Procedure

What is 360 Degree Lipo?

360 Degree Lipo-sometimes referred to as 360 Lipo-is a comprehensive body contouring procedure that removes unwanted fat from the entire circumference of the torso rather than treating isolated areas. The procedure typically treats the abdomen, waist, flanks, lower back and posterior waistline together. By approaching these areas as one continuous aesthetic unit, the surgeon can reshape the entire waist to produce smoother body proportions and the appearance of a naturally narrower silhouette. At 111 Harley St., the procedure is performed using advanced VASER? Liposuction technology, allowing precise sculpting while minimising trauma to surrounding tissues. Every treatment plan is individually tailored around your anatomy, skin quality and long-term aesthetic goals.

Expected Effects & Benefits

Reduces stubborn fat around the entire torso circumference
Creates a slimmer, more defined waistline from every angle
Improves body proportions with smoother transitions between treated areas
Long-lasting results when maintained with a healthy lifestyle

Your Journey

The 360° Approach

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr Yannis Alexandrides. He will take time to understand your concerns, medical history, lifestyle and desired result, alongside a detailed assessment of your body proportions, fat distribution, skin quality and the areas you would like to contour.

This allows Dr Yannis Alexandrides to determine whether 360 Liposuction is appropriate for you and create a personalised surgical plan designed to address localised fat around the body circumferentially, refining areas such as the abdomen, waist, flanks and back where appropriate to create a more balanced and defined silhouette.

Ahead of surgery, you will have a comprehensive pre-operative assessment with our nursing team. This includes a review of your medical history, current medications, lifestyle and overall health, alongside any physical assessment or clinical tests required for your individual surgical plan.

Our team will explain what to expect before and after surgery, answer any questions and ensure you are appropriately prepared for your procedure and recovery.

Good nutrition, hydration and healthy lifestyle habits can help prepare your body for surgery and support the healing process. You will receive personalised guidance on diet, medications, exercise, smoking cessation where appropriate, and practical preparation before your procedure.

Every recommendation is tailored to your individual health, lifestyle and surgical plan to ensure your preparation is appropriate for you.

Preparing the skin and tissues forms an important part of our 360° approach. Ahead of your procedure, our team may recommend a personalised programme to optimise tissue condition and prepare the areas being treated for surgery.

Where appropriate, this may include LPG Endermologie®, ElixirMD Light Therapy, 111SKIN skincare or Dr Yannis Alexandrides’ Dramatic Healing Serum, selected according to your individual skin, tissues and surgical plan.

Our care continues well beyond your procedure. Following 360 Liposuction, our clinical team will monitor your healing through scheduled reviews, with particular attention to swelling, incision sites, tissue settling and your developing body contours.

You will receive personalised guidance on compression garments, movement, activity and caring for the treated areas throughout recovery. Where appropriate, LPG Endermologie® may be incorporated into your post-operative programme to support lymphatic drainage and tissue mobility, while an IV drip or other post-operative support may also form part of your individual aftercare.

As your recovery progresses, Dr Yannis Alexandrides and our clinical team will review your body contours, symmetry, skin quality and incision sites at scheduled follow-up appointments.

Where appropriate, LPG Endermologie®, ElixirMD Light Therapy, personalised scar care, skincare or selected body treatments may be recommended to support tissue quality, scar maturation and the continued refinement of your result.

Procedure

How does 360 Degree Lipo work?

360 Degree Lipo works by removing unwanted fat from the entire circumference of the torso through small, carefully placed incisions. At 111 Harley St., we primarily use VASER? Liposuction, which applies ultrasound energy to gently loosen fat cells before they are removed using fine cannulas. Unlike traditional liposuction, this technique allows the surgeon to work with exceptional precision while preserving surrounding nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue. The procedure is performed around the entire torso-abdomen, waist, flanks and lower back-ensuring every contour flows naturally into the next. Traditional liposuction may be recommended for certain patients where larger volumes of fat require removal. The most appropriate technique is selected during consultation based on your anatomy, skin quality and desired result.

UNDERSTANDING THE TREATMENT AREAS:

The abdomen and waist influence the front and side profile.
The flanks and lower back define the posterior silhouette.
Treating all areas together creates smoother, more balanced contours from every angle.

WHY CIRCUMFERENTIAL TREATMENT MATTERS:

Removing fat from one area alone can create visual imbalance.
Sculpting the full torso produces harmony between each contour.
The result is a naturally narrower waistline rather than isolated improvement.

Procedure

Surgical Techniques & Technology

VASER? Liposuction

Uses ultrasound energy to gently loosen fat before removal, allowing precise sculpting with less trauma to surrounding tissues.

Traditional Liposuction

Removes fat using mechanical suction; recommended for patients requiring larger volumes of fat reduction.

Circumferential Planning

Treats the abdomen, waist, flanks and lower back together for a smoother, more balanced 360° result.

Body Sculpting

Focuses on proportion and contour rather than volume removal alone, preserving your natural anatomy.

Compression & Recovery

Compression garments are fitted immediately after surgery to support healing and encourage smooth contour development.

Supported Aftercare

Your recovery plan may include lymphatic drainage, LED Light Therapy and scar optimisation to optimise healing and results.

