Tummy Tuck with Lipo 360: The Ultimate Body Contouring Combination
A tummy tuck flattens your abdomen and tightens muscles. Lipo 360 sculpts your entire torso — flanks, back, waist, and bra rolls. Together, they create a result that neither procedure can achieve alone.
This combination is one of Dr. Nidia De Jesus’s most popular procedures in Miami — and for good reason.
What Is Lipo 360?
“360” refers to circumferential liposuction — treating the entire trunk in a 360-degree approach. Areas treated include:
- Upper and lower abdomen
- Flanks (love handles)
- Lower and upper back
- Bra roll area
- Waistline
This creates a smooth, proportional contour from every angle — not just the front view.
Why Combine Tummy Tuck + Lipo 360?
Better Proportional Results
A tummy tuck alone addresses the front of your abdomen but doesn’t touch the flanks, back, or waist. Without lipo 360, you might have a flat stomach but persistent love handles and back fat — creating an unbalanced look.
Cost Savings
Having both procedures in one session saves:
- One anesthesia fee ($1,500–$2,500)
- One facility fee ($1,000–$3,000)
- One recovery period instead of two
One Recovery Period
Why go through recovery twice when you can heal from both procedures at once? With Dr. De Jesus’s included clinic recovery, your aftercare is fully covered regardless of how many procedures you combine.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
- Patients with both excess abdominal skin AND stubborn fat in the flanks/back
- Post-pregnancy patients (this combo is the core of many mommy makeovers)
- Weight loss patients with remaining fat deposits and loose skin
- Patients wanting a comprehensive transformation in one session
Tummy Tuck + Lipo 360 vs. Tummy Tuck Alone
| Feature | Tummy Tuck Only | Tummy Tuck + Lipo 360 |
|---|---|---|
| Areas treated | Front abdomen | Full 360° torso |
| Flanks addressed | ❌ No | ✅ Yes |
| Back fat removed | ❌ No | ✅ Yes |
| Waist definition | Moderate | Dramatic |

| Recovery | 2–3 weeks | 2–4 weeks |
| Cost | $7,000–$12,000 | $10,000–$16,000 |
Can You Add a BBL?
Yes — the fat removed during lipo 360 can be purified and transferred to the buttocks for a Brazilian Butt Lift. This triple combination (tummy tuck + lipo 360 + BBL) is one of the most dramatic body transformations available.
Recovery
Recovery is similar to a tummy tuck alone, with some additional soreness in the liposuction areas. Lymphatic massage is especially important after lipo 360 to prevent fibrosis and ensure smooth results. Dr. De Jesus includes 7 sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much fat can be removed with lipo 360?
Safety guidelines limit fat removal to about 5 liters (11 lbs) in a single session. Dr. De Jesus determines the safe maximum based on your body size and health.
Will the fat come back after lipo 360?
The removed fat cells don’t regenerate. However, remaining fat cells can expand with significant weight gain. Maintaining a stable weight preserves your results long-term.
