Lipo 360 refers to circumferential liposuction of the entire midsection, treating the abdomen (upper and lower), flanks, waist, and lower back in a single surgical session. The goal is to create a dramatically slimmer, more contoured silhouette when viewed from every angle. It is among the most popular body contouring procedures in Miami, particularly popular among women seeking an hourglass shape and men wanting a more athletic torso.
Ideal Candidates for Lipo 360
The best results from Lipo 360 come from patients who match these criteria:
- Within 10–15 lbs of their ideal weight: Lipo 360 is a contouring procedure, not a weight loss tool
- Good skin elasticity: Skin that retains good tone will retract smoothly after fat removal; loose or heavily stretched skin may require additional skin removal procedures
- Stubborn fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise: Particularly in the flanks, waist, and lower back
- Stable weight for at least 6 months: Ongoing weight fluctuations affect results
- Non-smokers or willing to quit completely before and after surgery
- No significant abdominal loose skin: If you have significant skin laxity, a tummy tuck or combined procedure may be more appropriate
Who Is NOT a Good Candidate
- Patients significantly overweight (BMI above 30–35)
- Those with major loose or hanging skin from large weight loss
- Active smokers (high risk of complications)
- Patients with significant medical conditions affecting circulation or healing
- Those expecting surgery to be a substitute for lifestyle changes
What Lipo 360 Can and Cannot Do
Lipo 360 can create stunning waist definition, eliminate love handles, reduce the lower back "bra roll," and sculpt a dramatically slimmer silhouette. It cannot remove internal (visceral) fat around the organs, only subcutaneous fat that lies beneath the skin. It also cannot tighten loose skin. For patients with loose skin, combining Lipo 360 with a tummy tuck provides comprehensive improvement in both contour and skin quality.
Combining Lipo 360 With a BBL
One of the most popular combinations in Miami is Lipo 360 plus a Brazilian butt lift, harvesting fat from the midsection and transferring it to the buttocks and hips for a dramatic hourglass transformation. This dual-benefit approach is one of the most requested procedures at Svelta Plastic Surgery.
