What Is Lipo 360?
Lipo 360 is a comprehensive liposuction technique that targets multiple areas around the midsection, including the abdomen, flanks, and back. By treating the entire torso in a single session, it creates a more balanced and contoured appearance. This approach is especially effective for addressing stubborn fat deposits that do not respond to diet or exercise. Lipo 360 typically takes three to five hours, depending on the individual’s needs.
Areas Treated With Lipo 360
- Abdomen: Upper and lower.
- Waist/Flanks: Also known as "love handles," addressing the sides of the torso.
- Back: Upper back (bra rolls), mid-back, and lower back.
- Hips
- Sacral Triangle: The area directly above the buttocks.
Personal Consultation
Preparation for Lipo 360 begins with a thorough consultation, where Dr. Nesiba evaluates the patient’s medical history, physical condition, and aesthetic goals. He identifies target areas with excess fat deposits and develops a personalized surgical plan. Preoperative instructions may include lab testing, medication adjustments, and avoiding smoking to support optimal healing. Patients are also advised to arrange for post-surgical care and transportation in advance. Careful planning and clear communication with our surgical team help ensure a smooth experience and optimal results.
Before & After Lipo 360
Lipo 360 Procedure
Anesthesia
Lipo 360 is typically performed under general anesthesia, putting the patient to sleep. This ensures comfort and safety throughout the surgery, allowing Dr. Nesiba to perform the contouring with precision.
Tumescent Solution
Once anesthesia is administered, Dr. Nesiba injects a tumescent solution into the targeted regions. This sterile fluid contains a mixture of saline, epinephrine, and lidocaine, which helps minimize bleeding, reduce discomfort, and loosen unwanted fat cells for easier removal.
Small Incisions
Dr. Nesiba then makes small incisions around the torso, usually in discreet locations, such as along natural skin creases or undergarment lines. These entry points allow access to the underlying fat while minimizing visible scarring.
Fat Removal with Suction Device
Using a thin cannula attached to a suction device, Dr. Nesiba gently moves through the treated areas to break up and remove fat. The technique is performed evenly across the abdomen, flanks, and lower back to sculpt a smooth, natural-looking contour. Dr. Nesiba uses VASER technology to break up fat cells with ultrasound energy easily.
Completion and Closing
After all targeted fat has been removed, the small incisions are closed and dressed. Compression garments are typically applied to support the treated areas and reduce swelling in the days following the procedure.
Add-On Procedures
Brazilian Butt Lift
A Brazilian butt lift can be performed in combination with Lipo 360 to enhance the shape and volume of the buttocks using fat harvested from the treatment areas. During the same surgical session, Dr. Nesiba purifies the extracted fat and strategically injects it into the buttocks, offering enhanced curves through one procedure. This combination creates a more defined waist-to-hip ratio and a balanced silhouette.
Facial Fat Transfer
This procedure utilizes the fat transfer component of Lipo 360 to restore volume to areas such as the cheeks, temples, and under-eye region. Dr. Nesiba carefully processes and re-injects the purified fat to achieve natural-looking facial rejuvenation. This technique offers a long-lasting alternative to dermal fillers using the patient’s own tissue.
VASER Hi-Def Liposuction
VASER hi-def liposuction may be added to Lipo 360 for enhanced muscle definition in targeted areas, such as the abdomen or flanks. Dr. Nesiba uses ultrasound technology to break down fat while preserving surrounding tissues. This method allows for detailed sculpting, which is ideal for patients seeking a more athletic, contoured look.
Recovery After Cosmetic Surgery
First 24 Hours
Patients remain under close observation for several hours after Lipo 360 as the anesthesia wears off. Dr. Nesiba provides detailed post-operative instructions to ensure a safe start to the healing process. Mild discomfort, drainage from the small incisions, and fatigue are common during this time. Patients return home the same day after surgery.
Week 1
In the first week, wearing a compression garment is essential to minimize swelling and support the newly contoured areas. Bruising and soreness may persist, but they begin to gradually subside. Light walking is encouraged to promote circulation and reduce the risk of blood clots.
Weeks 2–3
By the second and third weeks, most patients begin to feel more comfortable and can resume non-strenuous activities. Swelling continues to decrease, and the results start becoming more visible. Continued use of the compression garment is recommended to support a smooth recovery.
Weeks 4–6
Between weeks four and six, patients often return to regular routines, including moderate exercise, if cleared by Dr. Nesiba. It is crucial during this phase to avoid gaining weight, as fluctuations can affect the surgical outcome. Ongoing adherence to post-operative instructions plays a key role in maintaining results.
Beyond 6 Weeks
After six weeks, swelling is mostly resolved, and the final contours become more defined. The treated areas settle into their new shape, and most patients notice a significant transformation. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle ensures long-lasting benefits from the procedure.
Candidates for Lipo 360
Some people consider Lipo 360 after noticing changes in their body shape that cannot be addressed through routine fitness and nutrition. Dr. Nesiba evaluates each patient individually to determine their eligibility for this body contouring procedure. Common candidates include:
- Adults with excess fat around the midsection
- Individuals with a stable BMI after weight loss
- People close to their ideal weight but struggling with localized fat
- Patients in good health without severe medical conditions
- Non-smokers or those willing to stop smoking during recovery
- Individuals with realistic expectations and a commitment to maintaining results

Frequently Asked Questions
Does insurance cover Lipo 360?
Lipo 360 is considered a cosmetic procedure, so it is typically not covered by insurance. Because it focuses on body contouring rather than medical necessity, patients usually must cover the costs out of pocket.
What differentiates VASER liposuction from laser-assisted liposuction (Smart Lipo) and power-assisted liposuction (PAL)?
VASER liposuction uses ultrasound energy to selectively break down fat while preserving surrounding tissues. This approach allows for greater precision and less trauma than laser-assisted liposuction and power-assisted liposuction, which use different methods to target fat.
Is tumescent liposuction safer than traditional liposuction?
Tumescent liposuction involves injecting a solution that numbs the area and constricts blood vessels to minimize bleeding. This technique helps remove adipose tissue and preserve surrounding structures, reducing complications compared to traditional liposuction methods.
Why should I choose a board-certified plastic surgeon?
A board-certified plastic surgeon has the expertise to fine-tune surgical techniques, providing more precision throughout the procedure. This skill level opens up transformative possibilities, leading to superior results and patient satisfaction.
Can plastic surgery help improve self-confidence?
Yes, plastic surgery can effectively address contour irregularities to help patients achieve their beauty goals. By improving physical appearance, many patients experience enhanced self-confidence and overall well-being.
Can I combine liposuction with other body contouring procedures?
Liposuction can be combined with treatments targeting the upper arms, tummy tuck, or other procedures designed to tighten skin. These combined treatment options allow for comprehensive body shaping and improved overall results.
Why is general anesthesia better for Lipo 360 than a local anesthetic?
General anesthesia is preferred for Lipo 360 because it allows for safe and comfortable treatment of the entire midsection. As an advanced form of liposuction, Lipo 360 requires extensive work that is best performed while the patient is entirely asleep.
