12 areas of lipo anatomically different than I what I'm picturing in my head?

calixalegriaMay 29, 2015
Hello, I am confused about the 12 areas of lipo included in a deal I am looking at. Lower & upper abdomen Flanks (right & left) Waist (right & left) Upper & lower back It sounds like that covers the whole upper body. But it seems like only 8 areas. Am I wrong? Or are these areas typically broken down into smaller areas that would make it 12? Thanks
