Dr. Raymond Jean offers Lipo 360 at our plastic surgery center in Bryn Mawr. This procedure sculpts and contours the entire midsection for a harmonious silhouette. If diet and exercise have left you with stubborn pockets of fat that obscure your natural shape, Lipo 360 can help you finally see the definition you deserve.
Lipo 360 – short for 360-degree liposuction – is a body-contouring procedure that removes stubborn fat from the entire midsection in a single surgery. Unlike traditional liposuction, which targets a single area, Lipo 360 addresses the abdomen, flanks (love handles), lower back, and waistline simultaneously. The result is a smooth transformation visible from every angle, rather than a “spot-treated” appearance.
Lipo 360 uses advanced liposuction techniques, including SmartLipo, which combines traditional liposuction with laser-assisted technology. This technology helps loosen and remove fat cells through small incisions. The laser energy also promotes tissue tightening, encouraging the skin to contract smoothly over your new contours. Other advanced technologies that may be used during Lipo 360 are VASER (ultrasonic-assisted liposuction) and PAL (power-assisted liposuction).
Dr. Raymond Jean meticulously adjusts the depth and volume of fat removal in each zone to create seamless transitions and a naturally athletic appearance.
In select cases, Dr. Raymond Jean may extend treatment to adjacent areas, such as the bra roll or upper hips, for an even more dramatic transformation.
Your journey begins with an in-depth consultation with Dr. Raymond Jean at our Bryn Mawr office. During this hour-long appointment, he will evaluate your anatomy, discuss your aesthetic goals, review your medical history, and develop a personalized surgical plan to determine if Lipo 360 is the right option for you.
Surgery is performed at the state-accredited surgery center by Dr. Raymond Jean, with board-certified anesthesiologists overseeing your comfort and safety throughout.
Dr. Jean creates small incisions strategically placed in natural creases to minimize visible scarring. These entry points are just large enough for the liposuction cannula, ensuring they heal with minimal evidence.
Using advanced liposuction cannulas – supplemented by SmartLipo laser energy when appropriate – he sculpts each zone of the midsection with precision. Fat is removed in carefully calibrated amounts, and contours are continuously assessed to ensure symmetry and smooth definition.
You will wear a compression garment immediately after surgery to reduce swelling, support your new contours, and promote skin retraction. Patients can typically shower 48 hours after the procedure using regular soap and water, patting dry and reapplying compression. You will receive detailed instructions on how to care for your incisions and manage discomfort with prescribed pain medication.
Most patients take approximately two weeks off from work and daily activities. Mild swelling and bruising are normal and gradually subside over the following weeks. Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for 4-6 weeks. Your first follow-up appointment is scheduled one week after surgery so Dr. Jean can monitor your healing. You will notice progressive improvement in your contours as swelling resolves, with final results typically visible within 3-6 months.
Lipo 360 delivers a sculpted midsection – a flatter abdomen, a more defined waistline, and a smoother back – that looks natural and proportionate. Because fat cells are permanently removed, the results are long-lasting when you maintain a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle. Many patients find that clothes fit more comfortably and feel a renewed sense of confidence in their appearance.
Maintaining Results
The best candidates for Lipo 360 are individuals who are at or near their goal weight but struggle with localized fat deposits around the midsection that do not respond to a healthy lifestyle. Good skin elasticity enhances results, though laser-assisted techniques can help patients with mild skin laxity achieve a smoother outcome. Candidates should have realistic expectations about the procedure’s outcomes.
Eligibility Criteria
Dr. Jean determines final candidacy after an in-person consultation and thorough review of your medical history and current medications.

Lipo 360 is a body contouring procedure, not a weight-loss solution. It is best suited for individuals who are at or near their ideal body weight but struggle with localized fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise.
The length of surgery depends on the volume of fat being removed and the number of zones treated, but most Lipo 360 procedures take several hours to complete.
The fat cells removed during Lipo 360 are permanently gone. However, maintaining a stable weight through a healthy diet and regular exercise is crucial for preserving your contoured results and preventing remaining fat cells from expanding.
Most patients experience swelling, bruising, and some discomfort, which can be managed with medication. A compression garment must be worn for several weeks. Light activities can be resumed relatively quickly, with strenuous exercise avoided for 4 to 6 weeks, as advised by Dr. Jean.
Incisions are very small and placed in discreet locations. Over time, they typically fade to barely noticeable marks.
Yes. Many patients combine Lipo 360 with a tummy tuck or other body contouring procedures for a more comprehensive transformation. Dr. Jean will discuss your options during your consultation.
No. Lipo 360 is a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by insurance. Flexible financing options are available to help make treatment accessible.
Initial improvements are visible once swelling subsides in the first few weeks, with final results developing over three to six months.
