360 Liposuction in Washington, DC
Sometimes diet and exercise aren’t enough to remove stubborn fat from the midsection.
Traditional liposuction may target just one area, but 360 liposuction (Lipo 360) is different. It treats the entire torso, including the upper and lower abdomen, waist, flanks, and back, to create natural curves and a more balanced appearance.
At West End Plastic Surgery, our board-certified surgeons perform VASER 360 liposuction, an ultrasound-assisted technique that emulsifies fat for precise removal and smooth, natural curves.

360 liposuction is a body contouring surgery that removes excess fat around the entire torso, not just the stomach.
VASER (ultrasound-assisted liposuction) helps break up targeted fat while preserving surrounding tissues. This enhanced body contouring method addresses the upper and lower abdomen, flanks, hips, and back in a full circle for a proportionate appearance. Lipo 360 is not a weight loss procedure. It is best suited for patients who are at or near their ideal body weight and want to target unwanted fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. When paired with other cosmetic procedures such as a tummy tuck or Brazilian butt lift, it can further enhance results.
360 liposuction is performed as an outpatient surgical procedure at our state-of-the-art Washington, DC, facility.
Surgery time varies by the number of areas treated, typically 1 to 5 hours.
When combined with other procedures like a tummy tuck, the results of Lipo 360 can be even more transformative.
This is not a weight loss procedure. Patients with significant loose skin may benefit from combining liposuction with skin removal surgery, such as a tummy tuck. You may be an ideal candidate for 360 liposuction if you:
Are at or near your ideal body weight and in good health
Have good skin elasticity for smooth results after fat removal
Want to address stubborn fat in multiple treatment areas
Can maintain a stable weight with a healthy lifestyle and regular exercise
Have realistic expectations about results, recovery, and possible scarring
Patients choose VASER 360 for comprehensive shaping with attention to detail.
Ultrasound assistance helps loosen fat for precise removal and even contours. Because fat cells are removed, improvements can be long-lasting with a stable weight. Many patients notice a smoother torso, a defined waistline, and better fit in clothing and swimwear.
Recovery time varies depending on the areas treated and the amount of fat removed.
Most VASER 360 liposuction procedures are outpatient. You will need a ride home and support on the first day. Patients may experience some bruising, tenderness, or mild to moderate pain, which is managed with medication. A compression garment is worn for several weeks to reduce swelling.
Most patients return to light activity within a week but will need to avoid strenuous exercise for several weeks. Your surgeon will check your healing progress at follow-up appointments, ensuring a smooth recovery and optimal results.
Results from circumferential liposuction are visible within weeks, with further improvement as swelling subsides. Because fat cells are permanently removed, the results are long-lasting when paired with a healthy lifestyle and stable weight.
Patients will see a smoother, firmer, more balanced torso, defined waistline, and more proportionate natural contours. Many people report feeling more confident in clothing and swimwear, enjoying a more youthful, proportional appearance.
At West End Plastic Surgery, our board-certified surgeons have advanced training in VASER techniques, comprehensive torso sculpting, and combination treatment planning.
