Lipo 360 surgery in New York City performed by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Arnold Breitbart.

Tired of Stubborn Fat Around Your Midsection?

You watch your diet and exercise regularly, but fat around your waist, love handles, and back refuses to budge. Clothes fit awkwardly around the middle, even though you maintain a healthy weight and an active lifestyle.

Lipo 360 in NYC targets the entire midsection in one procedure to create balanced, smooth contours from every angle. This body sculpting approach removes stubborn fat from your abdomen, flanks, back, and waistline while creating natural-looking definition that reflects the effort you put into staying healthy.

Dr. Breitbart and New York Liposuction Center specialize in helping patients achieve the sculpted, proportionate physique they want through advanced liposuction techniques.

What to Know About Lipo 360 in New York

Lipo 360 removes fat from the entire midsection rather than just one isolated area. The procedure treats your abdomen, flanks, love handles, lower back, and mid-back in a single surgery to create smooth, balanced contours around your full torso. Dr. Breitbart uses this approach to eliminate visible transition lines between treated and untreated areas while sculpting your natural curves for a more defined waistline.

The procedure uses tumescent and power-assisted liposuction techniques to break down and remove fat cells. A solution containing saline, anesthetic, and epinephrine is injected into each treatment area to firm the fat and minimize bleeding. Small incisions are made in hidden locations, and a thin tube called a cannula is used to suction out the fat through controlled back-and-forth movements.

You’ll see immediate results after surgery as swelling decreases over the following weeks and months. Your new contours continue improving for up to six months as the treated areas fully heal and your skin retracts smoothly over your reshaped midsection.

Benefits of Lipo 360

Lipo 360 offers several benefits that can improve both your appearance and daily comfort.

  • Remove Fat From All Angles: Target stubborn deposits around your entire midsection in one procedure, including your abdomen, flanks, and back, to create balanced contours instead of isolated improvement.
  • Create Smooth, Natural Transitions: Eliminate visible lines between treated and untreated areas that single-area liposuction often creates, and achieve seamless contours that look natural from every angle.
  • Get a More Defined Waistline: Sculpt an hourglass figure or athletic V-shape by removing excess fat from your sides and back while highlighting your natural curves and body proportions.
  • Save Time With One Recovery: Address multiple lipo problem areas during a single surgery and recovery period instead of scheduling separate procedures, which reduces your total time away from work.
  • Achieve Long-Lasting Body Sculpting: Remove fat cells permanently from treated areas so your improved contours last as long as you maintain your current weight and continue healthy lifestyle habits.
  • Combine With Other Procedures Easily: Pair lipo 360 with a tummy tuck or fat transfer to enhance your overall results and address both excess fat and loose skin concerns.

Ideal Candidates for Lipo 360

Lipo 360 works best for patients who meet certain criteria and have realistic expectations about body contouring results. You should be close to your ideal weight before considering this procedure.

Multiple Midsection Problem Areas

You have stubborn fat around your entire torso, including your abdomen, flanks, and back, that persists despite regular exercise and healthy eating.

Good Skin Elasticity Throughout

Your skin can tighten naturally after fat removal across all treated areas, which prevents sagging and creates smooth contours without needing additional surgery.

Near Your Goal Weight

You maintain a stable weight within 30 pounds of your target and follow a balanced diet with exercise, as this procedure sculpts rather than replaces weight loss.

Balanced Body Proportions Desired

You want to create an hourglass figure, athletic shape, or defined waistline by addressing your entire midsection rather than just one isolated area.

No Plans for Future Pregnancy

You’ve completed your family or plan to wait until after the procedure since pregnancy can stretch your abdominal area and affect your results.

Dr. Breitbart will evaluate your candidacy for lipo 360 in NYC during your initial consultation.

What to Expect During a Consultation at Our New York Office

Your consultation begins with Dr. Breitbart examining your entire midsection to assess fat distribution and skin quality. He evaluates your abdomen, flanks, back, and waistline while discussing your specific aesthetic goals and what kind of shape you want to achieve. This physical assessment helps him determine which areas need treatment and what results you can realistically expect.

Dr. Breitbart explains how the procedure works and shows you before-and-after photos of patients with similar body types. He discusses the recovery timeline, potential risks, and any preparation steps you need to take before surgery. This is your opportunity to ask questions about the procedure, combined treatments, or expected outcomes.

Our practice reviews your medical history and creates a personalized surgical plan for your body. We provide detailed pre-operative and post-operative instructions to help you prepare properly. Our team answers all your questions and ensures you feel confident about moving forward with the procedure.

How to Prepare for Your Lipo 360

Taking the right steps before surgery helps ensure smooth results and supports faster healing. Follow these guidelines in the weeks leading up to your scheduled date.

