating areas in isolation. This article explores this comprehensive approach and helps you understand if it’s right for you.
