What is Lipo 360? +
Lipo 360 is a liposuction treatment pattern that addresses the entire circumference of the midsection in a single surgical session: upper and lower abdomen, waist and obliques, flanks, and mid to lower back. Rather than a separate technology, it describes treating the torso all the way around instead of one isolated area.
What areas does Lipo 360 include? +
A standard Lipo 360 covers the upper abdomen, lower abdomen, waist and obliques, flanks (love handles), and the mid and lower back, including the bra roll. Your surgeon confirms the exact map at your consultation, since coverage can be adjusted to your anatomy and goals.
How is Lipo 360 different from regular liposuction? +
Standard liposuction treats one or two isolated areas. Lipo 360 treats the full circumference of the torso in one session, so the transitions between treated and untreated zones are blended rather than abrupt. This is what produces a result that reads as balanced from the side and back, not only from the front.
Am I a good candidate for Lipo 360? +
Good candidates are at or near their goal weight, have stubborn midsection fat that has not responded to diet and exercise, have reasonable skin elasticity, are in good overall health, and are non-smokers. Patients with significant loose abdominal skin or separated abdominal muscles are often better served by a tummy tuck or a combination procedure.
Is Lipo 360 a weight-loss procedure? +
No. Lipo 360 is a body-contouring procedure that reshapes the midsection by removing localized fat deposits. It is not a substitute for weight loss, and it works best on patients who are already close to a stable goal weight.
What technique does Svelta use for Lipo 360? +
Our surgical team performs Lipo 360 using tumescent and VASER ultrasound-assisted liposuction. VASER helps break up fat before removal, which supports smoother contouring and better skin retraction across a large treatment area like the full torso.
How long does Lipo 360 surgery take? +
Because Lipo 360 covers several areas in one session, it typically runs longer than a single-area procedure. Your surgeon provides a specific time estimate once your treatment map and technique are finalized.
What type of anesthesia is used? +
Lipo 360 is performed under general anesthesia in our A+ accredited surgical facility, as an outpatient procedure. You go home the same day.
How long is Lipo 360 recovery? +
Most patients return to light desk work within 5 to 7 days. Light cardio can usually resume around 3 weeks, and full gym activity around 6 weeks, subject to your surgeon's clearance. Because the full torso is treated, early recovery involves more overall soreness than a single-area procedure.
How long do I wear the compression garment? +
A compression garment is worn for 4 to 6 weeks. It controls swelling and supports skin retraction around the full circumference of the torso, which matters more with Lipo 360 than with spot treatment because the entire midsection is healing at once.
How should I sleep after Lipo 360? +
Because the back and flanks are treated along with the abdomen, finding a comfortable position takes some planning. Your care team will give you specific positioning guidance at your pre-operative visit based on your treatment map.
When will I see my final results? +
Swelling makes the first few weeks difficult to judge. Final results typically become visible at 3 to 6 months, once residual swelling resolves and the skin settles into its new contour.
Are Lipo 360 results permanent? +
The fat cells removed do not grow back. Results are long-lasting when weight stays stable, though remaining fat cells elsewhere can still expand with significant weight gain.
Can I combine Lipo 360 with a BBL? +
Yes, and it is a common pairing. The fat harvested during Lipo 360 can be purified and transferred to the buttocks in the same operation. Combination packages start at $7,500.
Can I combine Lipo 360 with a tummy tuck? +
Yes. Patients with loose abdominal skin or muscle separation often pair the two, since Lipo 360 addresses fat and circumferential contour while a tummy tuck addresses excess skin and the underlying muscle wall.
What does Lipo 360 cost in Miami? +
At Svelta Plastic Surgery, Lipo 360 starts at $3,000, with most cases falling in the $3,000 to $8,000 range depending on technique, extent of treatment, and individual anatomy. Combination procedures are priced separately.
Can I finance my Lipo 360? +
Yes. We offer CareCredit and Affirm financing with low monthly payment options, plus an in-house layaway plan. Visit our Financing page or ask at your consultation.
