Reveal a more sculpted, defined silhouette with liposuction 360
The midsection is one of the most common areas where the body holds on to stubborn fat—especially around the abdomen, waist, flanks, and lower back. These areas often remain resistant to diet and exercise alone, which can make it difficult to achieve the definition and proportion you’re looking for. Liposuction 360 is a comprehensive body contouring procedure that targets multiple zones at once to create a more sculpted, contoured appearance from all angles.
Changes to the waistline after Lipo 360 often result in a more defined silhouette, enhanced proportions, and clothing that fits more comfortably across the midsection.
This procedure is fully customizable based on your anatomy and goals. Whether you’re looking to accentuate your waistline, improve symmetry, or refine your body’s overall contour, Liposuction 360 offers a tailored solution. Many patients also pair this approach with additional procedures, such as fat transfer including to the buttocks (BBL), breast, or face, for enhanced results.
Whether you’re seeking to reverse the effects of weight fluctuations or simply want to refine areas that haven’t responded to healthy habits, Liposuction 360 is designed to enhance your natural shape with targeted fat removal and lasting contour improvement.
In Florida, current medical guidelines allow for up to 4,000 cc (or 4 liters) of fat to be safely removed during a single liposuction procedure.This limit is set by the Florida Board of Medicine to reduce surgical risk and support a safe, stable recovery.
Liposuction 360 is most commonly performed under general anesthesia, which allows for maximum comfort and efficiency—especially when treating multiple areas in a single session. However, local anesthesia may be an option for select patients undergoing primary (first-time) liposuction with minimal fat removal. Some patients prefer local anesthesia to remain awake and reduce post-operative side effects, though it may limit the number of areas treated.
It’s also important to understand what liposuction can and can’t do. Liposuction removes fat, but it doesn’t tighten loose skin. In fact, if there’s significant skin laxity—particularly in the abdomen—liposuction alone can make this looseness more noticeable. For these patients, a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) is often recommended to remove excess skin and repair muscle separation for a smoother, firmer result.
Your body, your goals — personalised liposuction 360
At the South Florida Center for Cosmetic Surgery, we believe body contouring should reflect your unique anatomy, lifestyle, and goals—not a one-size-fits-all procedure. That’s why every Liposuction 360 treatment plan is thoughtfully designed to address your specific needs and enhance your shape in a way that feels intentional and well-balanced.
Our skilled plastic surgeons customize every Liposuction 360 approach to target fat around the abdomen, waist, flanks, and lower back—delivering a smoother, more defined silhouette from every angle. At the South Florida Center, all 360 procedures include liposuction of the flanks to help create or accentuate an hourglass figure. During your consultation, your surgeon will evaluate your anatomy and discuss your goals in detail to determine the most effective contouring plan.
Many patients pursue Liposuction 360 not just to refine their shape, but to improve how their body feels day-to-day—whether it’s fitting better in clothing, regaining definition after weight loss, or restoring proportional curves after life changes.
Liposuction 360 at the South Florida Center starts at $1,999 (not including anesthesia or surgeon’s fees), with final pricing based on your personalized surgical plan. We also offer flexible financing options through trusted providers to help make your procedure more accessible.
We’re here to support you through every step of the process—with experienced care, clear guidance, and results you can feel good about.
How is liposuction 360 performed? understanding treatment areas & incision points
Liposuction 360 is designed to sculpt and recontour the entire midsection—including the upper and lower abdomen, waistline, flanks (love handles), and lower back.
During the procedure, fat is removed using a thin, hollow instrument called a cannula, which is inserted through a series of small incisions—typically 3 to 5, each about 3 to 5 millimeters long. These incisions are placed strategically in natural skin folds or areas easily concealed beneath clothing. Once the cannula is inserted beneath the skin, fat is gently suctioned out, allowing your surgeon to contour each targeted area with precision and control.
At the South Florida Center, we offer two types of liposuction techniques: traditional and power-assisted liposuction (PAL).
- Traditional liposuction uses manual movements to break up and remove fat through the cannula.
- Power-assisted liposuction (PAL) uses a motorized cannula that vibrates rapidly, making it easier to dislodge and remove fat more efficiently—especially in fibrous or dense areas. This method may minimize tissue trauma, and enhance sculpting precision for smoother results.
