Vaser liposuction 360 targets stubborn fat cells around your entire midsection, including your stomach, hips and lower back, permanently removing the fat1https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3901919/ in one session. In this article, we’ll cover how it works, and if you’re a suitable candidate.
What is Vaser Liposuction 360?
Vaser liposuction 360 is a modern liposuction technique that uses ultrasound technology to selectively target and dissolve fat cells. The “360” in its name reflects its unique 360-degree approach. This surgery is particularly effective for the entire midsection and other specific areas like the back and hips, potentially providing a more consistent result.
How Does Vaser Liposuction 360 Work?
Vaser liposuction 360 starts with an initial consultation, where your surgeon discusses your goals and assesses your suitability for the procedure. On the day of the surgery, here’s what happens:
- Preparation: The targeted area is marked and prepped. You’ll be given anaesthesia to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure.
- The Procedure: A small probe that emits ultrasound waves is inserted through small incisions made in the target area. These ultrasound waves vibrate and break apart the fat cells2https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10335824/.
- Fat Removal: The liquefied fat is then suctioned out. Because the fat has been broken down into a smoother, more fluid-like substance, it’s potentially less traumatic for your body to remove it.
- Finishing Up: Once the desired amount of fat is removed, the incisions are closed up.
The use of ultrasound technology in Vaser liposuction 360 is designed for a more controlled fat removal process with the aim of reducing damage to surrounding tissues. This may lead to less bruising and swelling compared to traditional methods, making the recovery potentially process smoother and quicker. However, keep in mind liposuction is a surgical procedure with its own set of possible risks.
Why Choose Vaser Liposuction 360?
Vaser Liposuction 360 is known for its advanced approach to fat reduction, using ultrasound technology to target fat cells. Here’s why it might be the right choice for you:
- Precision: The ultrasound technology allows for targeted fat reduction.
- Potentially less trauma to the body: Compared to traditional liposuction, Vaser Lipo 360 tends to involve less overall trauma to the body.
- Addresses multiple spots in one surgery: Liposuction 360 can address multiple areas of concern in one procedure, which reduces the need for multiple surgeries, and can provide more comprehensive results.
Areas Vaser Lipo 360 Targets
While a typical Vaser liposuction procedure permanently removes fat from a specific area (like hips, thighs, calves, arms) Vaser 360 liposuction focuses on removing stubborn fat deposits around your entire midsection.
This includes four key areas:

Cost of Lipo 360 in Australia (2024)
In Australia, the cost of Vaser Liposuction 360 generally starts from around $5,000. However, prices can vary significantly based on the extent of the area being treated, the surgeon’s experience, and the specific location of the clinic. On average, you might expect to pay between $5,000 and $20,000 for Vaser Liposuction 360, depending on these factors.
Is Lipo 360 safe?
Lipo 360 can be safe, but it depends on having a skilled, experienced surgeon. It targets fat around the entire midsection, which means the procedure can take longer and may involve higher risks, like any surgery. These include possible infection, blood clots, or complications from anaesthesia. You might also experience swelling, bruising, and some discomfort while recovering. Sometimes, there can be irregularities in skin texture or pigmentation changes. Fluid buildup is another risk that might need extra treatment. Additionally, there’s a possibility of nerve damage, prolonged numbness, or changes in skin sensation. Seromas (pockets of fluid), fat embolism (fat entering the bloodstream), and damage to internal organs are also rare but serious risks. It’s important to have realistic expectations and talk to your doctor about all the possible risks before deciding to go ahead.
