360 Liposuction with Dr. Hong – Expert Body Contouring Across Gangnam, Apgujeong, Cheongdam, Myeongdong, Hongdae and All of Seoul
A true waist transformation—front, sides, and back
360° liposuction treats the abdomen, flanks (love handles), and lower back in one coordinated plan. Instead of “spot” reduction, Dr. Hong designs your torso as a single unit so the waist looks slimmer from every angle—front view, three-quarter, and profile.
Why choose 360° with Dr. Hong
- Holistic design: Abdomen + flanks + lower back planned together for a seamless hourglass or V-taper.
- Edge perfection: Feathered transitions at the bra/belt line, iliac crest, and upper hip to avoid shelves or dents.
- Tiny, discreet access points: Placed in natural creases for minimal visibility.
- Safety-first protocol: Conservative volumes, meticulous technique, and attentive follow-up.
- Revision-ready expertise: Options for touch-ups if you’ve had prior lipo with irregularities.
Who’s a good candidate?
- Stubborn fat around the midsection despite diet and exercise
- Pinchable fat with good to moderate skin elasticity
- Stable weight and realistic goals (sculpting shape, not weight-loss surgery)
- Non-smoker or willing to pause around surgery to support healing
If moderate skin laxity is present, Dr. Hong may discuss adjunct tightening or whether a tummy tuck better suits your goals.
Areas included in a 360° plan
- Upper & lower abdomen (central, peri-umbilical, and lateral)
- Flanks / love handles (above the hip bones)
- Lower back / posterior waist (to smooth rolls and complete the taper)
- Hip dip blending (select cases) for continuous curves
How the procedure works
- Consultation & mapping – Standing markings to capture natural folds, posture, and beltline.
- Anesthesia – Local with sedation or general, depending on areas and comfort.
- Micro-access & sculpting – Small hidden entry points; controlled, multi-plane cannula passes for even removal.
- Edge blending – Extra attention at the iliac crest, sacral dimples, and costal margin to prevent steps.
- Compression & support – A garment is applied immediately to guide re-draping and reduce swelling.
Recovery timeline (typical)
- Days 1–3: Soreness, swelling, light drainage; gentle walks encouraged.
- Week 1–2: Back to desk work; bruising fades; compression worn 24/7 except showers.
- Weeks 3–4: Light exercise resumes; swelling ~60–70% improved; clothes fit looser at the waist.
- Weeks 6–8: Most activities cleared; contour looks clearly slimmer.
- 3–6 months: Final refinement as tissues settle and skin retracts.
Timelines vary with areas treated, volume, and individual healing.
Results you can expect
- A visibly narrower waist and cleaner beltline
- Smoother back view with fewer rolls
- Better hourglass (many women) or V-taper (many men)
- Clothing sits flatter—tees, dresses, and high-waist styles fit more comfortably
Aftercare essentials
- Compression garment as directed to control swelling and protect contour
- Frequent short walks, hydration, and protein-rich meals to support recovery
- Incision care & sun protection so tiny access points fade well
- Avoid high-impact exercise and heavy core twisting until medically cleared
- Maintain stable weight to preserve results
Risks & how we minimize them
All surgery carries risk: contour irregularities, asymmetry, seroma/hematoma, prolonged swelling, numbness, or infection. Dr. Hong minimizes risk with conservative, even removal, careful hemostasis, multi-plane feathering, and close follow-up. Minor variances as swelling resolves can often be refined with targeted touch-ups.
360° lipo vs. targeted lipo vs. tummy tuck
- 360° liposuction: Best when fat is distributed around the entire waist; creates cohesive front-side-back harmony.
- Targeted lipo (abdomen or flanks only): Useful for small pockets, but may leave imbalance if other zones remain full.
- Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty): For excess skin/diastasis; can be combined with lipo but is a different operation.
Frequently asked questions
How many areas are treated in one session?
Typically abdomen + flanks + lower back together for the smoothest transition.
Will I have loose skin afterward?
Most people with decent elasticity retract well. If laxity exists, combination strategies may be discussed.
Where are the scars?
Tiny entry points hidden in natural creases or under garments; they generally fade and are hard to find.
How long do results last?
Removed fat cells don’t return; significant weight changes can still affect remaining cells. Stable lifestyle = stable results.
