Treatment Overview
360° Body Liposuction in Korea is a comprehensive fat-removal and contouring procedure that targets the entire midsection—including the abdomen, waist, flanks, and back—to sculpt a slimmer, more proportionate body. Unlike localized liposuction that addresses only one area, 360° liposuction provides a balanced, circumferential reshaping for smoother lines and improved body symmetry.
Korean plastic surgeons are globally recognized for their expertise in precision liposuction and scar minimization. They use micro-cannulas, ultrasound- or laser-assisted liposuction, and 3D body analysis to achieve natural-looking results with minimal downtime. Many patients choose Korea because of the combination of advanced technology, skilled artistry, and affordable yet premium care.
