Liposuction in Boston: Areas and Price

Yes, it is standard practice. Patients rarely have one area treated alone and more often combine several problem zones, such as abdomen and flanks or inner and outer thighs. Our surgeons will help define the optimal scope of surgery at the consultation, based on your health and the result you want.

No. Liposuction is not a weight-loss method. It is meant to remove local fat deposits that resist diet and exercise and to reshape body contours. If your weight is unstable, see a nutritionist or endocrinologist first.

The surgery requires punctures of only 3–7 mm, usually without stitches. After healing the marks are barely visible; with the right care during recovery they fade completely.

The surgeon always checks skin tone, elasticity and turgor before the operation. When the skin is in good condition, it tightens on its own along the new contours. If tone is lower or stretch marks are present, our specialists suggest preparatory treatments to improve the skin in advance.

No. Anesthesia — local or general depending on the scope — is used for the procedure. After surgery you might feel mild discomfort, which is relieved with painkillers prescribed by your doctor.

Avoid physical exertion and heavy lifting for the first 7 days. For 4–6 weeks you wear compression garments and skip the bathhouse, sauna, pool and active sport. Alcohol and tanning beds are ruled out for at least a month. The surgeon gives personal recommendations after the operation.

We carry out the surgery for patients 18+ with no contraindications. An upper age limit does not exist — each case is decided individually after an examination and health assessment.

Not directly. The skin structure that causes cellulite is not changed by liposuction, which removes fat tissue. Yet the improved contours visibly reduce its appearance.

Most patients are back to work and daily life in 7–10 days. By weeks 4–5 the swelling and bruising are gone. After 3–6 months, when the tissues fully adapt, the final result is formed.

No strict diet is needed, yet nutrition plays a role in keeping the result. Removed fat cells don't return, but the ones left can grow if you gain weight. To make the result last, we recommend a balanced diet and regular physical activity.

Yes. 7–10 days before liposuction, stop smoking, alcohol and medicines that affect blood clotting (aspirin, etc.). You also need pre-op tests: blood tests, ECG, ultrasound, and GP and anesthesiologist consultations. You'll get all instructions after your first consultation.

You'll see the first changes 2 weeks after surgery as the main swelling subsides. The interim result is judged at 1.5–2 months; the final contours take 3–6 months to form.