Purchase Compression Garments

Buy a high-quality compression garment that fits your torso before your procedure date so it’s ready to wear immediately after surgery.

Arrange Extended Time Off

Plan to take at least one week off work and avoid scheduling important commitments during your first two weeks of recovery.

Stock Recovery Essentials

Get ice packs, loose comfortable clothing, prescribed medications, and easy-to-prepare meals before your procedure so everything is ready at home.

Prepare Your Sleeping Area

Set up extra pillows for elevated sleeping and arrange entertainment options since you’ll need plenty of rest during early recovery.

Stop Smoking Completely

Quit smoking at least four weeks before surgery, as tobacco restricts blood flow and increases your risk of complications and poor healing.

Follow Pre-Surgery Instructions

Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements as directed, arrange transportation home from the facility, and fast according to your anesthesia requirements.

Taking time to prepare properly for lipo 360 in New York helps your recovery go more smoothly.

The Lipo 360 Procedure

The procedure follows a structured approach that treats your entire midsection for balanced, natural-looking results. Each step builds systematically to create the defined contours you want.

Dr. Breitbart administers anesthesia to ensure you remain comfortable throughout the procedure. This sedation takes effect gradually as you relax into a calm state, and the surgical team monitors your vital signs continuously. Throughout this phase, equipment tracks your heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels while adjustments are made as needed.

The tumescent solution is injected into all treatment areas around your midsection to prepare the tissue. This fluid contains anesthetic to numb each region, epinephrine to constrict blood vessels, and saline to firm the fat deposits. As the solution disperses through your abdomen, flanks, and back, it makes fat removal easier while minimizing bleeding and bruising, which leads to smoother results and faster healing across all treated zones.

Small incisions are strategically placed in hidden locations around your torso where scars will be barely visible. These tiny openings are positioned within natural body creases and allow access to all treatment areas. The careful placement ensures that scars remain concealed under clothing and swimwear, and the minimal size of each incision reduces trauma to surrounding tissue while supporting better healing outcomes.

The cannula is inserted through the incisions and moved systematically through the fat layer in each treatment area. Power-assisted vibration breaks up the fat cells gently, and suction removes them from your abdomen, flanks, and back in a controlled manner. Our surgeon works methodically around your entire midsection to create balanced proportions, and this careful approach sculpts smooth transitions between all treated zones for natural-looking contours.

Additional passes are made to refine your shape and ensure smooth, even results across your full torso. The surgical team evaluates your emerging contours from multiple angles and makes targeted adjustments to perfect your waistline definition. Special attention goes to transition zones where treated areas meet untreated regions, and this refinement phase creates the balanced, sculpted appearance that makes lipo 360 results look seamless.

The incisions are closed with small sutures once the desired shape is achieved throughout your midsection. Sterile dressings are applied to protect each site, and a compression garment is positioned around your torso to support your new contours. You’re moved to a recovery area where medical staff monitors your emergence from anesthesia, and our team provides detailed post-operative instructions before you leave to ensure proper healing.

Procedures Often Combined With Lipo 360

Some patients combine lipo 360 with other procedures to address multiple concerns in one surgery. This approach can create more dramatic transformations and may reduce overall recovery time.

Tummy Tuck

Many patients need both fat removal and skin tightening to achieve their ideal midsection appearance. Lipo 360 removes excess fat while a tummy tuck removes loose skin and tightens abdominal muscles that pregnancy or weight loss has stretched.

The combined approach creates a flatter, more toned abdomen than either procedure alone. Dr. Breitbart performs the liposuction first to sculpt your contours, then removes excess skin and repairs muscle separation. Recovery takes longer than lipo 360 alone, but the complete transformation makes the extended healing worthwhile for many patients.

Brazilian Butt Lift

Fat removed during lipo 360 can be purified and transferred to your buttocks for added volume and shape. This combination creates an hourglass figure by slimming your waist while enhancing your curves.

The fat transfer uses your own tissue rather than implants for natural-looking results. Dr. Breitbart carefully injects the purified fat into specific areas of your buttocks to create the desired shape. Both procedures are performed in one surgery, though you’ll need to avoid sitting directly on your buttocks during early recovery to protect the transferred fat.

Mommy Makeover

Lipo 360 is often part of a mommy makeover that addresses multiple pregnancy-related body changes. This package typically includes lipo 360, a tummy tuck, and breast surgery to restore your pre-pregnancy figure.

The combination allows you to address your midsection and breasts during one surgery and recovery period. Dr. Breitbart customizes your mommy makeover based on your specific concerns and goals. Recovery takes longer than individual procedures, but addressing everything together reduces your total time away from work and family obligations.

Lipo 360 Recovery Timeline

Recovery from lipo 360 in New York varies by individual, but most patients follow a similar pattern. Your surgeon’s specific instructions should always take priority over these general guidelines.

