Lipo360
Full circumferential body contouring
A complete approach to body contouring — sculpting the abdomen, flanks, back, and waist in a single session for a balanced, harmonious silhouette from every angle.
Sculpting in the round
Treating the midsection as a single sculpted unit — rather than isolated areas — produces the most natural results. By contouring abdomen, flanks, back, and waist together, Lipo 360 addresses how each region transitions into the next. The silhouette reads beautifully from every viewing angle.
When combined with a BBL (using the harvested fat for transfer) or a tummy tuck (for patients with loose skin), Lipo 360 becomes the foundation of a complete midsection transformation.
The art of Lipo 360
How circumferential sculpting refines the waistline
Lipo 360 lies in treating the whole silhouette — not just the front. By sculpting the torso from every angle, the waist appears narrower, the curves become cleaner, and the entire shape looks more harmonious.
Treatment Zones
- Upper abdomen — fullness above the navel and at the upper midsection
- Lower abdomen — pooch below the belly button that resists diet
- Flanks / love handles — sides of the waist where shape is lost
- Bra roll / upper back — fat pads above the bra line that disrupt the silhouette
- Lower back — rounding above the gluteal curve that flattens the waist
The Benefits of Lipo 360
- Flatter abdomen — creates a smoother, firmer midsection from front and side angles
- Narrower waist — enhances natural curves and definition through the torso
- Refined flanks — reduces love handles for a cleaner shape from the side
- Smoother back contour — improves upper-back and lower-back shape — visible from every angle
- Improved silhouette harmony — better proportion from every viewing angle
- Better definition from every angle — a true 360-degree transformation, not a single-view fix
Why circumferential makes the difference
Spot liposuction sculpts a single area; Lipo 360 treats the entire midsection as one continuous unit. By contouring abdomen, flanks, back, and waist together, the transitions between regions are seamless. The result reads beautifully whether viewed from the front, the side, the back, or anywhere in between.
The goal
A balanced, harmonious silhouette where the torso narrows naturally at the waist and curves are continuous from every angle. Often combined with a BBL (using harvested fat for transfer) or a tummy tuck for the most refined complete-midsection transformation.

Plan Your VisitIn their own words
Long post but worth the read!! I went to CG two years ago for breast augmentation and when I tell you I will never go back there…I MEAN IT. I will ONLY use Carvalho’s private office!!! I had surgery today 3/24/26. I had a tummy tuck, lipo in sides, arms and inner thighs. This was a last minute decision on my part. I decided 3 weeks ago to have this done before summer. I was originally planning on lipo 360, bbl, inner thighs and arms. But when I went to pre op yesterday, things changed. I sat down and spoke with Sara (who’s been fantastic) and Dr. Carvalho (also fantastic) he told me he would do whatever I wanted but he recommended a tuck since I’ve had two kids, that if I did the lipo I would have to come back in a year and get a tuck because if the extra skin sag. My husband and I talked it over and before even meeting with Carvalho we knew his decision on my body to look its best was gonna to be the right one. So I thought about it for an hour and decided to go with his advice and chose the tuck. I am currently in a ton of pain!! But I will say I’m 12 hours into this and it’s not as bad as it was this morning. I can’t tell you how my results look as of now but I can tell you the care I received and it was outstanding!! I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience than this one! The time and patience everyone had with me was incredible! 100/10!
I received Lipo 360 + BBL July of 2021. I am extremely pleased with my results even 2 years post op. I have gained so much confidence because of this procedure & am so thankful to have had the pleasure of meeting Dr.Carvahlo he was very nice and exceeded my surgery goals ! My wish pics are almost identical to my body now. Thanks so much again for being pleasant and working your magical hands to create something even better! A side note to all future women getting surgery. If this is your first surgery it solely depends on your initial shape to obtain the exact results you want. I already had a nice shape so he was able to to achieve it with one round. We often look for perfection in every inch of us after surgery and let me just say it will never be PERFECT. But Dr. Carvahlo molds you perfectly to be able to start with a great foundation. The GOAT.
