Lipo 360
in Miami, FL
At Revive Surgical Institute, we provide advanced Lipo 360 in Miami to help patients achieve their ideal body contours. Stubborn fat deposits might be resistant to diet and exercise. It might be challenging to achieve the contours on certain areas of the body. Fortunately, with the Lipo 360, patients can attain a more toned and defined physique with a minimally invasive procedure.
Our board-qualified plastic surgeon, Dr. Askari, has years of experience in body contouring. He has treated hundreds of patients to improve their self-confidence and body contours. We are dedicated to offering individualized care and cutting-edge surgical techniques to assist everyone in creating a streamlined, sculpted physique.Â
What Is Lipo 360?
Lipo 360 is a new, more advanced version of liposuction that contours and sculpts the entire middle area at one time. In contrast, standard liposuction addresses only one area at a session. At the same time, the Lipo 360 procedure removes unwanted pockets of fat on the stomach, sides, middle back, lower back, and flanks, creating a streamlined, sleek figure from all sides.
During this procedure, Dr. Askari uses meticulous liposuction techniques to eliminate unwanted fat, enhancing the natural curves and contours of the body. The goal is to achieve a balanced, proportionate figure with a natural-looking result. Lipo 360 does not replace weight loss. However, it is an ideal solution for those who are troubled by excess fat deposits that diet and exercise cannot remove.
What Areas Does Lipo 360 Include?
Lipo 360, also called circumferential liposuction, helps eliminate excess fat from the full circumference of the midsection. Areas for Lipo 360 in Miami include:
Upper and Lower Abdominals
This procedure is especially helpful for those patients who are struggling with resistant belly fat that does not respond to diet and exercise.
The Obliques
Lipo 360 eliminates the fat on the oblique muscles, the outer sides of the abdomen, to achieve a more defined and contoured natural waistline. It contributes to the highly sought-after hourglass figure.
The Sides/Flanks
Often referred to as love handles, this area has a tendency to store difficult-to-lose fat. But it can be easily removed with the help of Lipo 360.
Mid and Lower Back
Fat in the middle and lower back tends to create unwanted bulges that detract from the smoothness of the figure. Lipo 360 contours this area, creating a leaner and more defined back profile.
As such, this liposuction procedure offers the ability to reshape the body. With the expertise of the right plastic surgeon, patients can eliminate stubborn fat deposits from the abdomen, sides, and back—areas that often resist diet and exercise.
Lipo 360 Initial Consultation and Testing
The first step in the circumferential liposuction process is to have a personal consultation with Dr. Askari. During this consultation, he will discuss a patient’s goals and expectations, explain the procedure, and help them understand what results they might see. They will also complete a full physical examination and identify any contraindications. Following the first consultation, the subsequent step involves booking a procedure. Our team will give a patient pre-operative instructions, such as dietary advice and any essential medical tests needed to make sure the surgery goes smoothly and safely.
How Does Lipo 360 Work?
Anesthesia and Marking:
On the day of surgery, Dr. Askari marks the targeted sites for fat removal to achieve the most accurate contouring. Then, our anesthesiologist administers general anesthesia to make a patient comfortable during the procedure.
Fat Removal and Sculpting:
Using a vacuum-assisted, specially designed instrument, our surgeon removes unwanted fat from the lower back, sides, lower back, and abdominal region. Then, he shapes and sculpts the middle area for a full 360-degree transformation. Dr. Askari uses meticulous liposuction methods to create a natural, streamlined figure, highlighting the contours and curves of the body.
Closing and Recovery:
After finishing the procedure, our plastic surgeon closes the incisions meticulously and puts on compression clothing. This helps to reduce swelling and support the healing process. Depending on how many areas are being treated and how much fat is taken out, a Lipo 360 can take several hours.
What Are The Different Add-Ons to a Lipo 360?
The Brazilian Butt Lift
The BBL add-on is a great way of enhancing a patient’s entire body. This add-on procedure targets the buttocks by enhancing their size and shape. The Brazilian Butt Lift uses the excess fat removed via liposuction to place it back into the buttocks. It aims for curvaceous, proportionate figures and achieves a coveted hourglass shape.Â
Renuvion J-Plasma
Renuvion J-Plasma is a skin-tightening add-on for a Lipo 360. This technology combines helium gas and radiofrequency energy to tighten and tone skin. Renuvion helps to smooth and firm the skin and improve the overall contour of the treatment area. It also allows your results to last longer.
Abdominal Etching
Abdominal etching can be performed during a Lipo 360 to help highlight your abdominal muscles. Â This technique includes a strategic liposuction procedure carried out around the abdominal muscles’ natural lines. This creates an impression that the patient has well-developed abs. For those who wish to enhance their six-pack or obtain a sculpted and sporty appearance, it is perfect.
What Is the Recovery Process After Lipo 360 in Miami?
