01 The short answer
What is 360-degree liposuction?
360-degree liposuction (circumferential liposuction) removes fat all the way around the torso — abdomen, waist, flanks (love handles) and back — in one session, instead of treating a single area in isolation.
Treating only the front can leave the sides and back looking bulky in comparison. At De:light in Gangnam, Seoul, Dr. Seonghun Kim plans the whole torso as one shape, blending each zone so there are no steps between areas. Depending on your needs he combines tumescent, VASER and laser-assisted techniques with fine micro-cannulas. Incisions are closed with the De:MIS internal suture . Swelling settles over several weeks; the final silhouette shows at around 3 months.

02 Is it right for you?
An honest answer first — even if it's "no."
We would rather tell you 360-degree liposuction isn't the right tool than sell you a surgery you don't need.
Usually a good fit
- Stubborn fat on several sides of the torso
- You want a more defined waist from every angle
- Near your ideal weight with good skin elasticity
- Previous single-area lipo left an unbalanced look
Other options may suit you
- You are looking for a weight-loss method
- Mainly loose skin after large weight loss
- Significant weight change still planned
- Fat mostly inside the abdomen (visceral)
Not sure? Send front, side and back photos on WhatsApp — Dr. Kim's team will tell you honestly what's realistic.
03 How 360° works
One torso. One plan.
Dr. Kim marks you standing, then treats each zone with the technique that fits its fat type — always blending into the next zone.
Tumescent technique
Fluid is infused before suction to reduce bleeding, swelling and downtime.
VASER (ultrasound)
Ultrasound energy gently loosens fat before removal for smoother results.
Laser-assisted
Helps soften fat and may support skin tightening in selected cases.
Micro-cannula sculpting
Fine cannulas for detailed, even shaping with minimal trauma.
04 Only at De:light
All around the torso. No stitches to remove.
Every incision is closed by Dr. Kim with De:MIS , our internal suture technique — no stitch-removal visit , designed to minimise visible marks. Helpful if you need to fly home soon after surgery.

09 Questions, answered
360-Degree Liposuction FAQ
Which areas are included in 360 liposuction?
Usually the upper and lower abdomen, waist, flanks and back. Hips or other areas can be added depending on your goals.
Is 360 liposuction better than single-area liposuction?
If you have fat on several sides of the torso, treating them together gives a more balanced result. If only one area bothers you, single-area liposuction may be enough.
How long is recovery after 360 liposuction?
Most patients return to desk work in about a week. Compression is worn for several weeks; the final shape shows at around 3 months.
How long should I stay in Seoul?
Dr. Kim's team will suggest a stay length that includes follow-up checks before your flight.
How much does 360 liposuction cost in Gangnam, Seoul?
It depends on the areas and techniques. Send photos on WhatsApp for a personal quote.
I'm visiting from abroad. How many days should I stay in Seoul?
It depends on your plan and recovery. Share your travel dates on WhatsApp and our team will suggest a schedule covering consultation, surgery and a check-up before your flight. De:MIS needs no stitch removal, so there is no stitch-removal visit to plan around.
Do you speak English? Who will perform my surgery?
