Modern aesthetic surgery is constantly evolving. Surgeons want to provide their patients with even better results and a more harmonious body image. One of the most innovative liposuction methods is liposuction 360 in Turkey. But what exactly is it, and what advantages does it offer compared to traditional procedures?
What does "360-degree liposuction" mean?
Conventional liposuction usually targets specific body areas, like the abdomen or hips. In contrast, the 360-degree method focuses on the whole body. Typical areas are the abdomen, flanks, waist, and back. This is a complete contouring procedure.
The goal is not just to reduce fat, but to create a slim, even silhouette that looks good. While traditional liposuction removes fat, 360-degree liposuction also makes sure that the body looks balanced.

The exact procedure may vary slightly from clinic to clinic because different techniques and equipment are used. However, every patient at Cosmedica Aesthetic goes through similar phases:
1) Consultation & Planning
Liposuction always begins with a consultation with a specialist in plastic and aesthetic surgery.
- Body analysis: The doctor examines the distribution of fat deposits, skin quality, and any abnormalities. These include scars, stretch marks, or differences in tissue structure.
- Treatment plan: Based on this, a customized treatment plan is created. This determines where excess fat should be removed and what the new body contour could look like.
- Information: The patient receives detailed information about the procedure, potential risks, the healing phase, and the expected results. Ask for before and after photos of other patients for a better understanding.
- Preparation: Before surgery, examinations, an ECG, and the evaluation of allergies or pre-existing conditions are important. Some clinics also recommend avoiding smoking and alcohol before the procedure to improve healing.
2) Surgery
On the day of the procedure, the patient is prepared for the procedure. Depending on the extent and technique, 360-degree liposuction can be performed under general anesthesia or twilight sleep.
- Marking the zones: Before the procedure begins, the plastic surgeon marks the areas on the body. These markings serve as a guide during the procedure.
- Tumescent solution: A special fluid is injected into the tissue through small skin incisions. This solution ensures that the fat cells are released more easily and bleeding is minimized.
- Liposuction: Excess fat cells are suctioned out using fine cannulas connected to a vacuum around the entire body. Depending on the extent, the procedure usually takes between 2 and 4 hours.
- Conclusion: The small incisions are either sutured or closed with dissolvable sutures. In many cases, the scars are barely visible.
3) Aftercare & Healing Process
Aftercare plays a crucial role in the final result. Immediately after the plastic surgery, the patient wears special compression garments to support the new shape.
- First Days: Swelling and a feeling of tightness may occur in the first 24–48 hours. Painkillers provide relief during this time.
- Wearing a Compression Garment: Consistently for 4–6 weeks to achieve optimal results.
- Exercise & Sports: Light exercise such as walking is recommended after just a few days. Patients can usually return to light daily activities after 3–7 days. Sports activities are usually possible again after 4–6 weeks.
- Check-up appointments: Regular examinations ensure that healing is progressing smoothly.
- Results: Initial changes are visible after just a few weeks. The final results only become apparent after 3–6 months, when the skin has tightened.
Ideal Candidates for Lipo 360 Procedure
- Overall good health: Candidates should not have serious medical conditions (like uncontrolled diabetes, heart disease, or bleeding disorders). They could increase surgical risks.
- Stable weight: Best results are achieved when someone is close to their goal weight. But struggles with unwanted fat that does not respond to diet and exercise.
- Good skin elasticity: Firm, elastic skin helps the body adapt smoothly to its new shape after fat removal. People with significant skin laxity may need additional skin-tightening procedures.
- Targeted fat deposits: Ideal for those with localized fat including the abdomen, waist, flanks (“love handles”), and back.
- Non-smokers: Smoking can impair healing and increase complication risks. Many surgeons require patients to stop smoking several weeks before and after surgery.
- Realistic aesthetic goals: Lipo 360 contours and sculpts the body. It does not serve as a weight-loss solution or treatment for obesity.
Who may not be good candidates
- Individuals who want to lose a significant amount of weight
- People with severe skin laxity (they may need a tummy tuck or lift)
- Patients with certain chronic conditions that make surgery unsafe
