What is Liposuction?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes localized areas of excess fat through tiny incisions. After the fat is removed, your skin will be able to recontour to your new shape. Liposuction is not a weight loss method or treatment for obesity but is an ideal way to enhance your body contour. The procedure can be effective in treating fat deposits that do not respond to diet and exercise and even can be used to treat gynecomastia (enlarged male breasts) through breast reduction cosmetic surgery in Boston.

Dr. Tantillo offers several types of liposuction, including power-assisted liposuction (PAL) and ultrasonic liposuction (UAL). He is well versed in today's latest liposuction techniques and will discuss each type with you when you visit his office.

Who is a Candidate for Liposuction in Boston?

Women and men throughout Massachusetts choose liposuction from Dr. Tantillo to:

• Remove fat that doesn't respond to diet and exercise
• Improve body shape in areas such as the hips, thighs, stomach, or upper arms
• Increase comfort in clothing and feel better about how they look in more revealing outfits
• Compliment other surgical procedures such as tummy tuck or breast enhancement

People of all ages and from many different backgrounds have benefitted from liposuction. It is important for women and men considering the procedure to remember that liposuction is not a substitute for eating right and getting regular exercise. If you have particularly poor skin tone, liposuction may not be advisable because your skin may have a hard time reshaping itself to your leaner body contour, resulting in skin sagging and wrinkling. The best way to determine if liposuction is right for you is to talk with Dr. Tantillo one-on-one for your personal assessment.

Recovery & Results

Immediately after your Boston liposuction procedure, treated areas will be swollen and you'll be instructed to wear a compression garment. During the first few weeks following surgery swelling should gradually disappear and by three to four weeks following the surgery most people are able to see their final results. Dr. Tantillo clears most of his patients to return to non-strenuous activity during the first week following surgery and most are able to resume exercise about three to four weeks following the procedure.

Once recovery is complete, Dr. Tantillo's Boston liposuction patients can enjoy an enhanced body contour, smoother profile, and slimmer silhouette. After your procedure you can benefit from greater confidence and an enhanced self image, finally ridding yourself of those stubborn fat deposits that were detracting from your looks.
