An Introduction

Lipo 360 is comprehensive liposuction that treats the full circumference of the midsection in a single session — the abdomen, both flanks (love handles), and the lower back. Rather than addressing one isolated area, Dr. Carlos Mata (Dr. Scottsdale®) sculpts the torso all the way around, producing the balanced, hourglass result that targeted liposuction alone can't achieve. It's frequently performed using VASER technology for precise fat emulsification and smoother contours.

01
The Procedure

What is Lipo 360?

Lipo 360 removes unwanted fat from the entire midsection — upper and lower abdomen, the flanks, and the lower back — in one coordinated procedure. By treating all the way around, Dr. Mata creates a defined waist and a smooth transition between the front and back of the torso.

Fat is removed through small, well-hidden incisions using thin cannulas. Many patients choose VASER-assisted liposuction, which uses ultrasound energy to gently liquefy fat before removal — easier on surrounding tissue and capable of higher-definition sculpting.

02
Enhancement

Lipo 360 with Fat Transfer (BBL)

The fat removed during Lipo 360 can be purified and transferred to the buttocks in the same session — the foundation of a Brazilian Butt Lift. This pairing slims the waist and enhances the buttocks at once, maximizing the hourglass effect.

Lipo 360 also complements a tummy tuck for patients who need both fat removal and skin tightening.

03
What Happens

The Procedure Step-by-Step

Anesthesia — Performed in our accredited Scottsdale surgical suite under general anesthesia or local with sedation, depending on the volume treated.

Incisions — Several tiny access points are placed in natural creases around the torso.

Fat Removal — Fat is emulsified and suctioned in a smooth, even pattern around the full circumference for a sculpted, natural contour.

Compression — A compression garment is applied immediately to shape the tissue and control swelling.

Benefits

Why Lipo 360

  • 01Sculpts the entire midsection — abdomen, flanks, and lower back
  • 02Creates a defined, hourglass waistline
  • 03Smoother, more natural result than spot-treating one area
  • 04Removed fat can be transferred to the buttocks (BBL)
  • 05Faster return to work than open surgery
  • 06Long-lasting with a stable weight
Candidacy

Is This Right For You?

You may be a candidate if...
  • Stubborn midsection fat resistant to diet and exercise
  • Good skin elasticity to retract over the new contour
  • Within a healthy, stable weight range
  • Non-smoking and in good general health
  • Realistic expectations — liposuction sculpts, it is not weight loss
This may not be right if...
  • —Significant loose abdominal skin (a tummy tuck may be needed instead or in addition)
  • —Using liposuction as a substitute for weight loss

Candidacy is ultimately a conversation. Dr. Mata will determine the right path at consultation.

Recovery

What to Expect

Every patient heals at their own pace. These milestones offer a realistic roadmap based on hundreds of procedures performed by Dr. Mata.

  1. Days 1–3

    Compression garment worn continuously; expect soreness and fluid drainage from incision sites.

  2. Week 1

    Most patients return to desk work. Swelling and bruising begin to settle.

  3. Weeks 2–6

    Garment continues; gradual return to exercise. Contour steadily emerges.

  4. Months 2–6

    Final sculpted result appears as residual swelling fully resolves.

Frequently Asked

Common Questions

01What's the difference between Lipo 360 and regular liposuction?+

Regular liposuction targets one or two areas. Lipo 360 treats the full circumference of the midsection — front, sides, and back — so the result is balanced all the way around.

02Will the fat come back?+

Fat cells removed during liposuction are gone for good. Remaining cells can still enlarge with weight gain, so maintaining a stable weight preserves your result.

03Can I combine it with a BBL?+

Yes — the fat removed can be purified and transferred to the buttocks in the same procedure, which is exactly how a Brazilian Butt Lift is performed.

04How long until I see results?+

You'll notice a difference once the garment phase ends, but the final contour emerges over 2–6 months as swelling fully resolves.
