How 360° Abdomen & Love Handle Liposuction works

Treating only the front can leave the sides and back untouched and the waist looking boxy. A 360° approach shapes the whole circumference.

Visceral fat inside the abdomen cannot be removed by liposuction, so belly shape depends partly on this deeper fat.