Your surgeon will determine which method best suits your anatomy and goals, ensuring a treatment approach that delivers consistent, natural-looking results.
Here’s how each treatment zone is approached:
Upper and
Lower Abdomen
Fat from the front of the midsection is reduced to smooth bulges and define the waistline. Small incisions are usually placed just above the pubic area and sometimes near the belly button for discreet access.
Waist & Flanks
(Love Handles)
To create or enhance an hourglass silhouette, fat is removed from the sides of the waist and outer torso. Incisions for this area are typically made along the natural creases of the lower back or sides, allowing for contouring with minimal scar visibility.
Lower Back &
Sacrum Area
Addressing fat in the lower back can enhance the curve of the lower torso and improve definition above the glutes. Small access points are placed low on the back, near the tailbone or just above the gluteal crease.
Each of these incisions is strategically placed in natural folds or low-profile areas to ensure they remain as subtle as possible once healed. Most patients report that these tiny scars fade significantly over time and are easily hidden by underwear or swimwear.
During your consultation, your surgeon will explain exactly where your access points will be placed, based on your unique anatomy and goals—so you’ll know what to expect and how to prepare for the best results.
You’ll look like a more confident version of yourself.
Refine and Sculpt the Waistline
Lipo 360 doesn’t just flatten the front—it reshapes the waist from all angles. By addressing fat deposits around the abdomen, flanks, and back, this treatment sculpts a tighter, more defined waistline that looks smooth and balanced from every angle.
Accentuate an Hourglass Silhouette
Because Liposuction 360 treats the torso circumferentially, it enhances your natural curves by reducing bulk around the waist and back. The result? A more sculpted transition from your midsection to your hips—highlighting a refined, hourglass silhouette that feels uniquely yours.
Improve the Fit of Clothing
Excess fat around the waist, flanks, or back can make it challenging to find clothes that fit comfortably or flatter your figure. After Liposuction 360, many patients find that their clothes fit better—especially in the waistline, jeans, dresses, and swimwear—giving them more freedom and confidence in their style.

Surgery and recovery process
Surgery Day
Liposuction 360 typically takes 1.5 to 2.5 hours, depending on how many areas are being treated and the volume of fat being removed. Most commonly, the procedure is performed under general anesthesia for maximum comfort—especially when multiple zones are addressed at once. However, for select cases or smaller treatment areas, local anesthesia with sedation may be an option.
After surgery, you’ll return home the same day wearing a compression garment to help manage swelling and support your new shape. Our team will provide detailed post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth, comfortable recovery at home.
1 Day Post Op
Rest is key during the first 24–48 hours. Expect soreness, swelling, and tightness around the midsection, back, and flanks. Compression garments should be worn as directed to reduce fluid buildup and support your new contours. Light walking is encouraged to promote circulation and minimize the risk of blood clots.
1 Week Post Op
A follow-up visit is scheduled to monitor your healing progress and check incision sites. Bruising and swelling are still present but gradually improving. Most patients are able to move more comfortably and return to light, non-physical work depending on how they feel.
At this stage, you’ll continue wearing your first-stage compression garment—a high-compression, medical-grade garment designed to reduce swelling, support lymphatic drainage, and help your skin adhere smoothly to your new contours.
1 Month Post Op
Swelling continues to decrease, and your waistline begins to look more refined. Many patients resume normal routines, including low-impact exercise, depending on your surgeon’s guidance. Around this time, most patients are transitioned into a second-stage compression garment, which is less restrictive but still supportive. This garment is typically worn for several more weeks to aid in shaping and long-term results.
2-12 Months Post Op
As your body continues to settle, your results become more defined. Treated areas appear smoother, and your overall shape is more sculpted. Most patients experience full recovery within 3 to 6 months, though final results become visible around the 6–12 month mark as residual swelling fully resolves. By this stage, compression garments are typically no longer required, and your body has adapted to its new contours.

Frequently asked questions
What is Liposuction 360?
Liposuction 360 is a body contouring procedure that targets multiple areas around the midsection—typically the abdomen, waist, lower back, and flanks—to create a more defined, sculpted silhouette.
What areas are included in 360 lipo?
Lipo 360 commonly includes the upper and lower abdomen, waist, love handles (flanks), and lower back. Some patients may also choose to add bra roll or upper back fat removal.