I can’t even begin to express how happy I am with my results from Dr. Carvalho! He truly is one of the best plastic surgeons in Miami. I had my MMO and 360 Lipo BBL done with him, and the outcome is everything I dreamed of — super natural, beautifully shaped, and perfectly balanced. From my first consultation, I could tell he genuinely cares about his patients. He listened to exactly what I wanted, gave honest feedback, and made sure I felt comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. His energy is calm, kind, and professional — and his work speaks for itself! I’m so grateful I trusted Dr. Carvalho with my body. He gave me results that look natural and feel like me, just a better version. If you’re thinking about getting surgery in Miami, look no further — he’s the real deal! 💕✨
I did my lipo 360 with Dr. Carvalho about 7 weeks ago. I couldn’t be happier with my results. Dr. Carvalho and his team are the best. They answered all my questions and made me feel very comfortable with the procedure. They followed up with me to make sure I was doing ok after surgery. Dr. Carvalho is very honest and up front, he wants you to have realistic expectations and I love that about him. I think some of the other reviews have negative comments because not everyone is ready to hear an honest opinion. Thank you Dr. Carvalho, Maria, Sara and the entire team. You gave me my body confidence back after having kids.
I got Lipo 360 and BBL done by Dr. Decio Carvalho at New Image Cosmetic Surgery Center on November 3rd, 2020 so far I'm very happy with my results. I had a wonderful experience with New Image Cosmetic Surgery. Dr. Decio Carvalho is AMAZINGGG surgeon. My first prep with Dr. Carvalho was very very good. He answered all my questions I immediately felt at ease – and felt confident. and the staff was always helpful and kind. They ensured I had a smooth prep, surgery, and follow-ups. I am so glad I chose him would highly recommend to anyone.
Dr. Carvahlo is fantastic and a very skilled surgeon! He is extremely knowledgeable and takes the time to listen to you patiently and understand what you want as well as explaining expected results. I am 24 hours post op, had a lipo 360 and can’t believe how good I look and how small my waist is. My results are beyond expected and it’s only the beginning. He did an amazing job. I would highly recommend!
Hi Dr Decio Carvalho . You did my BBL last year. My result is amazing . This year , i want to come back to do lipo 360 + arm but I don’t know how to contract directly your consultant people . Last year i have to go through CG cosmetic to make schedule with you . Do i need to do the same like last year ?
I have been familiar with Dr. Décio's exceptional work for many years. A decade ago, I had my initial consultation with him, but at that time, I decided not to proceed with the procedure. However, after careful consideration, I recently concluded that the timing was right and began my search for surgeons in my area. Although I consulted with four highly regarded surgeons, my unwavering trust in Dr. Décio's expertise ultimately led me to schedule an appointment with him. During the consultation, I was deeply impressed by Dr. Décio's honesty and straightforwardness regarding the anticipated results. Moreover, nurse Sara's unwavering attentiveness and willingness to address all my inquiries and concerns left a lasting impression. Consequently, I made the decision to schedule the surgery for a month later. As the day approached, it was only natural for me to feel nervous. However, Sara's comforting presence and genuine care reassured me that I had made the right choice. Her unwavering support provided me with a sense of tranquility. The surgery was an unequivocal success, and the following day, I returned for my initial post-operative follow-up. Sara greeted me with an unforgettable smile and tended to my needs like no one else. Her calm and composed demeanor instilled a profound sense of peace within me. Truthfully, it was her presence that played a pivotal role in my decision to choose this clinic. She maintained regular contact with me through messages, consistently inquiring about my well-being. Even now, nearly a month later, she continues to send messages to check on my progress. To me, this level of care is truly invaluable. My body has exceeded all my expectations, and I am told that we have yet to reach the final outcome. Previously, I wore size L, but now I comfortably fit into XS. I am incredibly satisfied with Dr. Décio's exceptional work and the unwavering care and attention provided by nurse Sara. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend them. I highly recommend requesting nurse Sara as your healthcare provider. She is not only a compassionate and dedicated professional, but also a genuinely caring individual. Her passion for her work shines through in every interaction, making her an invaluable asset to have by your side during your medical journey, having someone like her by your side during a medical journey can make a significant difference in the overall experience. I will definitely keep her in mind when considering healthcare providers.
