What is a lipo 180?

Dear LC0215,
it is hard to tell for sure. But if lipo 360 includes the whole body, lipo 180 will probably include only front part of the body without back or flanks. 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.

Just a term meaning lipo of front of body or back only. Lipo 360 is complete lipo around trunk. Using the degrees of a circle from geometry. You remember geometry?

Lipo 180 is not a common term, but lipo 360 would be all around your body, so lipo 180 is just one side. If you are a good candidate (less than 5L of fat) for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL), the optimal outcomes are achieved with: 1) use of VASER liposuction to harvest the fat, 2) a closed looped system such as Puregraft to process the fat, and 3) strategic micro-packet transplant technique. These three processes have demonstrated over 95% fat graft take. This means that your results will be stable as long as you maintain your weight. As an official VASER trainer, I am routinely referred unhappy BBL patients. One of the most common reasons for disgruntled BBL patients is that patients are not able to accurately communicate their desired buttocks goals to their surgeons. A buttocks assessment tool can be an invaluable tool to communicate to your surgeon the exact buttocks size and shape you are desiring. A Skype or FaceTime consultation with a BBL specialist can help you get an accurate recommendation and pricing.

If liposuction 360° implies that the treatment is Circumferential then 180 would imply that it includes only the front half or the rear half.

If you want to know what the meaning is then I suggest you ask the person using the term.

When it comes to body contouring there is only one variable that matters for each individual patient and that is finding the most experienced and talented provider in their area.

Do that by having multiple in person consultations and review all physician review websites avoiding providers who have any significant number of justified negative reviews.

An experienced provider should have no difficulty showing 50 or more sets of impressive before and after pictures of the area you’re having treated preferably several hundred.

The name of the equipment or procedure is irrelevant. Plastic surgeons have the tools they need to get the job done. The difference in outcome is purely related to the candidacy of The patient and the skill of the provider. terminology to describe what areas being treated should be clearly defined during in person consultation using proper anatomic terminology.