How is Liposuction 360 different from traditional liposuction?
While traditional liposuction may focus on one or two areas, 360 liposuction treats the entire midsection for more comprehensive body contouring and a smoother, more proportional shape.
Am I a candidate for Lipo 360?
Ideal candidates are at or near their goal weight, in good overall health, and have localized fat deposits around the torso that are resistant to diet and exercise.
How much fat can be removed during Lipo 360?
Surgeons typically remove between 3 to 4 liters of fat, depending on the availability of fat, the patient’s anatomy, goals, and safety guidelines. The exact amount will be determined during consultation.
Is Lipo 360 a weight loss procedure?
No — Liposuction 360 is not intended for weight loss. It’s a body contouring treatment designed to enhance shape by removing stubborn fat in targeted areas.
Will Lipo 360 tighten loose skin?
Liposuction removes fat, but it doesn’t significantly tighten skin. If you have loose or sagging skin, your surgeon may recommend pairing Lipo 360 with a tummy tuck or skin-tightening treatment.
How long is recovery after Lipo 360?
Most patients return to light daily activities within 7–10 days and resume more strenuous activities after 4–6 weeks. Swelling may take several months to fully resolve.
Does Lipo 360 leave scars?
Tiny incisions (usually 3–5mm) are made in discreet areas and typically fade well over time. Your surgeon will strategically place them to minimize visibility.
How long do results from Lipo 360 last?
Results are long-lasting as long as you maintain a stable weight. While fat cells are permanently removed, remaining fat cells can expand with weight gain.
When will I see results after Lipo 360?
Some improvement is noticeable within a few weeks, but final results can take 3–6 months as swelling gradually subsides and your new contours settle.
How much does Lipo 360 cost?
Pricing varies based on provider, location, and treatment complexity. At the South Florida Center, Lipo 360 procedures start at $1,999 (excluding anesthesia and surgeon fees).
Can I combine Lipo 360 with other procedures?
Yes! Many patients combine Lipo 360 with a tummy tuck, BBL, breast surgery, or skin tightening treatments for more comprehensive results.
Is Lipo 360 safe?
When performed by an experienced plastic surgeon in an accredited facility, Lipo 360 is considered a safe and effective procedure. Your health and safety are always our top priority.
How long should I wear my compression garments after Liposuction 360?
Most patients wear a compression garment for 4 to 6 weeks after Liposuction 360. In the first stage (weeks 1–2), a low-compression medical garment helps control swelling and support healing. After that, patients transition to a second-stage, high-compression garment—usually worn for an additional 2 to 4+ weeks. Your surgeon will provide a personalized timeline based on your recovery and goals.
Will my scars be visible after Liposuction 360?
Liposuction 360 is performed using very small incisions, typically less than half an inch long. These incisions are placed in discreet, strategic locations—like the natural creases of the body or under the bikini line—to minimize visible scarring. Over time, with proper care, most scars fade significantly and become barely noticeable.
What is Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL) and how is it different from Traditional Liposuction?
Power-Assisted Liposuction (PAL) uses a vibrating cannula that breaks up fat more efficiently before it’s suctioned out. This technology allows for more precise fat removal with less trauma to the surrounding tissue, which may lead to less bruising and a smoother recovery. In contrast, Traditional Liposuction relies solely on manual motion, which can be more physically intensive for the surgeon and less precise for sculpting detailed areas. At the South Florida Center, your surgeon will help determine the right technique for your body and goals.
How much fat is removed during Liposuction 360?
In Florida, the legal limit for outpatient liposuction is up to 4,000 cc (about 4 liters) of fat, per procedure. This amount varies depending on your anatomy, body mass index (BMI), and overall health. Your surgeon will determine the safest and most effective volume to remove while prioritizing smooth, balanced results and a healthy recovery.
Will I have loose skin after Liposuction 360?
Liposuction 360 is designed to remove excess fat—not tighten skin. If you have mild to moderate skin elasticity, your skin may retract well after the procedure. However, if you already have significant skin laxity, liposuction alone may make looseness more noticeable. In these cases, a tummy tuck or skin-tightening treatment may be recommended to complement your results. During your consultation, your surgeon will assess your skin quality and suggest the best approach.
