Stomach Botox is only suitable for those who have some extra kilograms of weight or those who struggle with their appetite control; people who have failed to lose weight using different diets, people who could not maintain a healthy lifestyle.
However, this technology is not suitable for those who are overweight or obese or those who suffer from chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart conditions, or blood pressure.
