What is Belo 360° Liposuction?

A procedure that removes unwanted fat from specific areas of the body, Belo’s 360° Liposuction technique targets multiple areas of the body, including the abdomen, hips, waist, back, arms, and thighs, to give you the ultimate body contouring experience. The best part is, once the fat is removed, it’s gone for good.

Who is an Ideal 360° Liposuction Candidate?

Belo 360° Liposuction is great for those who have already made healthy lifestyle changes but can’t seem to shake off those last few pounds. Believe it or not, you can still have some stubborn pockets of fat even if you’re hitting the gym and eating a balanced diet.

While we leave it to our Belo Doctors and their expertise upon consultation, ideally, a good candidate for liposuction includes patients without life-threatening illnesses or medical conditions that can slow down healing. These are adults within 30% of their ideal weight.

What Areas Can 360° Liposuction Treat?

Are you having difficulty losing your tummy or arm flab no matter how much you workout? 360° Liposuction can be a great way to sculpt your figure and get rid of your problem areas. “The procedure is done on stubborn areas—like the abdomen, upper arms, thighs, and buttocks. These are areas where it’s harder to lose fat,” according to Dr. Joey Muñoz, Associate Physician of Belo Greenbelt. “The ideal candidate is someone with minimal to moderate fat, and has the discipline to work out and eat right.”

Can 360° Liposuction Immediately Shape Your Body Figure?

While Liposuction trims inches off your problem areas, this means that you won’t lose weight as drastically. Liposuction improves your body shape, and you can look forward to having a more sculpted figure. Significant changes can be seen after 3 to 6 months. It’s best if you stick to a healthy diet and a doctor-approved workout post-op for the best results.

Can 360° Liposuction Prevent Obesity?

The simple answer is no. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, complete with a balanced diet and regular exercise is still important to not just prevent obesity, but also maintain your results. Without a strict diet and a regular exercise routine, patients who undergo liposuction often find themselves gaining unnecessary fat in some areas. This is because their cells expand due to weight gain.

How Is The 360° Liposuction Procedure Like?

Unlike general anesthesia that makes you completely unconscious, the procedure starts off with twilight sedation which allows you to be sedated enough to not feel any pain or discomfort, but still be awake and able to breathe on your own. This means a shorter recovery time, fewer risks, and a more comfortable experience overall.

What is Recovery Like for 360° Liposuction?

With 360° Liposuction, recovery time is short. Thanks to twilight sedation, you’ll be able to return to work and other daily activities within just a few days. Since there’s minimal scarring involved, you can wear your favorite outfits without any worries.

How Do I Maintain My 360° Liposuction Results?

To set realistic and long-term goals for our clients, the patient must also do their part to reach them – and that comes with good nutrition, exercise and the like! Dr. Vicki Belo did say that liposuction is similar to helping you prepare for a marathon – the procedure, say, takes you at the 32 km mark, but it’s up to you to run the rest of the 10 km to the finish line! With a goal-getter like yourself, we know you can do it!
