360 Liposuction with Skin Tightening

(Quantum RF)

360° liposuction with skin tightening is an advanced body treatment that removes fat around the torso and tightens the skin at the same time. At Gooimeer Clinics, we combine modern liposuction techniques with Quantum RF technology to not only reduce volume, but also improve skin quality. This treatment is suitable for people who suffer from fat deposits and mild to moderate skin sagging, and who want a tighter, more defined waist and abdomen without major surgery. The goal is a tighter, smoother and more balanced body profile around the abdomen, waist and flanks.

A tight jawline and neck, without visible scars

A beautiful neck is defined by the angle between the jaw and the neck. In some people, this angle is naturally less sharp due to a fuller double chin or deeper fat layers beneath the neck muscle. In others, it develops gradually as tissues begin to sag over time.

A deep neck lift is a specialised procedure in which we treat all relevant layers of the neck through one small incision hidden in the skin crease under the chin: the skin, subcutaneous fat, the platysma muscle, and—if necessary—the small salivary glands. The goal is a tight, well-defined jaw–neck angle and an elegant side profile.

What exactly is a deep neck lift?

Unlike submental liposuction, which removes only superficial fat, a deep neck lift works beneath the platysma muscle. This is where the fat responsible for a full double chin or a less defined jawline is often located.

Through a small incision under the chin, we can:

  • directly assess deep fat under direct vision and remove it precisely

  • suture the platysma muscle together in the midline (an internal “corset” technique)

  • if necessary, reduce the small submandibular salivary glands

  • allow the skin to redrape smoothly and tighten along with the new contours

This creates a structural and long-lasting anatomical correction. In principle, a full double chin does not return.

01 Advanced technology at Gooimeer Clinics

Tumescent technique

Before fat removal, a special fluid is injected into the fatty tissue. This contains, among other things, a local anesthetic and a substance that constricts the small blood vessels. This causes the fatty tissue to swell and become looser.
This results in:

  • less blood loss

  • less swelling and bruising

  • better protection of nerves and connective tissue

  • a more comfortable recovery

Tumescent anesthesia forms the safe foundation for modern liposuction.

02 VASER ultrasound-assisted liposuction

With VASER, ultrasonic energy is used to selectively loosen fat cells from the surrounding tissue. The fat cells are, as it were, made more fluid, allowing them to be removed with less force.
Advantages:

  • less damage to blood vessels and nerves

  • better skin retraction

  • more precise contouring

  • ideal for 360° treatments and high-definition shaping

03 Power Assisted Liposuction (PAL)

After loosening the fat with VASER, the fat is removed using a mechanically vibrating cannula. This ensures smooth and controlled fat removal.
Advantages:

  • greater precision

  • less tissue strain

  • more even contours

  • lower risk of irregularities

The combination of tumescent + VASER + PAL makes it possible to work with maximum accuracy while optimizing recovery.

04 Quantum RF skin tightening

After fat removal, Quantum RF technology is applied to heat the skin from the inside. This controlled heat stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, leading to:

  • improved skin elasticity

  • firmer, tighter skin

  • better adherence of the skin to the new contour

This is essential in 360° liposuction, because the skin must adapt beautifully to the new shape.

05 The treatment

The treatment is performed under local anesthesia with sedation or under general anesthesia, depending on the extent. The liposuction is performed circumferentially around the torso: abdomen, waist, flanks, and lower back. Afterwards, Quantum RF technology is applied for skin tightening.
The average treatment time is 1.5 to 3 hours.

06 Recovery

After the treatment, you will wear compression garments for 4 to 6 weeks. This supports the skin and helps reduce swelling. Light movement is allowed quickly; intensive sports are temporarily discouraged.
Swelling and tenderness gradually decrease. The skin continues to improve in the months after treatment due to collagen stimulation.

07 Result

The result becomes visible as soon as swelling subsides and continues to improve over the first 3 to 6 months. You can expect:

  • a tighter waist

  • smoother skin

  • better definition of the abdomen and flanks

  • a naturally contoured torso

With a stable weight, the result remains long-lasting.

08 Possible risks

As with any medical procedure, the following may occur:

  • swelling or bruising

  • temporary changes in sensation

  • mild asymmetry

  • irregular contour

  • rarely, infection or delayed healing

These risks are discussed in detail during the consultation.

Frequently asked questions

Click on an questions to see the answer

  • Is 360° Liposuction with Skin Tightening (Quantum RF) a replacement for a tummy tuck?

    No. With significant excess skin, a tummy tuck is often necessary. 360° Liposuction with Skin Tightening (Quantum RF) is best suited for mild to moderate skin laxity, when the skin can still retract with RF stimulation.

