Smoother, Sharper, More You
You know that feeling when your clothes technically fit, but nothing lies quite right? The waistband pinches in one spot, or the back of your shirt bunches up for no reason, and you end up tugging and adjusting all day. It’s not about size. It’s shape. That’s where Lipo 360 can come in. It’s not a dramatic fix, it’s a body contouring procedure that brings your shape back into balance. If you’ve been eating clean, staying active, and still feel like certain spots just hold on to stubborn fat, this kind of comprehensive approach could be worth looking into.
At West Empire Aesthetics in Los Angeles, we take time with every person who walks through our doors. Dr. Rizvi and the team treat people like people, not cases. The vibe is calm, discreet, and detail-driven. No hard sells, no pressure. Just real, thoughtful care from a plastic surgeon with deep experience in both plastic surgery and reconstructive surgery.

Precision, In 360 Degrees
Lipo 360 is a type of circumferential liposuction that targets the full midsection, your abdomen, flanks, and back, in one comprehensive surgical procedure. Instead of just treating a single area, Lipo 360 looks at your body shape from every angle and helps create smoother transitions and improved body contours. This isn’t a weight loss procedure and isn’t about removing a significant amount of weight. It’s more about helping you refine and reshape where diet and exercise fall short. By removing stubborn fat deposits around the waistline, Lipo 360 can bring you closer to your desired body contours and a more natural appearance.
The procedure is usually done using tumescent liposuction, which involves injecting a saline-based solution that helps loosen fat cells, reduce bleeding, and protect blood vessels and underlying tissues. Dr. Rizvi may also use energy-assisted liposuction techniques to improve results and support a smoother healing process. The goal is subtle, natural-looking sculpting that fits your frame, not a dramatic shift that doesn’t feel like you.
What Is the Difference Between Lipo 360 and Traditional Liposuction?
Traditional liposuction is still one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in Los Angeles. It’s great for targeting specific body areas, like the lower abdomen, outer thighs, or upper arms, where unwanted fat tends to collect. This method works well if you have a focused area you'd like to slim down, especially if you’ve reached your goal weight and your skin elasticity is good.
That said, treating only one area at a time can sometimes leave small irregularities or disrupt the overall balance of your body shape. When treated areas don’t match the surrounding ones, the results might not feel quite as smooth or cohesive.
Lipo 360 takes a more connected approach. By addressing multiple treatment areas in one surgical procedure, front, sides, and back, it creates more even transitions and a more refined hourglass figure. This body contouring approach works especially well if you’ve had a significant weight loss or are close to your goal weight but still carry stubborn fat around your midsection.
Many patients choose to combine Lipo 360 with other procedures like fat transfer to the hips or a Brazilian Butt Lift to enhance curves and achieve more dramatic, balanced results.
Contour That Feels Right
Most patients who choose Lipo 360 aren’t trying to be someone new. They just want to feel a little more polished, more in sync with how they carry themselves day to day.
Benefits of Lipo 360 may include:
When Effort Needs Precision
If you’re dealing with stubborn fat in your waistline or flanks, even after consistent workouts and healthy eating, Lipo 360 might be a great fit. This procedure is best for people who are already at or near a stable weight but want a more sculpted, streamlined look. You should be in generally good health, have firm skin with decent elasticity (loose skin may need to be addressed separately), and realistic expectations about the results.
People who’ve had a significant weight loss or are dealing with excess skin might benefit from combining Lipo 360 with other surgical procedures like a tummy tuck or body lift. This isn’t a weight loss solution, but it can absolutely help remove fat that’s been hard to lose. Dr. Rizvi will walk you through the options during your personal consultation, and help you figure out if this is the right step or if something else, like skin tightening or a fat grafting procedure, might be better.
The Shape Is In The Details
Lipo 360 is performed in our fully accredited Los Angeles office. The procedure usually takes two to four hours, depending on how much fat is being removed and which areas are treated. Dr. Rizvi will use either local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, based on your comfort and treatment plan. Small incisions are made strategically around the waist, and liposuctioned fat is removed using precision tools that protect blood vessels and minimize trauma to the surrounding tissue. If you're also getting a fat transfer or Brazilian Butt Lift, the harvested fat will be purified and injected into specific areas for enhanced curves.
Results, Recovery, and Aftercare
After the procedure, most patients go home the same day with a compression garment in place to reduce swelling and support the treated areas.
The first week will be your most limited: light movement is encouraged, but no strenuous activity. Swelling, bruising, and soreness are all normal during the early recovery period. Most people are back to daily activities within seven to ten days, and back to workouts in four to six weeks, depending on how your body heals.
Final results can take a few months to fully show as the swelling fades and your skin settles over the new shape. Dr. Rizvi will show you how to care for your incisions, minimize fluid collections, and avoid complications like blood clots or skin irregularities. With proper aftercare and a steady, healthy lifestyle, your results can last for years.
Artistry Backed By Experience
Dr. Mort Rizvi is one of the few plastic surgeons in Southern California board-certified in plastic, craniofacial, and reconstructive surgery. With over three decades of experience, he approaches each case with surgical precision and a calm, honest perspective.
Many patients say what stands out most is how he listens. He won’t push procedures or overpromise. Instead, you’ll get a clear plan based on your actual body, your goals, and what’s safe and realistic for you.
At West Empire Aesthetics, we’ve created a quiet, high-end space where body contouring treatments feel comfortable, private, and fully personalized. Whether you’re coming from nearby Los Angeles or the Beverly Hills area, you’ll feel supported and understood from your first visit through the healing process.
What You’re Paying For
The cost of Lipo 360 can vary depending on a few key factors, like the specific areas being treated, the amount of excess fat being removed, whether additional procedures such as fat grafting are included, and the type of anesthesia required. Your quote will reflect a full, personalized treatment plan. That includes Dr. Rizvi’s surgical and facility fees, anesthesia (whether local or general), your compression garment and post-op supplies, and all pre- and post-operative care. Because every body is different, pricing is tailored to your anatomy, goals, and overall plan. During your consultation, we’ll walk you through everything clearly so you’ll know exactly what’s included.
