What is a Male & female 360 liposuction?
It is common to have stubborn pockets of fat that refuse to go away even with a proper diet and regular exercise. Liposuction is an amazing treatment to remove these unwanted and stubborn fat deposits / pockets. It can remove fat on almost any area of the body such as the abdomen, flanks, and back (often referred to as 360-liposuction), but also other areas like the thighs, hips, buttocks, arms, chin, and more.
Who is a Good Candidate?
Individuals who are close to their ideal body weight who have stubborn areas of fat on their torsos (abdomen, flanks, and back) can often benefit from 360-liposuction. Candidates for liposuction should have good skin elasticity as well as be healthy individuals who are nonsmokers. It is important to understand that liposuction is not a weight loss solution but helps to contour the body once you are at a stable, healthy weight.
Dr. ROJAS APPROACH:
I always approach LIPOSUCTION in an artistic way. I consider it a great tool to SCULPT the body rather than just to remove unwanted fat.
I take into consideration the entire body, assessing proportions, and pursuing balance and harmony across all the targeted areas. The key is not to focus only on removing the excess fat but also to achieve contour, shape, and definition that respects and elevates human anatomy.

Procedure Overview
For the liposuction procedure, small incisions will be made where a hollow tube, called a cannula, will be inserted. These incisions are strategically placed on areas easy to hide with clothing or at areas naturally hidden by the body itself. Using a back and forth motion, the cannula will break up excess fat. Once the excess fat is broken up and loose, it is suctioned out of the body. This procedure can be used to target pockets of fat in many parts of the body.
We prefer to perform liposuction using the tumescent liposuction technique. This technique involves injecting a wetting solution of IV fluid mixed with vasoconstricting agent and a local anesthetic at the start of the surgery. This allows for liposuction to be done minimizing blood loss and post-surgical pain. This decreases perioperative risk and translates into a quicker and more comfortable recovery. We often use the POWER ASSISTED TECHNIQUE (or PAL) by adding vibration to the cannula resulting in more effective aspiration with less tissue trauma. In addition, we always use the SAFE approach. First performing fat SEPARATION by breaking up the fat using special cannulas without suction, then doing the ASPIRATION connecting the cannula to suction, and finally FAT EQUALIZATION by using other special cannulas to achieve smoother and more balanced results and to prevent areas of over or under aspiration that can result in uneven results.
RECOVERY AND RESULTS
Following liposuction, you will need to wear special compression garments on the treated areas. This will help to reduce swelling and help the skin to re-drape over the underlying muscles. Bruising and swelling will occur but should disappear within three weeks. Any discomfort can be treated with pain medication. It is important that patients avoid any strenuous activity for at least 4-6 weeks after surgery. Healing is gradual, visible results will be immediate, but it may take up to 3-6 months before you will be able to see the final results of your surgery and truly appreciate the highest level of definition.
What is the cost of 360 Liposuction?
The cost of 360 liposuction, which targets the entire circumference of the midsection, varies based on the surgeon’s expertise, the procedure’s extent, geographic location, and additional fees for anesthesia and facility usage. Ensure to discuss these aspects during your consultation to fully understand the pricing.
