Liposuction Performed by Boston Cosmetic Surgeon Dr. Bartlett

Doctor Bartlett - Liposuction

Liposuction is one the most popular plastic surgery procedures because it is highly effective in removing unwanted fatty deposits and recovery is rapid. However, it is not a weight loss strategy and patients who are significantly overweight are not candidates for the procedure.

Liposuction surgery must be performed with care to assure the best result and minimize problems. Richard A. Bartlett, M.D. is known for his meticulous and careful approach when using liposuction to treat problem areas where fatty deposits often occur. During your liposuction consultation at his Boston-based practice, he will identify areas for treatment. As with every cosmetic surgery, Dr. Bartlett applies his usual perfectionism and aesthetic eye when performing liposuction to sculpt fatty tissue and create a smooth, pleasing contour.
