Sculpt Your Entire Midsection — No Angle Left Behind
Lipo 360 in Ottawa with Dr. Mehrad Jaberi
You look good from the front. Maybe. But then you turn to the side and those flanks tell a different story. Or you catch yourself in a photo from behind and wonder where your waist went. Standard liposuction can treat one area at a time, but your body doesn't exist one angle at a time — it exists in 360 degrees. Shouldn't your contouring do the same?
Lipo 360 treats your entire midsection in a single procedure — abdomen, love handles, flanks, and back — creating a smooth, proportionate contour from every angle. It's the difference between fixing one wall of a room and renovating the whole thing. When Dr. Jaberi sculpts all the way around, the result looks natural, balanced, and genuinely impressive.

What Is Lipo 360?
Lipo 360 — short for 360-degree liposuction — is a comprehensive body contouring procedure that removes stubborn fat from your entire midsection: the upper and lower abdomen, flanks (love handles), and lower back. Instead of treating these as separate areas, Dr. Jaberi addresses them as one connected zone, sculpting a smooth, proportionate contour that flows naturally from front to back.
Here's why that matters: fat doesn't accumulate in neat, isolated pockets. It deposits across connected areas. If you only treat the front, the untouched flanks and back create an unnatural transition. Lipo 360 eliminates those transition zones by treating everything — creating a waistline that looks good from every angle, in every outfit, and in every photo.
The procedure uses tumescent liposuction technique. Dr. Jaberi infuses the treatment areas with a solution that numbs them and minimizes bleeding, then uses a cannula to precisely remove fat. The tiny incisions (3–4mm) are placed in hidden locations and typically heal to nearly invisible marks.
Important to understand: Lipo 360 is a sculpting procedure, not a weight-loss tool. It works best when you're near your goal weight but have stubborn fat deposits that won't respond to diet and exercise. If you have significant loose skin, you may need a tummy tuck instead of (or in addition to) liposuction.
Is Lipo 360 Right for You?
Lipo 360 is ideal if:
- You have stubborn fat around your midsection (abdomen, flanks, back) that won't budge with diet and exercise
- Your skin still has good elasticity — it will retract after fat removal
- You're at or near your goal weight (within 10–15 pounds)
- You want a proportionate, all-around improvement — not just one area
- You're in good overall health with no major medical conditions
- You understand this is contouring, not weight loss
If you grab your belly and there's loose, hanging skin with a lack of elasticity, liposuction alone won't give you the flat result you want — you'll likely need a tummy tuck. Dr. Jaberi will assess your skin during consultation and give you an honest recommendation.
What to Expect — From Love Handles to Waistline
Your Consultation
Dr. Jaberi will evaluate your fat distribution from every angle — front, side, and back. He'll assess your skin quality (elasticity is key for lipo), your body composition, and discuss your goals. He uses a combination of visual assessment and physical examination to design a sculpting plan specific to your anatomy.
He'll also discuss whether lipo 360 alone is enough, or whether combining with J-Plasma skin tightening or even a tummy tuck would give you a better result. Honest recommendations, not upselling.
Surgery Day
The procedure takes 2 to 3 hours under general anesthesia or deep sedation. You'll be positioned to allow access to all 360 degrees of your midsection. Tumescent fluid is infused, and the fat is removed methodically — Dr. Jaberi sculpts gradually, assessing symmetry and contour repeatedly throughout. You go home the same day in your compression garment.
Recovery Timeline
Sore, swollen, and leaking tumescent fluid (this is normal — it actually means less bruising). Walk gently. Compression garment stays on. Rest, hydrate, and let your body begin healing.
Swelling and bruising peak. You'll feel stiff and tender, especially around the flanks and back. Light daily activities resume. Most people feel well enough for desk work by day 5–7.
Significantly improved. Swelling starts declining noticeably. You can already see contouring improvements. Light cardio (walking, stationary bike) can begin. Compression garment continues.
Exercise resumes more fully. Compression garment can transition to part-time. The sculpted shape is becoming clearer. Daily swelling fluctuations are normal — better in the morning, puffier by evening.
Final results emerge as swelling fully resolves and skin retracts. The smooth, proportionate 360° contour is fully realized. This is when patients start buying all new clothes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Dr. Jaberi typically removes up to 5 liters safely in one session. The exact amount depends on your body habitus, fat distribution, and overall health. Remember — the goal is sculpting and proportioning, not maximum extraction. Sometimes removing less yields a better aesthetic result because it allows for smooth transitions and natural contours.
It comes down to skin. If your skin is firm and elastic, lipo 360 removes the fat and your skin shrinks to fit the new contour. If your skin is loose, hanging, or you have separated muscles, you need a tummy tuck to remove that skin and repair the wall. Many patients combine both — tummy tuck for the front, lipo for the flanks and back. Dr. Jaberi will tell you exactly what makes sense for your body.
4 to 6 weeks — 24/7 initially, then transitioning to daytime-only as healing progresses. Yes, it's annoying. But the compression is genuinely important: it reduces swelling, prevents fluid collections, helps skin retract evenly, and improves your final contour. Think of it as an investment in your results.
You'll see a noticeable improvement within 2 to 3 weeks as initial swelling subsides. But the final, refined result takes 3 to 6 months. Swelling is the biggest factor — it comes and goes, fluctuates day to day, and gradually resolves. Be patient. The contour at month 4 looks significantly better than month 1. Some patients continue refining up to 12 months.
Yes. Fat cells that are removed are gone permanently — they don't regenerate. However, the remaining fat cells can still expand if you gain weight. Maintaining a stable weight protects your results. If you do gain weight, it tends to distribute differently than before — sometimes in untreated areas. That's why Lipo 360 works best for people committed to maintaining their weight.
Starting at $9,000 with Dr. Jaberi. The cost depends on the extent of treatment — how many areas, how much fat, and the technique used. Adding J-Plasma for skin tightening increases the cost. A transparent, itemized quote is provided after your consultation.
