Traditional liposuction targets isolated pockets of fat, but many patients desire a comprehensive transformation of their entire midsection. 360 liposuction—also called circumferential liposuction—addresses this need by contouring the abdomen, flanks, and back in a single procedure. Across Gurgaon and South Delhi, from DLF Phase 5 to Vasant Vihar, patients are discovering how this approach delivers dramatically more impressive results than treating individual areas separately.

Dr. Pradeep Kumar Singh, Head of Plastic Surgery at Artemis Hospital, Sector 51, Gurgaon, has performed hundreds of 360 liposuction procedures. With his Fellowship in Advanced Aesthetic Surgery from St Louis Hospital, Paris, and over 17 years of surgical expertise, he understands that true body transformation requires treating the torso as a unified aesthetic unit rather than isolated zones.

This comprehensive guide explains everything you need to know about 360 liposuction and how it can transform your silhouette.

What Is 360 Liposuction?

360 liposuction refers to circumferential fat removal around the entire midsection. The “360” indicates treatment of the full 360 degrees around your torso—front, sides, and back—rather than just the areas visible from the front. This approach creates seamless, natural-looking contours from every angle.

Patients from Golf Course Road, Sushant Lok, and Greater Kailash appreciate that Dr. Pradeep Kumar Singh evaluates their bodies holistically during consultation. Treating only the abdomen whilst ignoring bulging flanks or back fat creates an unnatural, unbalanced appearance. The 360 approach ensures harmonious proportions visible in clothing, swimwear, and form-fitting attire.

Areas Treated in 360 Liposuction

A comprehensive 360 liposuction procedure addresses multiple zones that together comprise your midsection silhouette:

• Upper Abdomen: The area above the navel that often accumulates stubborn fat, particularly in men. Contouring this zone enhances definition and reduces the “barrel” appearance.
• Lower Abdomen: The area below the navel extending to the pubic region. Women and men from Defence Colony, Haus Khas, and Nirvana Country frequently cite this as their primary concern.
• Flanks (Love Handles): The fat deposits on the sides of the waist that spill over waistbands. Removing this tissue creates a smoother transition from the waist to the hips.
• Lower Back: The lumbar fat pads that create rolls visible in fitted clothing. Addressing this area completes the circumferential transformation.
• Bra Line (Women): The fat deposits along the bra strap line that create bulges visible through clothing. This is often included in female 360 procedures.

Why 360 Liposuction Delivers Superior Results

Patients from Chanakyapuri, Jor Bagh, and Anand Lok who have undergone 360 liposuction consistently report greater satisfaction than those who previously had isolated area treatment. Dr. Pradeep Kumar Singh explains why the comprehensive approach works better:

• Balanced Proportions: Treating all areas simultaneously allows the surgeon to create proportional contours. Removing fat from only the front can make the untreated sides and back appear more prominent by comparison.
• Seamless Transitions: The surgeon can feather and blend fat removal across zones, avoiding abrupt changes in contour that look unnatural.
• Single Recovery Period: Rather than multiple procedures with separate recoveries, 360 liposuction requires only one downtime period to achieve comprehensive transformation.
• Cost Efficiency: Combining areas in one procedure is more economical than staging multiple separate operations, each with its own anaesthesia and facility fees.

The 360 Liposuction Procedure

Understanding what happens during surgery helps patients prepare mentally and physically. Dr. Pradeep Kumar Singh performs 360 liposuction at Artemis Hospital using the following approach:

Pre-Operative Marking

Before surgery, Dr. Pradeep Kumar Singh marks the treatment areas while the patient stands. This mapping identifies fat deposits requiring removal and areas to preserve for natural contours. Women and men from Gulmohar Park, DLF Camelia, and Magnolias appreciate the detailed planning that ensures symmetrical, aesthetically pleasing results.

Anaesthesia and Tumescent Infiltration

360 liposuction is performed under general anaesthesia for patient comfort and safety. The tumescent technique involves injecting a solution containing local anaesthetic and adrenaline into the fat layer. This fluid minimises bleeding, reduces post-operative discomfort, and facilitates smoother fat removal.

