For many people, areas of fat around the belly, back, and sides are simply impossible to get rid of through diet and exercise, creating a “spare tire” around the waist that is a source of frustration and self-consciousness. Fortunately, Lipo 360 is a comprehensive method of removing the localized fat deposits around the entire circumference of the waist in a safe, effective manner. The result is a smoother, slimmer shape that allows you to look your best and feel confident in your body!
Lipo 360, more formally Circumferential Trunk Liposuction, is a form of fat removal that goes beyond targeting one specific area. Instead, Dr. Ortiz will work in a 360-degree manner around the waist, removing fat deposits from around the upper and lower abdomen, flanks (love handles), and mid to lower back. Like traditional liposuction, Dr. Ortiz performs the procedure using suction-assisted liposuction. Suction-assisted liposuction is a method in which a solution of saline, water, and anesthesia is injected into the fat cells, and a cannula is inserted to suction them out. In addition to fat removal, Dr. Ortiz can also sculpt and contour the area into a slimmer, more attractive physique. He will work with you to determine the right method for the procedure during your initial consultation. Because lipo 360 is generally a safe outpatient procedure, many patients find the recovery experience to be fairly quick and simple. There may be some soreness and bruising, and Dr. Ortiz may place drains at the incision sites to prevent a build up of fluid. This will limit your activity for a few days, but most people are able to get back to normal light activity within a week and back to work in two weeks. You can find more information about this procedure in our frequently asked questions about lipo 360.
Lipo 360 is not a weight loss solution. Rather, it's for people who are at a healthy weight but struggle with stubborn areas of fat around their midsection. By removing the excess fat, you can experience a more toned abdomen, a more defined waistline, and a smoother silhouette.
If you're ready to feel more confident and attractive with Lipo 360, Dr. Ortiz can help. He has worked with countless women and men to reach their goals, feel more confident, and love how they look.
