Do you have a stomach pooch or love handles that refuse to budge with your diet and exercise routine? Some fat deposits are stubborn and seem resistant to loss regardless of your efforts. Liposuction is the gold standard of targeted fat removal, often used for shrinking the thighs, flanks, abdomen and other fatty areas. Lipo 360 is a method of removing fat on the front and back of the torso to reshape the waist and contour the body. Dr. Aviva Preminger is a board certified plastic surgeon and liposuction specialist that offers Lipo 360 through her practice in Manhattan.
What Is Lipo 360?
The benefit of Lipo 360 is that the entire torso is slimmed and reshaped. If only the abdomen receives liposuction, it can flatten the stomach but may not define the waist or sides of the torso. Many people who have stubborn fat deposits on the front of the torso also have love handles and lower back fat on the backside. Lipo 360 trims the torso to create the desired shape with a flatter stomach, slimmer waist and a reshaped lumbar region. The idea is to improve the three-dimensional appearance of your body, which is what others see.
