What is a 360 lipo? How is it performed? What are the side effects if any?

this is a very detailed question and you got some research ahead of you.  most doctors claim to do this type of lipo but dont, and you need to see a VASER HD liposuction specialist who uses numerous energy based defices to remove fat, sculpt the body, and transfer the fat to contour.  I suggest only going to an expert as outcomes can be horrible if not done properly the first time.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question. Every surgeon will have his/her own protocol for this procedure. 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. 

360-Lipo merely means sculpting all around. whether its mid section or thighs or upper body. I call it circumferential LipoSculpting. but 360-lipo is good too. I think its a personal preference to be honest

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  Lipo 360 is circumferential liposuction or your torso designed to improve the overall shape of the waistline.   Make sure you specifically look
at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery
performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results.   The most
important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend
that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who
can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Marina.   Liposuction 360 usually involves treatment of several areas of the body, front and back. It is a general term and I usually tailor each liposuction 360 operation to each patient’s needs. Most of the time, that involves liposuction of the abdomen, flanks and upper and lower back regionis. Sometimes Liposuction of the thighs is also included. There are limitations to the amount of fat that can be removed and each setting, and you should optimally try to lower your BMI to at least 30 for considering this operation.  In general, this is an excellent procedure for the right candidate.Seek out a board-certified plastic surgeon to explore the best options for you. Good luck.
