About 360 Liposuction
360 Liposuction is different from traditional liposuction techniques because it offers complete body contouring around the midsection. By treating all aspects of the torso, patients can enjoy a smoother and more defined shape. The primary goal of this procedure is not only to remove excess fat but also to sculpt the body into an aesthetically pleasing silhouette.
This technique has grown in popularity due to its ability to enhance the waistline while providing proportionate results across all treated areas. Statistics show that there has been a significant increase in demand for body contouring procedures like 360 Liposuction as more individuals focus on achieving their fitness and aesthetic aspirations.
Benefits
360 Liposuction is an innovative way to reduce fat in multiple parts of the torso with impressive results and a smooth recovery. With Dr. Andan’s expertise, patients often experience benefits such as:
- Comprehensive fat reduction: The procedure targets multiple areas at once, leading to greater overall fat sculpting in the torso.
- Enhanced body contours: By providing complete torso sculpting, 360 Liposuction creates smoother and more defined lines along the waist, abdomen, and back.
- Increased self-confidence: Many patients experience a boost in self-esteem as they notice their improved body shape and proportions.
- Minimally invasive surgery: Compared to other surgical options, 360 Liposuction requires smaller incisions, leading to reduced scarring and quicker recovery times.
- Optimized recovery time: Addressing multiple areas in one session allows for a single downtime compared to having separately scheduled surgeries for each area.
- Long-lasting results: Once you have completed your weight-loss journey, the results achieved through 360 Liposuction can be long-lasting, especially when supported by a healthy lifestyle.
- Customized approaches: The procedure can be tailored to suit each patient’s unique body structure and aesthetic desires, ensuring individualized outcomes.
- Improved clothing fit: Patients often find improvements in clothing fit, enhancing their fashion choices and overall style.
Candidates
Ideal candidates for 360 Liposuction are individuals who have circumferential fat deposits around their torsos. If they only wish to target one area, they may be better suited for a more traditional liposuction treatment. Candidates should be generally healthy and maintain a stable weight. Patients should also have realistic expectations about what they can achieve and understand the importance of proper preparation and recovery care. It’s important to note that liposuction, in any form, is not a weight-loss solution. Liposuction is a body sculpting procedure that helps patients achieve their ideal body image. All prospective patients will have a consultation with Dr. Andan to further determine their candidacy.

Preparation
After confirming your treatment plan and scheduling your procedure, you will receive a set of preparation instructions. Patients will need to avoid any kind of blood-thinning medication or supplements before treatment. Patients should also avoid alcohol and nicotine. Dr. Andan may require that patients fast before their procedures, especially if they will be placed under anesthesia. We recommend that patients fill prescriptions for pain medications and/or antibiotics before their procedure. Patients must also schedule time off from work and prepare a comfortable space at home to recover.
Procedure
Like with other liposuction procedures, 360 Liposuction will begin with anesthesia administration. (1) 360 Liposuction is typically performed with a patient under general anesthesia because it targets multiple parts of the torso. Patients will likely also receive a local anesthetic around their torso to maximize their post-procedure comfort. Small incisions will be made in inconspicuous locations to minimize visible scarring. (1) Because 360 Liposuction targets the entire circumference of the torso, incisions will likely be along the flanks, in the small of the back, near the belly button, along the waistline, and more. New York Surgical Arts offers both traditional tumescent liposuction and VASER Hi-Def liposuction methods. VASER, or Vibration Amplification of Sound Energy at Resonance, is a refined liposuction technology that uses ultrasound vibrations to dislodge fat pockets and emulsify them for easy removal. (2) Using the chosen liposuction technique, fat will be carefully suctioned from the targeted areas. This meticulous process ensures smooth and even results. Finally, the incisions are closed with sutures, and a supportive garment is applied to promote healing and reduce swelling. The total duration of the procedure may vary based on the extent of fat removal, but it is generally completed in a few hours.
Recovery
Following your 360 Liposuction surgery, you will spend some time in recovery until you are stable and ready to go home. Swelling and bruising are common effects and can last for several weeks. Elevating your torso, resting, taking light walks, and applying cold compresses can help reduce swelling and bruising. We will provide pain relief medications to manage any discomfort. Most patients can resume light activities within a week, but rigorous exercise should be avoided for several weeks to allow for optimal healing. You will attend follow-up appointments so we can monitor your progress and assess your healing process. Overall, patients usually begin to see noticeable results within weeks and achieve final results over the following months.
Results
The results of 360 Liposuction can provide dramatic improvements in terms of body contour and shape. Following a proper recovery period, patients enjoy visibly enhanced torsos, along with improved waistlines and profiles. Many individuals express increased confidence as they embrace their new body shapes and sizes.
Corresponding Procedures
After a 360 Liposuction treatment, some patients are left with loose skin. To address this, patients can receive a tummy tuck or body lift in their treatment plan. A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is an effective way to remove excess skin from the abdomen. This procedure also tightens the abdominal muscles to improve your core strength. Similarly, a body lift will remove excess skin from the entire torso to provide patients with a smooth, contoured, attractive physique that helps to further accentuate their new body contours.