  • Does 360° Liposuction with Skin Tightening (Quantum RF) leave large scars?

    No. 360° Liposuction with Skin Tightening (Quantum RF) uses only small access points, which typically heal into very subtle, barely visible scars.

  • How soon will I see results after 360° Liposuction with Skin Tightening (Quantum RF)?

    You will usually notice changes after a few weeks as the initial swelling settles. Results then continue to improve for around 3–6 months due to healing and Quantum RF collagen stimulation.

  • Can 360° Liposuction with Skin Tightening (Quantum RF) be combined with other treatments?

    Yes. Depending on your goals, 360° Liposuction with Skin Tightening (Quantum RF) can be combined with procedures such as an arm lift, thigh treatment, or breast surgery. This is planned during your consultation based on safety, recovery time, and contour goals.

  • What is recovery like in the first week after 360° Liposuction with Skin Tightening (Quantum RF)?

    Swelling is normal in the first few days. The skin may feel tight and tender, and bruising can occur. You will wear compression garments day and night. Light activity, such as short walks, helps support circulation. Rest is fine, but prolonged bed rest is discouraged. You may feel soreness similar to bruising or muscle aches, which is usually well managed with pain relief.

  • What can I expect in week 2 after 360° Liposuction with Skin Tightening (Quantum RF)?

    Swelling usually starts to decrease gradually. Bruising changes colour and fades. The skin may feel firmer or somewhat hard due to healing and the Quantum RF collagen response. Many people can resume light work in this phase. You will continue wearing compression garments, and contours often begin to look more defined.

  • What happens in weeks 3 and 4 after 360° Liposuction with Skin Tightening (Quantum RF)?

    The skin starts to adapt more noticeably to the new shape. Swelling continues to reduce and tightness eases. Temporary numbness or tingling can occur and is usually normal. You can gradually increase activity; light exercise such as walking or cycling is often allowed.

  • How does it feel in weeks 5 and 6 after 360° Liposuction with Skin Tightening (Quantum RF)?

    In this phase, the skin usually feels softer and more comfortable. Most swelling has resolved and the new contour is clearly visible. Compression garments can often be reduced gradually, depending on your clinician’s advice. More intensive movement and sports can usually be reintroduced unless advised otherwise.

  • When will I see the final result of 360° Liposuction with Skin Tightening (Quantum RF)?

    While you will see changes earlier, the skin continues to improve due to Quantum RF collagen stimulation. The final result is usually assessed at around 3 to 6 months, as the skin becomes progressively firmer and smoother during that period.

  • Is it normal for my skin to feel uneven at first after 360° Liposuction with Skin Tightening (Quantum RF)?

    Yes. During healing, the skin can temporarily feel lumpy, firm, or sensitive. This usually resolves on its own as the tissues recover and soften.

  • When can I return to work after 360° Liposuction with Skin Tightening (Quantum RF)?

    For desk-based or light duties, many people return after 5 to 10 days. Heavier physical work is typically resumed after 3 to 4 weeks, depending on your recovery and the treated areas.

  • When can I exercise again after 360° Liposuction with Skin Tightening (Quantum RF)?

    Light movement such as walking is usually allowed almost immediately. More intense exercise and strength training are typically reintroduced after 4 to 6 weeks, depending on your recovery and your clinician’s advice.

  • How long do I need to wear compression garments after 360° Liposuction with Skin Tightening (Quantum RF)?

    On average, you wear compression garments for 4 to 6 weeks. This supports the skin, helps reduce swelling, and encourages the skin to adapt well to the new contour.

  • Are the results of 360° Liposuction with Skin Tightening (Quantum RF) permanent?

    The fat cells removed with 360° liposuction do not come back. With a stable weight, results remain visible long term. Weight gain can still lead to new fat storage in the remaining fat cells.

Your consultation

360 liposuction with skin tightening is not “standard liposuction”. The goal is to create a balanced contour around the entire midsection — abdomen, waist, flanks and lower back — while also improving skin quality when laxity plays a role. During a personal consultation, we assess fat distribution, skin elasticity and the realistic potential of skin tightening, so you know exactly what to expect.

During the consultation, you will receive:

  • a 360° analysis of fat distribution around the abdomen, waist, flanks and lower back

  • an assessment of skin quality and elasticity: when skin tightening is beneficial and when it is not

  • a clear explanation of the technique and available skin-tightening options (depending on what is offered in-clinic)

  • guidance on which areas can or cannot be safely combined for a harmonious result

  • aftercare advice on compression, lymphatic drainage/massage, recovery timeline and activity restrictions

  • a discussion of risks such as swelling, bruising, seroma, contour irregularities and sensory changes

  • example results and a personalised treatment plan with transparent pricing
