Liposuction 360 Brandon, FL

Unwanted fat around the midsection is one of the most common concerns for individuals in Brandon and the greater Tampa Bay area. The abdomen, waistline, and lower back tend to hold onto fat even when other parts of the body stay relatively lean. These stubborn areas can be influenced by genetics, pregnancy, weight changes, or simply how each person stores fat. Liposuction 360, often called Lipo 360, is designed to address this entire midsection.

At Sarasota Surgical Arts, Dr. Alberico J. Sessa, M.D., performs liposuction 360 with an individualized approach. Over 18 years of practice, he has performed over 25,000 surgeries. His expertise in body contouring allows him to evaluate each patient’s anatomy and goals to determine which areas will benefit most from lipo 360.

What Is Liposuction 360?

Liposuction 360 is a body-contouring procedure that uses traditional liposuction techniques to remove fat from the abdomen, flanks, waist, and lower back. The term “360” refers to treating the entire circumference of the midsection rather than focusing on a single area.

Many patients who qualify for abdominal liposuction may benefit more from Lipo 360 because small pockets of fat often exist around the sides or back as well. Treating only the stomach can leave contour irregularities, while Lipo 360 offers a more cohesive, even silhouette.

Every Lipo 360 procedure performed in Brandon is customized to the patient's body, concerns, and aesthetic goals. Lipo 360 may also be combined with other procedures such as a tummy tuck, breast surgery, or additional body contouring.

Areas Treated With Lipo 360

The exact treatment zones differ depending on the individual. Some people hold more fat in the flanks, while others accumulate volume in the lower back. Common treatment areas included:

  • Abdomen
  • Waistline
  • Flanks (“love handles”)
  • Lower back

In some cases, treatment may also extend to:

  • Upper hips
  • Mid-back

Dr. Sessa will evaluate your anatomy to determine which areas will achieve the most balanced, natural-looking contour.

Benefits of Lipo 360 for Brandon patients

Liposuction 360 offers several advantages for patients seeking full midsection contouring:

  • Removal of fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise
  • More harmonious body proportions
  • Improved waist definition
  • Enhanced visibility of natural muscle tone
  • Small, strategically hidden incisions
  • Use of one or multiple types of liposuction
  • Helpful for patients completing a weight-loss journey
  • Can address male chest fullness (gynecomastia)

Lipo 360 is not a weight-loss surgery; instead, it is a contouring procedure that refines areas many individuals struggle to change on their own.

Liposuction 360 vs. Tummy Tuck

Both liposuction 360 and tummy tuck surgeries aim to improve the abdominal area, but they address different concerns.

Lipo 360:

  • Removes excess fat
  • May create the appearance of a smoother, more contoured midsection
  • Does not remove loose skin
  • Does not tighten abdominal muscles

Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty):

  • Removes excess or sagging skin
  • Can tighten separated abdominal muscles (diastasis recti)
  • May include limited liposuction as part of the procedure

Patients with loose skin after pregnancy or significant weight loss may need a full tummy tuck or a combined approach with lipo 360. A consultation with Dr. Sessa will help find out which procedure or combination is appropriate.

Consultation for Lipo 360 for Brandon patients

Your first visit to Sarasota Surgical Arts includes:

  • A detailed discussion about your goals
  • Review of medical history
  • Physical examination of the abdomen and surrounding areas
  • Determination of candidacy
  • Personalized surgical plan
  • Transparent pricing information

Dr. Sessa will outline realistic expectations based on your unique anatomy.

Preparing for Surgery

Before your procedure, you will receive detailed pre-operative instructions. These may include:

  • Adjusting or pausing certain medications
  • Obtaining medical clearance if needed
  • Arranging time off work and support at home
  • Avoiding nicotine in the weeks before surgery

Proper preparation can help support a smoother recovery.

The Lipo 360 Procedure

Lipo 360 is typically performed under general anesthesia by a licensed anesthesia provider. Dr. Sessa may use tumescent fluid or laser assistance to break up fat for easier removal. He will make small incisions hidden in natural creases or beneath undergarments to allow the cannula to access fat around the abdomen, waist, and back.
Once fat removal is complete, he will carefully close the incisions.

Recovery After Lipo 360

In the first days after surgery, swelling and bruising are normal. You may be asked to wear a compression garment to support healing, help refine contours, and improve comfort. Here’s what you may expect:

  • Light activity is encouraged early
  • Most patients return to work in about one week
  • Bruising and swelling gradually fade over several weeks
  • Exercise and strenuous activity resume when cleared by the surgeon

Every patient heals differently, and it is important not to rush activity before your provider approves it.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Is Lipo 360 safe?

    When performed by a qualified surgeon in an accredited surgical facility, liposuction is considered a safe procedure for suitable candidates.

  • When will I see results?

    Visible changes begin early but continue improving as swelling decreases over the following weeks and months.

  • Can men get Lipo 360?

    Yes. Men often choose Lipo 360 to reduce love handles, refine the waistline, or address chest fullness.

  • What does 360 liposuction do?

    Liposuction 360 removes fat from the abdomen, waist, flanks, and lower back to improve the overall shape of the midsection. By treating the body circumferentially, it helps create a more balanced and uniform contour.

  • How much does Lipo 360 cost?

    The price of Lipo 360 varies based on factors such as the surgeon’s expertise, the extent of treatment, anesthesia fees, and the facility where the procedure is performed.

  • How long does 360 lipo last?

    The fat removed during Lipo 360 is permanently eliminated, but remaining fat cells can still expand with weight gain.

  • Is Lipo 360 very painful?

    Patients may feel soreness, tightness, or pressure during the initial recovery period, similar to recovering from other forms of liposuction. Discomfort is temporary and typically improves as swelling decreases.

  • What is the best age for 360 lipo?

    There is no specific best age for Lipo 360; candidacy is determined more by overall health, skin elasticity, and realistic expectations.

  • Which is better, Lipo 360 or a tummy tuck?

    Lipo 360 addresses excess fat, while a tummy tuck removes loose skin and may repair separated abdominal muscles. The best option depends on whether the primary concern is fat volume, skin laxity, muscle separation, or a combination of these factors.

  • Will I lose weight after Lipo 360?

    Lipo 360 is a body-contouring procedure, not a weight-loss method. While fat volume is reduced, the scale may not change significantly, and patients should view the procedure as shaping rather than weight reduction.
