Question

Can I get 360 lipo without a tummy tuck and till see a result? I only seem to see 360 lipo done when there's a TT also.

A picture would be helpfull but an evaluation 
by a board certified plastic surgeon is a must
to determine your options. In general lipo 360
with or without tummy tuck could be done in
appropiately selected patients. Best wishes.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

yes you can but if you have loose skin you will need it removed. and 360 lipo does better with internal heating like renuvion anyway, so that should be done.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Unfortunately, you have not provided photographs or told us your height and weight. However, 360 liposuction can be used to remove as much as 10 lbs in one session here in Texas. Also, you will wear a compressive garment to help reshape your body and help you lose some weight. This should produce a significant visual result.

Without photos of your anatomy, I am unable to provide specific advice. If you have children, or a BMI over 30, a TT may be the best option. However, you may be able to avoid the TT, but this will depend upon your exam and the precision with which the liposuction is performed. How flat the abdomen will be will depend upon how much fat is removed from the area as well as how you heal.

Timothy M. Bradley, MD · Answer

Of course you can see a great result with stand alone 360 liposuction without a tummy tuck, provided you meet the proper selection criteria for this procedure. Your expectations and definition as to what a good "result" is must be realistic considering your pre operative weight, skin quality etc. Without a picture, it is impossible to know if you would see the result which you hope to attain with liposuction alone of the abdomen, waist and flank areas (ie "360" Lipo). Tummy tuck surgery addresses excess/stretched skin of the abdomen, stretched skin around and /or above the belly button, lax abdominal wall and other specific indications. An in person consult and physical examination with a qualified board certified plastic surgeon, along with a discussion about what you hope to achieve will most certainly answer your questions.

Thank you for your question. To provide a valid medical opinion I will need to see pictures of you body from different angles. I would suggest to be treated by board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this procedure, to get the best desired results.

Dear Hannamo1,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Yes, you can get liposuction only for your abdomen and flank areas and probably notice a big change. You did not submit photos, so I cannot be specific. Remember, liposuction does not remove excess skin or tighten weaken muscles.

Mats Hagstrom, MD (license on probation) · Answer

I’m not sure where you’re looking at results but if you look at most plastic surgeons before and after pictures or liposuction you’ll find pure liposuction results.

The majority of patients who get liposuction do not have a tummy tuck at the same time.

Patients who have skin laxity And muscle separation from previous pregnancies typically need a tummy tuck. Patients with tight skin, no muscle separation and just excess subcutaneous fat tend to be more ideal candidates for Liposuction.

Best,