Fat Removal Process

Small incisions (typically 3-4 millimetres) are made at strategic locations. Through these openings, a thin cannula connected to suction removes fat deposits. Dr. Pradeep Kumar Singh uses controlled movements to sculpt the tissue, creating smooth contours. The patient is repositioned during surgery to access all 360 degrees of the midsection.

Patients from Shanti Niketan, Gold Links, and M3M Golf Estate seeking enhanced definition may be candidates for VASER-assisted liposuction, which uses ultrasound energy to emulsify fat before removal, enabling more precise sculpting.

Procedure Duration

Comprehensive 360 liposuction typically requires two to four hours, depending on the volume of fat being removed and the number of zones treated. The procedure is performed as a day case in most situations, with patients returning home the same day.

Recovery After 360 Liposuction

Recovery from circumferential liposuction requires patience and compliance with post-operative instructions. Dr. Pradeep Kumar Singh provides detailed guidance to ensure optimal healing:

• Compression Garment: A medical-grade compression garment is worn continuously for four to six weeks. This essential garment reduces swelling, supports healing tissues, and helps the skin contract smoothly over the newly contoured frame.
• First Week: Expect significant swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Light walking is encouraged to promote circulation. Most patients require one week away from work.
• Weeks Two to Four: Swelling gradually decreases. Patients from Palam Vihar, Sohna Road, and Ardee City typically return to desk jobs by week two. Light exercise may be resumed around week three.
• Months Two to Three: Most swelling resolves, and the new contours become visible. Full exercise, including strength training, can typically be resumed.
• Six Months to One Year: Final results are achieved as the remaining swelling resolves and the skin fully contracts. Results continue improving throughout this period.

Ideal Candidates for 360 Liposuction

Not everyone is suited for circumferential body contouring surgery. Dr. Pradeep Kumar Singh evaluates candidacy based on several factors:

• Stable Weight: Patients should be within 15-20 per cent of their ideal body weight and have maintained a stable weight for at least six months.
• Good Skin Elasticity: Skin must have sufficient elasticity to contract after fat removal. Patients with significant skin laxity may require a tummy tuck in addition to or instead of liposuction.
• Realistic Expectations: Liposuction contours the body but is not a weight-loss solution. Understanding its capabilities and limitations ensures satisfaction.
• Good General Health: Patients should be non-smokers (or willing to quit) and free from conditions that impair healing.

Frequently Asked Questions

1.How much fat can be removed during 360 liposuction?

Safety guidelines limit fat removal to approximately five litres in a single session. For most 360 liposuction patients, removal ranges from two to four litres. Dr. Pradeep Kumar Singh prioritises safety over aggressive volume removal, understanding that optimal contours matter more than maximum fat extraction.

2. Will the fat return after 360 liposuction?

Fat cells removed during liposuction are permanently eliminated. However, remaining fat cells can enlarge with weight gain. Maintaining a stable weight through a healthy diet and regular exercise preserves your results long-term. The contoured areas will always have fewer fat cells than before surgery.

3. Is 360 liposuction painful?

Patients describe post-operative sensations as soreness similar to an intense workout rather than sharp pain. The circumferential nature means discomfort is distributed around the midsection. Prescribed pain medication and the compression garment help manage symptoms effectively during the first week.

4. Can 360 liposuction be combined with other procedures?

Yes. Dr. Pradeep Kumar Singh frequently combines 360 liposuction with tummy tuck surgery for patients with excess skin or with breast procedures as part of a mommy makeover. Combining procedures reduces overall recovery time compared to staging them separately.

5. How long until I see the final results?

Initial improvements are visible once swelling subsides around weeks three to four. Approximately 80 per cent of the results are apparent by three months. Final results, including complete skin contraction, are assessed at six months to one year. Patience during this period ensures accurate evaluation of outcomes.

6. Will I have visible scars from 360 liposuction?

The incisions for liposuction measure only 3-4 millimetres and are strategically placed in natural creases or areas hidden by underwear. These tiny marks fade significantly within months and typically become virtually invisible. Dr. Pradeep Kumar Singh’s meticulous technique minimises scarring whilst maximising results.
