360 Vaser Liposuction: Understanding the Basics
Some areas of stubborn fat remain even with regular exercise and a stable weight. For some people, the waist, flanks, and lower back are the areas they notice most.
360 Vaser liposuction is a body contouring procedure that treats the full circumference of the midsection, front, sides, and back, using ultrasound-assisted technology to help loosen fat before it is removed.

What Is 360 Vaser Liposuction?
Vaser is a form of ultrasound-assisted liposuction. Ultrasound energy is used to help break down and loosen fat cells so they can be removed through small cannulas.
A 360 approach treats the abdomen, flanks, and back together rather than a single area in isolation, so the surgeon can shape the midsection as a whole.
Liposuction is not a weight loss treatment. It is intended to reshape areas of localized fat in people who are already close to a stable, healthy weight.
Who This May Be Right For
360 Vaser liposuction may be considered by people who have localized fat around the midsection that has not responded to diet and exercise, and who have reasonable skin elasticity.
It may not be the right option where there is significant loose skin, as removing fat alone will not tighten excess skin. A qualified surgeon can assess your anatomy and recommend the most suitable approach.
Understanding the Procedure
360 Vaser liposuction is performed by a qualified surgeon in an accredited medical facility.
A tumescent solution is usually introduced into the treatment area first. Ultrasound energy is then applied to help loosen the fat, which is removed through small incisions using thin cannulas. The surgeon works around the full circumference of the treated area to create a balanced contour.
Your surgeon will explain the planned treatment areas, anaesthesia, expected scars, potential risks, and alternatives before you decide whether to proceed.

Recovery Overview
Swelling, bruising, and tenderness are common in the early stages of healing. Most people are asked to wear a compression garment for a period of time after surgery.
Your body contour will continue to change as swelling settles. Your medical team will give you instructions on garments, activity, lymphatic massage if recommended, and follow up appointments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Vaser liposuction a weight loss procedure?
No. Liposuction is designed to reshape areas of localized fat. It is not a substitute for weight loss, and your surgeon will usually recommend being close to a stable weight before surgery.
What does 360 mean?
A 360 approach treats the full circumference of the midsection, usually the abdomen, flanks, and back, so the area is shaped as a whole rather than one section at a time.
Will liposuction tighten loose skin?
Liposuction removes fat but does not remove excess skin. If significant skin laxity is present, your surgeon may discuss other options such as a tummy tuck.
Are the results permanent?
Fat cells that are removed do not return, but remaining fat cells can still grow with weight gain. Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve your result.
How do I know if I am a candidate?
A consultation with a qualified surgeon is the best way to understand whether 360 Vaser liposuction suits your anatomy, health, and goals.
