Thank you for your question. The basic goals of liposuciton in women are to get the figure as lean as possbile while bringing our feminine curves.  With our 360° Liposuction we treat any and all areas that will benefit the overall form of the patient.  The common "trouble spots" are the abdomen, back, waist, arms, and thighs.  We can decide your individual pla together, with the overall goal of really refining the  figure and working towards an hourglass silhouette.  Our central approach with these procedures is to provide a 360 degree improvement in order to maximize feminine curves. That said, you definitely have to choose your surgeon correctly and make sure that he/she has the training and experience to meet your goals with absolute safety.  A key quality indicator is Board Certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.  Don’t settle for less than a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon with specialized expertise in this procedure.

Hello snatchmeupb4ugogo, 
In general, Lipo 360 is a term that simply refers to circumferential liposuction of the body.  This involves liposuction of the abdomen, the flanks, and the back. Also referred to as 360 degree liposuction, Lipo 360 can be performed by using traditional liposuction procedures but also can be achieved with VASER Liposuction, producing safer and improved outcomes. With VASER Liposuction patients can get rid of excess fat from multiples areas such as arms, back, abs, flanks, neck and chin for a beautifully contoured figure and a younger-looking facial appearance. During VASER Liposuction, the surgeon selects the area to be treated and uses the ultrasound-assisted device to liquefy the fat cells, leaving the surrounding tissues unaffected. By carefully selecting and melting fat cells, the VASER leads to more rapid healing and smoother results. Since the VASER also creates thermal energy, this generated heat causes further fat to dissolve and causes significant skin contracture (53% more than traditional liposuction procedures). Additionally, clinical studies reveal that fat harvested using the VASER liposuction have a very good viability of fat cells to be re-introduced in the body (during Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) for instance), offering nearly an 80% fat cell survival rate. Hope this is helpful! Dr. De La Cruz.

Liposuction 360 is simply a general term describing liposuction of circumferential areas like all around your legs or your abdomen and back at the same time. It is possible to customize your BBL surgery to include liposuction of those regions that you desire and it is not unreasonable to perform them at the same time, as long as you seek out a board-certified plastic surgeon with lots of experience. Good luck.

Hello dear!
Thanks for the question and provided information as well.Liposuction is essentially removing fat from unwanted areas to create a smoother contour. For the midsection, liposuction is traditionally done on the abdomen, waist or the back. 360 degree liposuction is a more comprehensive procedure that combines liposuction of the entire midsection to achieve an overall curvier, contoured figure from every angle.
While liposuction is usually done on one area at a time, 360 degree liposuction targets multiple regions of the midsection where stubborn fat may be a problem. This can help create a more balanced, proportional appearance.l recommend you to make an appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon to talk about your goals and anything you need to know.
Good luck :)

Thank you for your question.  "Lipo 360," as far as I can tell, simply means that the procedure is conducted 360 degrees around a given body part (lower torso, thigh, etc), which will result in greater circumferential reduction than if it were only a "spot-treatment," say, of the lower abdomen. "lipo 360" could apply to any specific liposuction equipment (Vaser, SmartLipo, Power-assisted lipo, etc.), just performed 360 degrees around the given body part.  I have noticed that many physicians and practices coin their own unique terminology for what is basically all liposuction. I hope this helps.Best wishes...
