Achieving the smooth curves and sculpted figure you’ve always wanted is possible with Lipo 360! This increasingly popular, minimally invasive procedure offers patients in and around Philadelphia a powerful way to sculpt their midsection and enhance their natural contours. At The Lumen Center, we use advanced laser-assisted liposuction to eliminate stubborn fat, tighten the skin, and create dramatic, balanced results.
Also known as circumferential liposuction, Lipo 360 addresses the front, back, and sides of the torso in a single procedure. It’s a highly effective option for patients looking to achieve a slimmer waist, smoother silhouette, and a more proportionate appearance. With Dr. Andrew Kwak’s skillful combination of surgical expertise and artistic eye, Lipo 360 delivers stunning, natural-looking outcomes tailored to your unique body shape.
Lipo 360 at The Lumen Center is performed using laser liposuction, a modern, minimally invasive technique that targets and melts fat with precision while promoting skin tightening. During the procedure, Dr. Kwak infuses the treatment area with a local anesthetic to keep you comfortable. Then, he makes a tiny incision, less than 2mm, through which a thin cannula with a laser fiber is inserted into the fat layer.
The laser energy loosens and liquefies fat cells, making them easier to remove and causing less trauma to surrounding tissues. This process not only minimizes bruising and swelling but also stimulates collagen production, which helps the skin tighten and smooth over time. Up to 90% of subcutaneous fat can be removed during the procedure, depending on your individual needs and goals.
Lipo 360 focuses on sculpting the entire midsection, including:
Previously, these areas were often treated separately, but now they can be addressed together in one session for a more complete, harmonious transformation. Depending on your goals, Lipo 360 can also be combined with additional liposuction on the arms, thighs, upper back, chin, or neck, and may be part of a mommy makeover when paired with natural breast augmentation or a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL).
What sets Lipo 360 apart from traditional liposuction is its comprehensive approach. Traditional lipo typically targets one specific area, like just the abdomen or just the flanks. In contrast, Lipo 360 contours the full torso in one treatment, creating smoother transitions between areas and enhancing the overall shape of the body.
Plus, at The Lumen Center, Lipo 360 is performed using laser-assisted technology, which offers several advantages over traditional methods:
The result is a more refined, toned, and natural-looking physique—without the extended downtime or scarring of more invasive surgeries.
Lipo 360 is ideal for individuals who are in good health and near their target weight but have stubborn fat around the midsection that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise. Ideal candidates typically:
During your consultation at The Lumen Center, Dr. Kwak will evaluate your anatomy, lifestyle, and goals to determine if Lipo 360 is right for you.
Lipo 360 is an outpatient procedure, so you’ll return home the same day. The treatment typically takes between 2 to 4 hours, depending on the number of areas treated and the volume of fat removed.
What to Expect After the Procedure:
Because the laser helps cauterize blood vessels and encourages collagen production, recovery tends to be faster and smoother compared to traditional lipo techniques.
At The Lumen Center, our patients have experienced incredible transformations following Lipo 360. The results are often visible within a few weeks, with continued improvement over time. You can expect:
For an even more dramatic transformation, Lipo 360 can be combined with a BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift). During this combo procedure, Dr. Kwak uses the fat harvested during liposuction to enhance the volume and shape of the buttocks—creating that coveted S-curve silhouette and a more defined contrast between the waist and hips.
