What is Liposuction?

Liposuction, offered by Dr. Polous, is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed at removing excess fat deposits from specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks, arms, and neck. Using a suction technique, Dr. Polous skillfully breaks up and extracts fat through small, discreet incisions, resulting in a more sculpted and contoured appearance. This procedure is ideal for individuals looking to target stubborn fat that is resistant to diet and exercise, helping them achieve a smoother and more proportionate physique.

What can I expect from my Northborough liposuction procedure?

Liposuction is an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Poulos creates tiny incisions in strategic areas to minimize visible scarring. To ensure noticeable yet natural-looking results, Dr. Poulos is careful to not overcorrect or under-correct the treatment area. Once she is finished removing the desired amount of fat, Dr. Poulos will close the incisions and place a compression garment to support the healing tissues.

Who is a good candidate for liposuction?

Contrary to what many people believe, liposuction is not a weight loss procedure. Instead, the procedure reduces small pockets of fat that are unresponsive to diet and exercise efforts. For best results, patients should be at or near their ideal weight and have good skin elasticity and muscle tone. Dr. Poulos will design your treatment plan after evaluating your anatomy, aesthetic concerns and goals.

Liposuction can be used to help reduce fat in the following areas:

  • Abdomen
  • Waist
  • Hips
  • Buttocks
  • Back
  • Upper arms
  • Inner and outer thighs
  • Chest area
  • Inner knees
  • Chin and neck

What can I expect from recovery?

Dr. Poulos will be actively involved in your recovery, meeting with you regularly to monitor your healing progress. Bruising, swelling and soreness are normal during the first few weeks of recovery, but these symptoms will subside over time. Dr. Poulos may prescribe oral pain medication and make adjustments to your recovery to minimize discomfort. She will also advise you on when it is safe to resume normal activities, including work and exercise, based on your healing progress.

What will my results be like?

Results with liposuction are considered to be long-lasting. Once the fat cells are removed, they cannot grow back. However, because future weight gain is still possible, Dr. Poulos recommends you maintain your slimmer physique by making healthy lifestyle choices (e.g., eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly).