Your Journey

The 5-Step Process

Consultation

A comprehensive body assessment with Dr Yannis Alexandrides to understand your concerns, assess fat distribution, skin quality and body proportions, and create a personalised 360 Liposuction plan.

1

Preparation

Pre-operative health assessment, medication review and personalised guidance on nutrition, lifestyle, skin and tissue preparation.

2

Surgery

360 Liposuction performed under TIVA Anaesthesia, with targeted fat removal from selected areas around the body according to your individual anatomy and personalised surgical plan.

3

Recovery

Compression, movement and activity guidance, with structured clinical aftercare as swelling reduces and the treated areas progressively settle.

4

Long Term Care

Ongoing clinical review, personalised skin and scar care and selected treatments where appropriate to support tissue quality and the long-term definition of your body contours.

5

Your Journey

Recovery Timeline

1–2 Weeks

Initial swelling, bruising, tenderness and tightness are expected across the treated areas and progressively subside as healing begins. Compression garments are worn as advised, with personalised guidance provided on movement, caring for the treatment areas and everyday activity.

2–6 Weeks

Swelling and bruising continue to reduce and greater definition through the treated areas gradually becomes visible. Activity can progressively increase, with exercise reintroduced according to your recovery and the guidance of your surgical team. LPG Endermologie® may also form part of your personalised recovery programme where appropriate.

6 Weeks–6 Months

The tissues continue to settle and the contours of the abdomen, waist, flanks, back and other treated areas become increasingly refined. Residual swelling progressively resolves and the skin continues to adapt to the underlying body contours.

6–12 Months

The longer-term result becomes increasingly established as the tissues fully settle and incision sites continue to mature. Subtle refinement of the treated areas may continue throughout this period.

Long-Term Care

Maintaining a stable weight, healthy lifestyle and regular exercise can help support the longevity of your 360 Liposuction result. Where appropriate, LPG Endermologie®, ElixirMD Light Therapy and selected body or skin treatments may also be recommended to support tissue quality and complement your contours over time.

Your Journey

Post surgery activity guidelines

Shower

24-48 HOURS

  Very Impressed With My Rhinoplasty I had been unhappy with the shape of my nose for years and finally decided to look into rhinoplasty. Choosing the right surgeon and clinic was extremely important to me, so I spent a lot of time researching before booking my consultation at 111 Harley St. The consultation was detailed and reassuring, and I appreciated the focus on achieving a result that suited my face rather than simply changing my nose. The whole process was handled professionally, from the initial consultation through to the follow-up appointments. My nose now looks much more balanced with the rest of my face, and the improvement is significant without looking artificial.

  I had my consultation with Anna and honestly couldn’t have been happier with the experience. She took the time to really listen to all of my concerns and went through everything with me in so much detail, including the different treatment options. I really appreciated how thorough and attentive she was, and the whole consultation felt very personal and tailored specifically to me rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. I felt really comfortable and well looked after. I’m really happy with the experience and will definitely be coming back for my treatment. Thank you so much, Anna!

  A Wonderful Experience I decided to explore a Y Facelift after becoming increasingly unhappy with the loss of definition around my lower face. I was initially quite nervous about having facial surgery, so having a detailed consultation was really important to me. Everything was explained clearly and I felt comfortable asking lots of questions. I’m so pleased with the outcome my face looks fresher and more defined, but it still looks completely like me.

  The Best Decision I Made I had a facelift at 111 Harley Street. From my very first consultation, I felt completely comfortable and confident that I was in safe hands. The surgeon took the time to understand what I wanted to achieve and explained every stage of the process clearly, from the operation itself to the recovery and expected results. The care I received was outstanding from start to finish. Every member of the team was kind, professional, and incredibly supportive. They were always available to answer any questions, and I felt genuinely looked after throughout my entire journey. Now that I've fully recovered, I am absolutely delighted with the results. I look refreshed, younger, and far more confident, while still looking completely natural. The best compliment I've received is that people keep telling me I look really well without realising I've had surgery. It's exactly the subtle, natural result I was hoping for. Choosing 111 Harley Street was one of the best decisions I've made. The expertise, attention to detail, and exceptional aftercare exceeded all of my expectations. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone considering a facelift.

I had plastic surgery from doctor Ashvani in 2019 and he messed up my tummy completely. I lost all my sensation in my tummy area and after 7 years, I still regret of having tummy tuck with him. He stitched my whole tummy tuck area without leaving drainage after the operation. I ended up having this massive hole in my tummy area. I have the most horrible scars and I don’t wear bikini for not showing my belly button. You can see how bad his stitches are from the photo. Please do your research before you trust him so you don’t regret like I did. My friend had similar operation in Turkey and you would not even notice she had plastic surgery.my advice is  go to Turkey to have proper plastic surgery with surgeons who knows how do operate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I a suitable candidate for 360 Degree Lipo?

360 Degree Lipo is designed for patients who are close to their ideal body weight but have stubborn fat around the waistline that remains resistant to diet and exercise. It is a body contouring procedure rather than a treatment for obesity or significant weight loss. The ideal candidate has good skin elasticity, realistic expectations and wishes to improve the overall shape of their torso. During your consultation, your surgeon will assess your anatomy, fat distribution, skin quality and overall health before recommending whether 360 Degree Lipo is the most appropriate treatment.