Immediate Recovery
After the procedure, patients are observed in our comfortable facility to ensure their recovery progresses safely and smoothly. Since Lipo 360 is an outpatient procedure, most of them are released on the same day. Mild pain, swelling, and bruising in the treated area are to be expected. But we will provide prescription pain medication to make you comfortable. Patients will also be provided with certain post-operative instructions to assist their recovery.
Early Weeks
Long-Term Results
Final results and complete recovery are not quick. Residual edema may take anywhere from 3 to 4 months to fully dissipate, revealing the final contoured, sculpted physique. Once the area heals, patients can attain a more toned, defined figure with lasting results. A healthy lifestyle, staying active, and maintaining a stable weight must be achieved to maintain the results.
Who Is the Best Candidate for Lipo 360?
Like all cosmetic surgical procedures, Lipo 360 may not be suitable for everyone. This is a more advanced procedure than traditional liposuction, and it may help specific individuals address multiple problem areas around the circumference of their torsos. The best candidates are those who:
Benefits of Lipo 360
Full-Body Contouring
Traditionally, liposuction only works on one section of the midsection at a time. However, with Lipo 360, patients can address their front, sides, lower back–even flanks–and upper back or bra area in a single procedure. This means this procedure sculpts an all-around improved body shape: more balanced and smoother than it would be otherwise – and from every angle, too.
Enhanced Definition and Curves
Boosted Confidence
A large number of patients feel much better about themselves when they end up with a more sculpted body. Being happy wearing tight clothes or a swimsuit makes them more confident when socializing and working—as well as in any other situation.
Minimally Invasive with Faster Recovery
Lipo 360 is a less invasive body contouring procedure than others available. It requires only small incisions that heal quickly. With proper care after surgery, most patients can go back to their daily routine within one or two weeks. Thismakes Lipo 360 a convenient choice for anyone wanting to sculpt their body.
Long-Lasting Results
After the removal of fat cells through Lipo 360, they do not come back. This means that its effects last a long time. If patients keep their weight stable and live healthily, they can enjoy their new body shape for many years.

Frequently Asked Questions about Lipo 360
How Long Does It Take To See The Results Of Lipo 360?Â
The Lipo 360 procedure removes fat immediately, unlike other body contouring procedures that kill fat cells but leave them in place for the body to eliminate naturally. However, because this is a surgical procedure, some patients may not see immediate results in terms of size reduction. It can take time for swelling to subside and for your skin and underlying tissues to return to normal. You should expect it to take a few weeks for your body to heal, followed by at least a few more weeks of minor inflammation. As the inflammation reduces over time, you’ll notice more and more significant results from the process.
Does Lipo 360 Have A Body Mass Index Requirement?Â
Yes, it does. The best candidates for Lipo 360 have a body mass index of less than 42. Your body mass index, usually abbreviated as BMI, is your weight in pounds divided by the square of your height in feet. It can provide a great deal ofinformation, including helping determine your risk factors for specific diseases and whether you are a good fit for particular procedures.Â
Does Lipo 360 Permanently Remove Fat Cells?Â
Yes, Lipo 360 permanently removes fat cells. However, new cells can still form if your weight increases over time. When you gain weight, remaining fat cells increase in both size and volume. New cells can be added, as well. Liposuction-based procedures, including Lipo 360, reduce the number of fat cells within specific areas. The cells removed during the procedure are permanently removed. This helps reshape your body and define your curves.
Does Lipo 360 Include Thigh Liposuction?Â
No, it does not. Lipo 360 is so-called because it focuses on the circumference of your torso, including the upper and lower abdominals, the flanks/sides, and your mid and lower back. If you wish to remove fat from your thighs, an additional liposuction procedure will be necessary. You may also be a candidate for laser or cryotherapy. Contact us to discuss your needs, and we’ll be happy to highlight all the combinations that can help you achieve your body contouring goals.
How Is Lipo 360 Different From Traditional Liposuction?Â
While Lipo 360 does use liposuction technology, the procedure itself is very different from the traditional liposuction procedure. Traditional liposuction procedures focus on a single body part – the abdomen or the thigh, for example. Lipo 360 is a specially designed procedure that allows your surgeon to remove stubborn fat deposits from around the entire circumference (body areas) of your torso during a single procedure.
It also differs in other ways, including allowing your surgeon to contour specific areas and create a cohesive shape for your torso. It’s also less invasive overall despite allowing access to the entire midsection.
Can You Combine Lipo 360 With Other Liposuction Procedures?Â
Yes! We regularly work with clients who combine Lipo 360 with other liposuction procedures. For instance, many of ourclients want to reshape their thighs and midsections. We’re also happy to combine Lipo 360 with other plastic surgery options, including tummy tucks, facelifts, a Brazilian butt lift, breast augmentation/reduction, and more.
Can You Get A Tummy Tuck And Lipo 360 At The Same Time?Â
Yes, you can. While they focus on similar areas, these procedures are not the same. Lipo 360 removes excess fat from the torso. However, it does not remove excess or loose skin. A tummy tuck can help remove sagging skin and can help those who’ve lost significant weight achieve a look they find more attractive, which boosts their self-confidence.
