I have been asked this question many times by patients, and their question was, “Why does everybody call it 360 now? So what is the big deal about liposuction? If it’s nothing more than liposuction, then? It is a question that is asked almost weekly while taking a consultation for cosmetic surgery in Jaipur and deserves a proper answer.
The 360-degree liposuction is not a new procedure. It’s a change in the direction of the midsection. The surgeon will treat the whole of the waistline rather than one side at a time.
What Gets Treated in a 360 Session
Imagine that your waistline is one whole ring, not a front and back. This technique is basically what it does.
It covers:
- The abdomen is divided into two parts, which are the upper and lower abdomen.
- The sides of the hips, known as the ‘love handles’
- The area of the mid and lower back, including the area around the bra roll.
What does this mean? Fat doesn’t always live in one place. Only take it off from the front, and the back may appear uneven. It helps to maintain the ring’s shape when it is worn fully, even though you don’t see it that way in the mirror.
Who Should Actually Consider This
This is something that very few patients will hear until they have a formal consultation. This will not be a quick weight loss trick.
An honest aesthetic surgeon in Jaipur will discuss the weight fluctuation of the patient before explaining the procedure. Some common qualities are indicative of a good candidate.
- They are nearing a healthy weight that is stable.
- They will have good skin elasticity, and the skin will pull back after any fat removal.
- They have no uncontrolled medical problems, increasing surgical risk.
- They don’t want a change in the scales; they want a change of shape.
If you have been experiencing weight fluctuations for months, iron it out first. Surgery is best performed when the body is already in equilibrium.
Walking Through the Procedure
Believe it or not, the process begins with standing up. Marking treatment zones while standing will provide a more accurate map of fat distribution since it distributes differently when lying flat.
The first is a tumescent fluid. This dulls the area and prevents excessive bleeding during the procedure. Then a thin cannula is put through small incisions, breaking up the fat and sucking it out in a sweeping motion around the body. This continuous motion is where the number 360 comes from, and not the number of areas treated.
Recovery Is Where Real Discipline Shows
Tell any patient a month after surgery, and they will say the same thing! It’s the first two weeks that make you impatient.
Swelling and bruising are common in the early stages. The compression garment is worn for a few weeks to allow skin to adapt evenly to the new contour. Most people resume their desk-based work within a few days, but for gym time and heavy lifting, this will take 4-6 weeks.
Walking helps with circulation and promotes healing. Fat cells once removed won’t come back just as long as your weight remains unchanged following surgery.
Conclusion
So, is 360 liposuction for you? It depends less on the procedure and more on your skin, your weight history, and how honest you are in your consultation. It is a must for any individual who is looking into cosmetic surgery in Jaipur to undergo a physical assessment prior to any decision. This approach is not used on every patient, as Dr Aakansha Vashistha will take the time to examine each patient’s anatomy and goals before making a recommendation towards this approach, since one template may not fit a real body.
