If you’ve been hitting the gym and sticking to a clean diet, but still struggling to lose stubborn fat around your waist, lower back, or love handles, then 360 Lipo might be a good option for your case!
It’s a surgical body contouring option that focuses on the entire midsection, delivering a uniform, sculpted result.
Unlike targeted lipo where only one zone is treated at a time, 360 Lipo delivers comprehensive midsection transformation in a single session.
Why 360 Lipo?
That stubborn belly fat isn’t just frustrating! it can impact your health and confidence to a remarkable degree.
Despite diet and exercise, areas like the lower abdomen, love handles, and back often cling to fat due to genetics, hormones, and aging.
This is where 360 Liposuction (or “circumferential liposuction”) steps in.
Unlike spot treatments, it sculpts the entire midsection—abdomen, waist, flanks, and lower back—in one procedure.
Think of it as a 360-degree renovation for your core, targeting the “spare tire” and “muffin top” simultaneously.
It’s not a weight-loss solution but a contouring powerhouse for patients near their ideal weight who crave a harmonious silhouette.
In fact, research links abdominal fat to higher risks of heart disease and diabetes, making this more than cosmetic—it’s a “healthy” investment.
Procedure of 360 Lipo
360 Lipo—or circumferential liposuction—follows a sequence of meticulous steps. First, you undergo standard pre-operative assessments: health screening, BMI checks, and photography.
During surgery, tiny incisions are made in strategic locations around your abdomen, flanks, and back.
A tumescent solution (usually saline, lidocaine, epinephrine) is infused to minimize bleeding and swelling.
Then, the surgeon uses a cannula to remove unwanted fat across the full 360-degree belt region precisely.
Depending on your case, the operation can be performed under local, IV sedation, or general anesthesia.
Typical duration ranges from one to three hours. After sculpting, compression garments are applied to aid contouring and reduce swelling.
Benefits of 360 Liposuction
Unlike traditional lipo’s piecemeal approach, Lipo 360 delivers holistic transformation
Indeed, 360 Lipo delivers more than just a slimmer waistline—it offers full circumferential harmony across your core:
- All-around Body Contouring: Unlike traditional lipo, it removes fat from the abdomen, flanks, and back in one session for balanced proportions.
- Single Surgery Efficiency: Consolidating areas in one go saves time and recovery effort compared to multiple targeted liposuctions.
- Enhanced Symmetry: Liposculpture addresses natural contours such as the presacral triangle and upper back rolls, improving your silhouette from all angles.
- Boosted Confidence: The visible removal of muffin tops, love-handles, and bra rolls often translates into improved posture, clothing fit, and psychological well-being.
Results and Expectations
Ideal outcomes feature a flatter abdomen, a defined waistline, and a smoother back. However, managing expectations is crucial.
Expect initial bruising and swelling that typically peaks in the first week and gradually subsides over several months.
- Short-term: Most people begin returning to non-strenuous work around 2–7 days post-op, although compression garments remain vital.
- Medium-term: Noticeable results unfold by 6 weeks as swelling diminishes, with further refinement through 3 months.
- Full results: Generally achieved by 3–6 months, offering smooth, sculpted contours.
Remember, 360 Lipo is for reshaping, not weight loss. Maintaining results requires lifestyle consistency to prevent redistribution of fat.
Combining with Other Procedures
The real magic happens when Lipo 360 teams up with other treatments. 360 Lipo pairs beautifully with complementary procedures:
- Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck): Removes excess skin in addition to fat—ideal if you have significant laxity.
- Fat Grafting: Harvested fat can be repurposed to enhance fullness in areas like the buttocks (Brazilian Butt Lift), hands, or breasts.
- Skin-Tightening Treatments: Ultrasound-assisted (VASER), laser-assisted, or radiofrequency treatments help firm loose skin in target areas.
- Power-Assisted Lipo (PAL): Uses vibrating cannulas for precision and less trauma, reducing bruising and improving healing.
360 Lipo vs. Traditional Lipo
Both methods use the same fat removal technologies, but 360 Lipo delivers broader benefits:
- Scope: Traditional liposuction focuses on a single zone, like the thigh or chin; 360 Lipo treats the entire midsection in one holistic session.
- Symmetry: Broader treatment ensures seamless transitions across regions, avoiding patchy or uneven results.
- Cost⁄Recovery: While 360 Lipo has higher upfront costs, it can be more economical than multiple segmented lipo procedures. Recovery consolidates downtime, too.
- Ideal Candidates: If you’re near your ideal weight but struggle with fat in multiple areas, 360 Lipo is a strong choice. Traditional lipo may be better for smaller or only one stubborn region.
Cost of 360 Lipo
In the U.S., prices typically range from $3,000 to $7,500—sometimes crossing $12,000, depending on complexity, clinician experience, facility fees, and anesthesia.
On average, traditional lipo costs around $4,700, while full 360 Lipo averages between $5,000–12,000, depending on surgeon reputation and geographic location.
In Turkey, Allesta Health Group offers 360 Lipo with internationally trained surgeons and advanced equipment at about 50–70% lower cost compared to U.S./Europe, all while including pre-op consultation, facility use, anesthesia, garments, and follow-ups.
Final Thoughts
360 Lipo is an advancement in body contouring that treats your midsection 360 degrees—not just isolated zones.
Yet it demands patience as swelling takes weeks ( and maybe months) to resolve, and maintenance is lifelong.
It delivers comprehensive, sculpted results, streamlined recovery, and if paired with a respected institution like Allesta Health Group in Turkey, offers exceptional value.
Still, achieving long-lasting results hinges on realistic expectations, maintenance of a healthy weight, and choosing a certified plastic surgeon with experience in advanced liposculpture.
FAQs
Is 360 Lipo safe?
Yes, when performed by a board-certified surgeon in an accredited facility. As with any surgery, risks like contour irregularities or fluid accumulation exist—following pre- and post-op instructions greatly reduces them.
How soon can I return to work?
Most patients return to non-strenuous activities within a week, though compression garments should be worn for at least 4–6 weeks to control swelling and support healing.
Will my skin sag after 360 Lipo?
This depends on skin quality and elasticity. Noninvasive adjuncts (like VASER or RF-assisted techniques) and combining procedures (like abdominoplasty) can improve skin tightening.
Is the fat removal permanent?
Yes—the fat cells removed do not return. However, remaining fat cells can enlarge if you gain weight, and fat may redistributive to untreated areas if you aren’t maintaining a stable weight.
Can 360 Lipo be done under local anesthesia?
For moderate cases, yes. However, larger-volume or multi-area treatments often require sedation or general anesthesia for patient safety and comfort.
Why consider Allesta Health Group in Turkey?
