What is the difference between lipo 360 & lipo HD?

Thank you for your question. Out of the 5 answers you received to your post so far, one is close to defining these procedures, the other four are just, lets say, clueless. To call something they do not understand "just marketing" it is misinformation to the consumer. If you do not understand a procedure and you think liposuction is only liposuction, then you are exhibiting your ignorance. Sculpting is not just creating grooves in the fat and carving the fat to look like a "six pack". Wrong and ignorant! These surgeons do liposuction for fat reduction only. Surgeons who advanced the technique of body sculpting do revealing liposuction. Not only fat reduction, but also muscle definition.So, what is the difference between lipo 360 and HD? HD refers to VASER Hi Def Lipo to define an athletic youthful body in men and women. Highly technical procedure invented and developed by Dr. Alfredo Hoyos of Bogota, Colombia. He trained over 550 surgeons in this technique throughout the world (89 in the US). HD and lipo 360 are done at the same time. Imagine if some guy presents for "etching of his abdomen" only. He has fat on his back, waist, men boobs, fat on his anterior and lateral chest wall. All these need to be treated together (360 degrees). If you just etch his abdomen, you create the "Ninja turtle look".Please, visit my web site and the other surgeons' web sites who claim that this is marketing only and you be the judge. Good luck.

Thank you for your question!  You need a formal evaluation by an expert in body shaping and contouring to determine what is best. The best in body contouring not only removes fat with energy devices like VASER ultrasound but also internally heats the skin with radiofrequency devices such as Renuvion (J-Plasma), InMode BodyTite, and ThermiRF to heat the undersurface of the skin and tighten it at the same time as fat removal. These combinations are called 4D HI-DEF VASER Liposuction and can only be done by a well-trained body contouring specialist. At the same time, fat should be harvested and purified, with PRP and stem cells added, and then injected into muscles, indentations and cellulite to get body shaping and contouring. If skin is very loose before surgery, then it will need to be removed: tummy tuck/abdominoplasty for lower abdominal skin; breast lift for excess breast skin; and/or a brachioplasty for loose arm skin.
Overall, you need a full assessment, but simple liposuction alone will not tighten skin and needs a combination of various methods -- fat removal, skin tightening, defining, fat grafting, skin removal -- to get the best in body contouring and body sculpting. Using medical-grade skincare at home can also help along your results and can be found at Emeragecosmetics.com along with a free consultation with one of my Skin Care Specialists.See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.

The
patient must have adequate skin elasticity to allow for skin retraction
after surgery. This factor is the most important element to good results
aside from technical proficiency of the surgeon and the patient’s
ability to follow the postoperative regimen of wearing the compression
garment appropriately.The skin can tighten after liposuction as the
swelling continues to resolve over three to six months after surgery. 
Lipo 360 refers to the midsection area of the body that addresses making the waist as small as possible.  HD lipo does not mean anything specific.  Many varieties of liposuction are available including ultrasonic, smart lipo, laser liposuction, vaser lipo, power assisted liposuction, and conventional tumescent liposuction. The results depend very little on the method used and very much on the surgeon selected.