Days 1-3

You’ll experience swelling, bruising, and soreness throughout your midsection during this period. Compression garments must be worn continuously to support healing, and you should rest frequently while avoiding any bending, twisting, or heavy lifting.

Week 1

Swelling and discomfort peak around days 3-5 then begin improving gradually as your body heals. You can return to light desk work if needed, though compression garments are required and strenuous activities remain off-limits.

Weeks 2-4

Bruising fades and swelling decreases as your new contours become more visible during this phase. You can resume light cardio like walking gradually, and compression garments may still be required for portions of the day.

Weeks 4-6

Most swelling has resolved and you can see improvements in your body shape throughout your midsection. You may return to full exercise including core workouts and weight training, building back gradually to avoid complications.

3 Months

Your final contours are nearly complete as residual swelling disappears and your skin retracts fully. The treated areas show smooth, balanced proportions from every angle, and you can appreciate the transformation achieved through surgery.

6 Months and Beyond

All healing is complete and your results are permanent with stable weight maintenance. The removed fat cells don’t regenerate, which means your improved waistline and body proportions last with proper diet and exercise.

Lipo 360 Case Study

This 30-year-old woman wanted a more sculpted and defined body shape. She had noticed persistent fat around her abdomen, flanks, and back that made her feel bulky even though she was otherwise healthy and active.

She wasn’t looking to lose weight but wanted a slimmer waist, smoother contour, and more balance throughout her midsection.

Her goal was to look better in clothes and feel more confident in a swimsuit.

Why We Used SmartLipo

For patients seeking full midsection contouring, Lipo360 with SmartLipo is often the best approach. Unlike standard liposuction, SmartLipo uses laser energy to melt the fat before removal, which helps reduce trauma, ease recovery, and tighten the skin at the same time.

When all three areas of the abdomen, flanks, and back are treated together, the results are more natural and cohesive.

How the Surgery Was Performed

This outpatient procedure was done under local anesthesia with light sedation. Small incisions were made in hidden areas near the bra line, waistline, and lower back. We used a thin laser fiber to heat and break down the fat before gently removing it with a cannula.

By addressing all sides of the torso, we were able to sculpt a smoother waistline, reduce fullness in the back, and improve the transition from abdomen to hips. The surgery took several hours, and she returned home the same day.

One Year Later

Twelve months post-op, her body shape is dramatically improved. Her waist is smaller, her stomach flatter, and her lower back significantly slimmer.

The results look balanced from every angle. She’s fitting into clothing more easily and says she finally feels comfortable in her body again.

Who Can Benefit from Lipo360

This case highlights how SmartLipo 360 can deliver a complete transformation for patients frustrated by stubborn fat in multiple areas. When done thoughtfully, it creates a more sculpted figure without making any one part look overdone.

FAQs About About Lipo 360

Here are the most common questions patients ask as they explore Lipo 360 and what the process involves.

The procedure typically takes 2-4 hours based on the amount of fat being removed and the number of areas being treated. Dr. Breitbart works methodically to ensure precision and balanced results across your full midsection. Combining lipo 360 with additional procedures like a tummy tuck increases the total surgery time.

Incisions are extremely small and strategically placed in hidden locations like your natural body creases. Scars fade significantly over time and become barely noticeable for most patients. The tiny openings required for modern liposuction result in minimal long-term scarring that remains concealed under clothing.

Safety guidelines typically recommend removing no more than 5 liters of fat in a single procedure. Dr. Breitbart prioritizes your safety over maximum volume removal. The exact amount depends on your body size, health status, and how many areas are being treated.

Most patients return to desk work within 5-7 days after surgery once initial swelling decreases. Jobs requiring physical labor or heavy lifting typically require 2-3 weeks off. Your specific recovery timeline depends on how much fat was removed and how your body heals.

Lipo 360 removes fat but doesn’t directly address loose or sagging skin around your midsection. Your skin must have good elasticity to contract naturally after fat removal. Patients with significant skin laxity may need to combine lipo 360 with a tummy tuck for optimal results.

Yes, lipo 360 is frequently combined with tummy tucks, Brazilian butt lifts, or breast procedures to create complete body transformations. Dr. Breitbart discusses which combination makes sense for your goals during consultation. Combined procedures require longer surgery time and extended recovery but address multiple concerns simultaneously.

Results are permanent as long as you maintain stable weight through diet and exercise habits. The removed fat cells don’t regenerate or return to treated areas. Significant weight gain after surgery can cause remaining fat cells to expand, but your improved proportions typically remain visible.

Most patients report moderate soreness and discomfort similar to intense muscle fatigue rather than sharp pain. Prescribed pain medication manages discomfort effectively during the first few days after surgery. Compression garments provide support and help reduce swelling, which minimizes pain as you heal.
