Overview
Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure that effectively removes fat cells from targeted areas of the body, resulting in a smoother, more contoured result. The biggest difference between traditional liposuction versus Lipo 360 is the comprehensive ability to target multiple regions of the abdomen simultaneously, rather than a singular-targeted area. Patients can greatly benefit from eliminating unwanted fat in the waist and torso sculpting several areas to create a finer and seamlessly balanced appearance.