I must say, I was frightened to go to Dr. Carvalho given the reviews however his body of work stood out. His body of work is realistic, great sculpture. I decided to not let reviews dictate my experience. As 2x CG doll, I would not go through CG again for any work. Instead, I would go directly through the specific Dr. private practice. Being a black woman and seeing most patients are Spanish, I was scared but Dr. Carvalho and his team at this office was outstanding. Excellent customer service- no long wait times. He listened to my feedback, was honest on the possibilities. Excellent bedside manners- he was present at the beginning and during recovery. After surgery, I recalled blinking my eyes and he checking in on me. He was in lobby speaking with my family giving them updates. He was informative and clear about how many ccs he gave me and met my expectation. Post- op, him and manager Sara had excellent communication, easily accessible to book a post op appointment with him, especially since I am from out of town. I personally think Dr. Carvalho has taken in other feedback and increased his professionalism to support his patients and improve his practice. 10/10, I recommend. DO NOT GO THROUGH CG Cosmetics, especially if you do not speak Spanish, if you do not want poor communication, if you do not want your coordinator to ghost you after you pay. Go directly to his practice or any of the doctors practice. Dr. Carvalho do more marketing. You are a Excellent doctor. My body is coming along almost three weeks post op and I am loving the results. Thank you for providing after care instructions that are specific and clear. Thank you again!
My surgery with Dr. Decio Carvalho was one of the most amazing experiences that I have ever had! He was extremely attentive to detail, to my limits and personal wishes! He made sure that my results would be something that complimented me in all ways. I feel like the best version of myself because of the outstanding work he did! He was very honest about what would work and what wouldn’t be ideal for me, so it made me feel very confident that Dr. Decio only had the best of interests for me and wanted me to love my new self! His expertise, honesty and techniques are unlike anything I have ever seen, truly a fantastic Doctor! My recovery was very successful thanks to his amazing post op side by side care, and I healed with amazing results! The clinic and staff will make you feel at home! The atmosphere is welcoming and gives you reassurance that you are in the best of hands with Dr. Decio and his wonderful team! Andrea Schwartz
I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Dr. Carvalho and the entire team. From the very first consultation, I felt completely heard, respected, and cared for. Dr. Carvalho took the time to truly understand my goals, answered all of my questions, and explained the procedure in a way that made me feel confident and at ease. The surgery went flawlessly, and the post-op care was just as exceptional. I always felt supported every step of the way. Sara and Elayne were incredible—so kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in my comfort and recovery. They made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Most importantly, I’m absolutely thrilled with my results. They look natural, balanced, and exactly what I hoped for. This experience has truly boosted my confidence and overall quality of life. If you’re looking for a skilled, compassionate, and trustworthy plastic surgeon, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Carvalho. With a team like Sara and Elayne by your side, you’ll be in the best hands possible!
If I could give 5000 stars. I would!!!! I was quite perplexed when I saw my result for the first time. Dr Decio Carvalho works with you to address you in what you really need without affecting your health. Today days plastic surgery specialty has become in very commercial area of medicine, many doctor put first their monetary interest, rather than patient’s necessity , but Dr.Carvalho is far away from this , in my opinion He is one of the few doctor who still really honors from the bottom of his heart the Hippocratic Oath “ He will practice his profession with conscience and dignity”, “He will apply, for the benefit of the sick, all measures [that] are required, avoiding those twin traps of overtreatment and therapeutic nihilism” I strongly recommend him if you really want a professional opinion and procedure
Everything you wanted to know
What is Lipo 360?
Lipo 360 is a circumferential approach to liposuction — sculpting the abdomen, flanks, back, and waist together as one unit. Treating the midsection from every angle creates a more balanced, harmonious silhouette than spot liposuction can achieve.
Lipo 360 vs. traditional liposuction — what's the difference?
Traditional liposuction targets specific areas. Lipo 360 treats the entire midsection circumferentially, addressing how each area transitions into the next. The result is a smoother, more cohesive contour from every viewing angle.
Can it be combined with a BBL or tummy tuck?
Yes — Lipo 360 is frequently combined with both. The fat removed from the midsection can be used in a BBL (fat transfer to the glutes), and patients with significant loose skin may also benefit from a tummy tuck for the most refined result.
How long is the recovery?
Most patients return to light activities within 1–2 weeks and resume normal activities at 4–6 weeks. A compression garment is worn during early healing. Walking is encouraged from day one.
Are the results permanent?
The fat cells removed during liposuction do not grow back. Maintaining a stable weight preserves the contour for many years.
