Is 360 Liposuction Painful?

Most patients describe soreness, tightness, and bruising rather than sharp pain. Discomfort is typically most noticeable in the first few days and improves steadily as recovery progresses. When performed under local anesthesia, many patients find the experience more manageable.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

360 Liposuction begins with a consultation, during which your goals and treatment plan are discussed in detail. After your procedure, you will return for follow-up appointments to monitor healing, check incision sites, and ensure your results are progressing as expected.

How Long Until I See Results?

You will notice a change in contour right after surgery, but swelling will temporarily affect the appearance of the final result. The early improvement is visible immediately, especially with reduced fullness in the treated areas. Over the following weeks, swelling gradually decreases, and your shape becomes more defined. Most patients see their results continue to refine over about two to three months, with final contours settling as the body fully heals.

How Soon Can I Travel After 360 Liposuction?

Travel will depend on your individual recovery and the extent of your 360 Liposuction procedure. Short, local travel may be possible within one to two weeks, as long as you are healing well and able to move comfortably. Longer travel, especially flights, will require more caution due to swelling, mobility, and circulation concerns. In most cases, Dr. Conkright advises patients to wait until they are further along in their healing and have been cleared during a follow-up visit before planning extended travel.

What Are the Risks Associated with 360 Liposuction?

Risks are uncommon when the procedure is performed by a qualified surgeon, but may include infection, delayed healing, fat or blood clots, shock, fluid accumulation requiring drainage, burns, perforation, lidocaine toxicity, and adverse drug or anesthesia reactions.

Sculpt Every Angle with Lipo 360.

The most popular cosmetic surgery procedure in the U.S. today, lipoplasty sculpts the body by removing undesirable fat from areas such as the abdomen, waist, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, chin, cheeks, neck, and upper arms that have not responded to diet and exercise. Lipoplasty, also called liposuction, removes localized collections of fatty tissue to give you a smoother and slimmer body contour.

For the best results, you should be at a relatively normal weight, with excess fat localized to specific areas such as the hips, buttocks, and abdomen.

Lipoplasty is neither a substitute for proper diet and exercise nor a method for overall weight loss. It cannot eliminate cellulite or correct loose, hanging skin. In fact, the best results from lipoplasty are achieved when you have healthy, elastic skin with the capacity to shrink evenly after surgery. If your skin has lost much of its elasticity, you may need a skin-tightening procedure, such as a tummy tuck or arm lift.

If weight loss is part of your plan, Dr. Conkright also offers medical weight loss under his personal care through our Concierge Weight & Wellness Program.

What is a 360 Liposuction?

360 liposuction targets the front, sides, and back of the torso to achieve a smoother, more balanced result.

At Conkright Aesthetics in Evansville, IN, 360 liposuction can often be performed in-office under local anesthesia, also known as “awake” surgery.

Awake surgery is more than a way to avoid general anesthesia — for many procedures, it gives Dr. Conkright more time to work artistically: sculpting, refining, and closely attending to your comfort throughout. It’s a relaxed setting, which is why it’s often the preferred approach for facial work. And because you remain awake, you can participate and interact during your own procedure — a technical advantage general anesthesia doesn’t allow.

Who are the best candidates for a 360 Liposuction?

The best candidates for Lipoplasty (Liposuction) are patients who are in good health, of relatively normal weight, have appropriate skin characteristics, have localized fat deposits that are diet- and exercise-resistant, and have realistic expectations.

During your consultation, Dr. Conkright will discuss whether or not Lipoplasty (Liposuction) is the appropriate procedure for you.

What are the benefits of a 360 Liposuction?

360 liposuction is designed to create a more complete and cohesive change in body shape rather than an isolated improvement in one area.

Treats the full midsection for a more even, balanced contour
Reduces stubborn fat in multiple areas that do not respond to diet and exercise
Improves waistline definition by addressing the front and back of the torso together
Creates more consistent results compared to single-area liposuction
Can be combined with fat transfer for added shaping in other areas of the body

What to Expect from a 360 Liposuction?

Local or general anesthesia may be used, and the procedure can last 1 to 5 hours, depending on the amount of fat removed. There are several methods surgeons use for liposuction, including tumescent liposuction, the super-wet technique, and ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL).

In all types, a tiny incision is made in as inconspicuous a place as possible. A cannula (small tube) is inserted and moved back and forth beneath the skin, breaking up the fat layer and suctioning it out. Tumescent and super-wet liposuction use fluid injection to facilitate fat removal, reduce blood loss, provide anesthesia during and after surgery, and help reduce postoperative bruising. UAL liquefies fat with ultrasonic energy and is highly precise.

Your Guide to Post-360 Liposuction Care

360 Liposuction Recovery

After surgery, drainage tubes, compression garments, and antibiotics may be needed to facilitate healing. Patients are encouraged to walk as soon as they are able, and many return to work within 1 to 2 weeks, although strenuous activity should be avoided for about 1 month.

Results are visible immediately, though improvement may continue as swelling subsides during the first three months. A good surgeon takes great care in making small incisions. If you have a large area or many sites being treated, Dr. Conkright will pay extra attention to keeping the incisions small.

Other irregularities in appearance are possible, including asymmetric or “baggy” skin, numbness, and changes in pigmentation. Final results vary from patient to patient and depend on age, treated areas, the amount of fat removed, and individual healing rates. Some patients see immediate results that improve steadily, while others have weeks of swelling. Both of these outcomes are normal.