What areas are treated during 360 Degree Lipo?

Unlike conventional liposuction, which often focuses on a single area, 360 Degree Lipo treats the entire circumference of the torso. Treatment commonly includes the upper and lower abdomen, waist, flanks (love handles), lower back and posterior waistline. By treating these areas together, your surgeon creates a slimmer waistline with smoother, more natural transitions between each contour.

Is VASER? better than traditional liposuction?

At 111 Harley St., we primarily perform 360 Degree Lipo using VASER? Liposuction because it allows greater precision and more refined body sculpting. VASER? uses ultrasound energy to gently loosen fat cells before they are removed, preserving surrounding nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue. For many patients this offers greater contouring precision, less trauma, reduced bruising and swelling, faster recovery and improved skin contraction. Traditional liposuction may still be appropriate for patients where larger volumes of fat require removal. Your surgeon will advise which technique is most suitable during consultation.

How long is recovery after 360 Degree Lipo?

Recovery varies according to the extent of surgery and your individual healing response. Most patients experience swelling, bruising and tightness during the first few weeks, all of which gradually improve. Compression garments are worn throughout the first stages to reduce swelling and encourage smooth contour formation. Many patients return to light work within two weeks, while more strenuous exercise should generally be avoided for approximately four to six weeks or until advised by your surgeon.

When will I see my results?

You will notice an immediate improvement in your overall body shape following surgery, although swelling initially masks some of the final definition. Most patients appreciate significant improvements by three months, with the final result continuing to develop over six to twelve months. Because 360 Degree Lipo reshapes the entire torso, improvements are visible from the front, side and back.

Are the results of 360 Degree Lipo permanent?

The fat cells removed during 360 Degree Lipo are permanently eliminated from the treated areas. However, surgery does not prevent future weight gain-if your weight changes significantly, remaining fat cells elsewhere in the body may enlarge. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, stable weight and regular exercise will help preserve your results for many years.

Can 360 Degree Lipo be combined with other procedures?

Yes. Depending on your anatomy and goals, your surgeon may recommend combining 360 Degree Lipo with a Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty) to address loose skin, Fat Transfer to enhance the buttocks or hips, or breast surgery procedures. Combining procedures often allows the body to be reshaped more comprehensively while reducing the need for multiple recovery periods. Your surgeon will advise on the safest and most effective combination during consultation.

Will I have visible scars after 360 Degree Lipo?

The incisions used during 360 Degree Lipo are extremely small and carefully placed within discreet anatomical locations wherever possible. Although every surgical incision leaves some degree of scarring, these usually become progressively lighter and less noticeable as they mature. As part of your aftercare, your surgeon may recommend scar optimisation therapies, advanced skincare and post-operative treatments to support healing.

How long does 360 Degree Lipo take?

360 Degree Lipo generally takes between 1.5 to 2 hours, although timing varies depending on the number of areas treated, the amount of fat removed and the technique used. Your surgeon will confirm the expected operating time as part of your personalised surgical plan during consultation.

Can I have 360 Degree Lipo after a tummy tuck?

It may be possible to have liposuction after a tummy tuck once you have fully healed, but this must be assessed carefully. In some cases, combining procedures may be appropriate; in others, a staged approach is safer. Your surgeon will advise based on your anatomy, scar tissue, skin quality and goals.

What recovery tips help after 360 Degree Lipo?

Wear your compression garments as directed and begin gentle walking to support circulation during the early stages of recovery. Follow your personalised guidance on movement and activity, gradually returning to exercise once cleared by your surgical team. Where appropriate, LPG Endermologie® may form part of your recovery programme to support lymphatic drainage and tissue mobility, while ElixirMD Light Therapy may be recommended to support the skin and tissues during recovery. Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments so our clinical team can monitor swelling, tissue settling and your developing body contours, and contact the clinic promptly if you notice anything unexpected. Your aftercare will be tailored to your surgery and individual healing progress.

Will 360 Degree Lipo remove cellulite?

360 Degree Lipo is designed to reduce fat and improve body contours, not to treat cellulite. In some patients, contour improvement may make the skin appear smoother, but cellulite can also remain or become more noticeable if skin laxity is present. If cellulite is a key concern, your practitioner may recommend non-surgical treatments better suited to skin texture.

What are the risks of 360 Degree Lipo?

Risks can include bruising, swelling, bleeding, infection, fluid collection, contour irregularities, asymmetry, numbness or altered sensation, scarring, skin laxity, delayed healing, anaesthetic risks and, rarely, more serious complications such as blood clots. Your surgeon will discuss your individual risk profile during consultation and explain how careful planning, technique and aftercare help to reduce risk.

How can I book a consultation at 111 Harley St.?

You can arrange a consultation at 111 Harley St. through the clinic’s online booking system or by contacting the team directly. A dedicated coordinator will guide you through the next steps, explain what to expect at consultation and ensure you are booked with the most appropriate surgeon for your concerns.
