Liposuction 360
Conveniently located to serve the areas of Houston, TX
Liposuction 360, also known as 360 Lipo or Lipo360, is a treatment that sculpts the body by removing pockets of excess fat from multiple areas during a single treatment session or staged sessions. (1)
Many people find that despite healthy eating and regular exercise, certain areas of fat remain around one or multiple spots on the body. Genetics, age, and lifestyle all contribute to these persistent trouble spots, and they can be a frustrating experience for many. If you are struggling with this, you could be an ideal candidate for Liposuction 360. Liposuction 360 is a transformative body contouring procedure that can target stubborn fat across the upper abdomen, lower abdomen, love handles, and back in one treatment. By addressing the entire midsection, Lipo360 creates a smoother, more sculpted silhouette from every angle.

About Liposuction 360
Liposuction is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures in the world (2), and Lipo360 is an advanced variation that treats the entire circumference of the midsection. Instead of focusing on one area at a time, Liposuction 360 sculpts the body completely by addressing the abdomen, flanks, and back in one comprehensive procedure. This approach ensures a balanced, natural-looking result with enhanced body proportions. Dr. Hennessy’s innovative Lipo360 techniques erase the need for general anesthesia. Patients are kept awake throughout the procedure but receive local anesthetics to ensure comfort. This results in a reduced set of risks for the patient as well as minimized recovery periods in many cases.

Preparation
As with any procedure, proper preparation is essential for a successful Lipo360 treatment. Dr. Hennessy and his team will provide you with detailed instructions to help ensure you feel confident and ready going into your treatment. Common steps include discontinuing medications and supplements with blood-thinning properties, avoiding nicotine, staying hydrated, and arranging for transportation after your procedure. Dr. Hennessy also recommends that you plan for a few days off from work or strenuous activities to prioritize healing. Following the guidelines given to you by Dr. Hennessy will help put you in the best position possible for a successful treatment.
Procedure
On the day of your Lipo360 procedure, Dr. Hennessy will use tumescent fluid to completely numb the treatment areas. This method not only ensures comfort but also minimizes the risk of bleeding and speeds up recovery. Once you have been given the proper amount of anesthesia, Dr. Hennessy will make discreet incisions around the abdomen, love handles, and back, and then insert a thin cannula to carefully remove fat and sculpt your new shape. Because Dr. Hennessy specializes in liposuction alone, his techniques are highly refined, resulting in smoother, more natural-looking contours. The entire procedure is typically completed within a few hours, and patients can return home the same day.
Recovery
During their recovery, most patients experience some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort for the first few days. You may be given a compression garment to aid your healing process. Patients can often resume light activity within a few days, but it is important to avoid strenuous exercise until cleared by Dr. Hennessy. Over time, swelling will subside, and the new contours will become more apparent, revealing a sleeker, more confident version of yourself. Dr. Hennessy and his team will be available to guide you through every step of your recovery and answer any questions you may have.
Results
Patients typically begin seeing improvements as early as a few weeks after surgery, with final results becoming visible within three to six months as swelling fully resolves. Many patients report feeling more confident in their new bodies.
With proper diet and exercise, the results of Lipo360 can be long-lasting. As liposuction is one of the most popular procedures performed worldwide, it is associated with high patient satisfaction rates. (3)
