After your consultation with Dr. Anh-Tuan Truong or Dr. Kevin Lin, you’ll receive a personalized quote based on your goals, anatomy, and surgical plan.

What Is Lipo 360?
Lipo 360 is a minimally invasive surgical liposuction procedure that removes fat from the waistline, torso, and abdomen. The “360” means your surgeon targets the upper and lower abdomen, flanks (love handles), and lower back all at once. Instead of focusing on one spot, it treats both the front and back of your midsection to create balanced, natural-looking results.
At Chicago Breast & Body, Lipo 360 is typically performed using VASER ultrasound-assisted liposuction. VASER uses a thin cannula to break up fat with ultrasound energy before gently removing it. This approach can help:
- Remove dense or fibrous fat more efficiently
- Improve contour and definition
- Provide a mild tightening effect for smoother results
Lipo 360 Can Address Stubborn Fat in Many Areas
- Upper and lower abdomen
- Love handles (flanks)
- Lower back
- Bra rolls or armpit fat (axilla)
- Arms as add-on
- Thighs as add-on
- Neck or chin as add-on
- Buffalo hump as add-on
- Mons pubis area

What Drives the 360 Lipo Cost?
Your total price for Lipo 360 will vary based on several factors.
Your personalized surgical plan. No two procedures are exactly alike. Dr. Truong or Dr. Lin creates a customized plan specific to your body and goals.
Number of areas treated. More areas mean more time in surgery, and more time means higher operating room and anesthesia costs. That said, treating multiple areas in one session is more cost-effective than scheduling separate surgeries.
Larger volume cases also take longer in the OR, which adds to facility and anesthesia time. If you need more fat removed, expect a longer procedure and a higher fee.
Technique used. VASER ultrasound-assisted liposuction and Renuvion skin tightening require specialized equipment and additional surgical time, which can increase the fee.
Board-certified surgeons with high case volume and specialized training typically charge more. That investment often means better outcomes and fewer complications.
Location. The 360 lipo cost in Chicago will not be the same as in Miami, Los Angeles, or New York due to differences in cost of living, demand, and market pricing.
Can Lipo 360 Be Combined with Other Procedures?
Yes. Lipo 360 pairs well with other procedures so you can address multiple concerns in one surgery:
- Renuvion J-Plasma: Advanced skin tightening for smoother contours
- VASER Hi-Def: Abdominal etching to highlight muscle definition
- Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL): Transfer fat removed during lipo to add volume and shape to the buttocks
- Tummy Tuck: Remove excess skin along with fat for patients with loose skin
- Mommy Makeover: Combine body contouring with breast surgery
When paired with a healthy lifestyle, weight stability, and regular exercise, your results can last for many years.
Lipo 360 Recovery Timeline
Planning ahead for recovery makes a real difference. Here’s a general timeline:
| Timeframe | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| Days 1-3 | Most swelling and soreness. Rest at home, wear compression garment 24/7. |
| Days 4-7 | Gradual improvement. Light walking encouraged. Most patients feel well enough to move around the house. |
| Week 2 | Many patients return to desk work. Bruising begins to fade. |
| Weeks 3-4 | Light exercise may resume with surgeon approval. Swelling continues to decrease. |
| Months 2-3 | Noticeable improvement in contour. Most daily activities fully resumed. |
| Months 3-6 | Final results become visible as remaining swelling resolves. |

Red Flags in Lipo 360 Pricing
Not all quotes are created equal. Here are warning signs to watch for when comparing 360 lipo cost across providers:
- Unusually low prices. If a quote is significantly below the market range, ask what’s excluded. Some clinics leave out anesthesia, facility fees, or follow-up visits and add them later.
- No in-person consultation. A surgeon who quotes you a price without examining you can’t give you an accurate number. Your body, goals, and anatomy all affect cost.
- No accredited facility. Make sure your procedure will be performed in an accredited surgical facility, not an office setting without proper safety protocols.
- Pressure to book immediately. Reputable practices give you time to make your decision. High-pressure sales tactics are a red flag.
- No board-certified surgeon. Always verify your surgeon’s board certifications. This matters for safety, technique, and outcomes.
Financing Options for Lipo 360
Chicago Breast & Body offers financing through CareCredit, Cherry, and Alphaeon, so you don’t have to pay for your procedure all at once.
All three options let you break your cost into monthly payments. Some plans offer interest-free terms if the balance is paid before a set date. Others carry a monthly interest charge. Make sure you understand your financing terms so you can budget your total cost accurately.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does 360 lipo cost per area?
Individual areas typically range from $3,000 to $6,500 and up each. Treating multiple areas together reduces the per-area cost. Lipo 360, which covers four areas (abdomen, flanks, lower back), starts at $8,995*.
Does insurance cover 360 lipo?
No. Liposuction is considered a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by insurance. Financing options through CareCredit, Cherry, and Alphaeon can help you break the cost into monthly payments.
How long do liposuction results last?
Results can last for many years if you maintain a stable weight. The fat cells removed don’t come back, but remaining cells can expand if you gain weight.
Is Lipo 360 worth the cost?
Yes, for patients who are near their goal weight but struggle with stubborn fat that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise. The fat cells removed are gone permanently, and the body shape improvements last as long as you maintain a stable weight. The investment pays off when you choose an experienced, board-certified surgeon.
What’s the recovery time for Lipo 360?
Most patients return to desk work in about two weeks and light exercise in 3-4 weeks. Full recovery takes 4-6 weeks, and final results are visible once swelling fully resolves at 3-6 months. See our liposuction recovery guide and recovery supplies list to help you prepare.
Can I get liposuction if I’m overweight?
Ideal candidates are within a reasonable weight range, typically BMI 30 or below. Patients with higher BMI may still be candidates depending on their health status and goals. Use our BMI calculator to check yours.
How much fat can be removed with Lipo 360?
The safe limit is generally 4-5 liters of fat in one session. Your surgeon will recommend what’s appropriate for your body and goals.
What’s the difference between Lipo 360 and a tummy tuck?
Lipo 360 removes fat but doesn’t remove skin. A tummy tuck removes excess skin and tightens abdominal muscles. If you have loose skin (from pregnancy or significant weight loss), you may need a tummy tuck or a combination of both. Our post on liposuction vs. tummy tuck breaks this down in detail.
Can liposuction be done awake?
Most liposuction procedures, especially Lipo 360, are done under general anesthesia. This allows your surgeon to treat multiple areas thoroughly and keeps you comfortable during a procedure that can last several hours. Learn more about anesthesia options.
What’s the difference between VASER lipo and regular liposuction?
VASER liposuction uses ultrasound energy to break up fat before removal. This allows for more precise sculpting and a mild skin-tightening effect. Standard liposuction uses suction alone. At Chicago Breast & Body, Dr. Truong and Dr. Lin typically use VASER for Lipo 360 procedures.
Does Lipo 360 leave scars?
Lipo 360 involves small incisions (usually 3-4mm) placed in discreet locations. These typically fade significantly over time and are not easily visible once fully healed.
