Imagine slipping into your favorite dress or suit, feeling confident and radiant as the fabric hugs your newly contoured body. This transformation isn’t just a dream — it’s the reality for many who’ve undergone 360 Liposuction in Miami.
At Dr. K Miami Plastic Surgery, we’re revolutionizing body contouring with our comprehensive approach to liposculpture. But what exactly is 360 Liposuction, and why has it become the go-to procedure for those seeking a total body transformation?
What is 360 Liposuction?
360 Liposuction, also known as circumferential liposuction, is an innovative body contouring technique that goes beyond traditional liposuction methods. Instead of focusing on isolated areas, this procedure addresses your entire midsection — think of it as a 360-degree approach to sculpting your torso.
This procedure offers comprehensive contouring by targeting the full circumference of your midsection, including the upper and lower abdomen, waist, flanks (love handles), and lower to mid-back areas. This approach creates balanced results by addressing multiple areas in one session, resulting in a more harmonious and natural-looking silhouette.
Recognizing that every body is unique, we customize each procedure, tailoring our techniques to your specific body goals and anatomy.
The Ideal Candidate: Is 360 Liposuction Right for You?
While surgery can create dramatic improvements in body contour, it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution. The ideal candidate for this procedure typically:
- Is within 30% of their ideal body weight
- Has good skin elasticity
- Has a BMI typically below 32
- Maintains a stable weight
- Has realistic expectations about the procedure’s outcomes
During your consultation, Dr. K will assess your individual case to determine if cosemtic surgery is the best path to achieving your body goals. We may also discuss complementary procedures or alternative treatments based on your unique needs.
What to Expect?
During your consultation:
- We’ll discuss your aesthetic goals and concerns
- Dr. K will assess your body composition and skin elasticity
- You’ll have the opportunity to view before-and-after photos of previous patients
- We may use advanced 3D imaging technology to help you visualize potential outcomes of your procedure
- We’ll create a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs
Preparing for Your Procedure
Once you’ve decided to move forward, our team will guide you through the preparation process. This typically involves:
- Maintaining a stable weight
- Stopping certain medications and supplements as advised
- Avoiding nicotine products for at least 4 weeks before and after surgery
- Arranging for someone to drive you home post-procedure
The Day of Surgery
On the day of your procedure, you’ll be welcomed into our state-of-the-art surgical facility. Here’s what you can expect:
- Anesthesia: Depending on the extent of your procedure, you’ll receive either general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation.
- The Procedure: Dr. K will use advanced liposuction techniques to carefully remove excess fat and sculpt your midsection. This typically involves:
- Making small, strategically placed incisions (3-5 mm)
- Injecting a tumescent solution to minimize bleeding, discomfort, and facilitate fat removal
- Using specialized cannulas to remove fat and contour your body
- Completion: The procedure usually takes 2–4 hours, depending on the areas being treated.
Recovery and Aftercare
After your surgery, our care for you continues. Here’s what the recovery process typically looks like:
- Immediate Post-Op: You’ll wear compression garments to minimize swelling and support your new contours.
- First Few Days: Expect some discomfort, swelling, and bruising. We’ll provide pain management guidance to ensure your comfort. Lymphatic massage may be recommended to help reduce swelling and improve circulation during recovery.
- 1–2 Weeks: Most patients return to work and light activities.
- 4–6 Weeks: You can gradually resume more strenuous activities.
- 3–6 Months: Final results become apparent as swelling fully subsides.
Remember, everyone’s recovery journey is unique. We’ll provide personalized aftercare instructions and be available to address any concerns throughout your healing process.
Results
The transformation is not just physical—it’s often emotional and psychological too. As your body heals and your new contours emerge, you may notice:
- A more defined waistline
- Smoother, flatter abdomen
- Reduced love handles and back rolls
- Improved proportion and balance in your overall figure
Many of our patients report feeling more confident in their clothes and more comfortable in their own skin. However, it’s important to remember that final results take time to fully manifest.
Timeline of Results
- Immediate: While you’ll see a difference right after surgery, initial swelling may obscure some results.
- 1–3 Months: As swelling subsides, your new contours will become more apparent.
- 3–6 Months: Most patients see their final results around this time, with fully settled tissues and minimal residual swelling.
Maintaining Your Results
To maintain your results long-term, it’s essential to adopt a healthy lifestyle that includes a balanced diet and regular exercise routine.
Staying well-hydrated supports skin elasticity and overall health, while protecting your skin from sun damage helps maintain its quality and appearance. Don’t forget to attend all scheduled post-operative appointments with Dr. K to ensure optimal healing and results.
Remember, while 360 Liposuction removes fat cells permanently, remaining fat cells can still expand with significant weight gain. Maintaining a stable weight is key to preserving your results.
Complementary Procedures
Several different techniques can be combined for enhanced results. For instance, a Brazilian Butt Lift uses the removed fat to enhance buttock shape, often resulting in a more defined hourglass figure.
Renuvion J-Plasma tightens skin using helium gas and radiofrequency energy, while abdominal etching highlights abdominal muscles for a more defined look.
For patients with excess skin, a tummy tuck can be performed alongside 360 Liposuction, potentially leading to more dramatic improvements in body contour.
During your consultation, we’ll discuss whether combining procedures might help you achieve your ideal aesthetic goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much weight can I lose with 360 Liposuction?
While surgery can remove approximately 4 to 5 liters of fat (about 8 to 10 pounds), it’s important to understand that this procedure is not a weight loss solution. It’s designed for body contouring and shaping rather than significant weight reduction.
Will I have scars after Surgery?
The procedure involves small incisions, typically just 3–5 millimeters long. These usually heal into very minimal scars that fade over time and are often barely noticeable.
How long do results last?
The fat cells removed during surgery are gone permanently. However, maintaining a stable weight through diet and exercise is crucial for long-lasting results, as remaining fat cells can still expand with significant weight gain.
Is 360 Liposuction painful?
While you may experience some discomfort during recovery, most patients find it manageable with prescribed pain medication. Many describe the sensation as soreness, similar to the feeling after an intense workout.
How soon can I return to work after Surgery?
Most patients return to desk jobs within 7–10 days. However, those with more physically demanding occupations may need 3–4 weeks before returning to full duties.
