Turn Resistant Fat Into Refined Contours
Boston-area patients trust Finesse for VASER, SmartLipo, and Lipo 360 performed in an accredited surgical setting.
Your liposuction experience should prioritize your comfort, safety, and personal goals from your first consultation through recovery.
At our boutique, low-volume practice, Dr. Arthur Shektman takes time to evaluate your proportions, understand the changes you want to make, and explain which treatment approach may best fit your body.
Here’s why patients come to Finesse Cosmetic Surgery from around the greater Boston area for liposuction results they love:
“I have no words to describe the professionalism, the moral integrity and the genuine patient-care that I have experienced at Finesse. Wonderful final results, and a level of happiness with myself I hadn’t felt in decades.”
“Smart Liposuction at Finesse got rid of what workouts couldn’t. Tight, defined, confident — done.”
“I received my Smart-Lipo procedure of my upper & lower abdomen, my flanks & my lower back just over two months ago. I LOVE my results and more importantly, I love the way I feel about myself. I’ve always dreamed about having the level of confidence that I have right now because of Finesse! I feel so beautiful!”
Dr. Shektman uses a range of advanced liposuction techniques to create smooth, natural-looking contours tailored to your goals.
Using ultrasonic energy, VASER liposuction gently breaks down fat while preserving surrounding tissue, allowing for more precise contouring with less swelling and a quicker recovery.
Lipo 360 targets the abdomen, waist, flanks, and lower back to create a more balanced, sculpted silhouette from every angle.
SmartLipo uses laser-assisted technology to melt fat before removal while supporting skin tightening—helping create firmer, more defined results in areas like the abdomen, hips, and thighs.
Finesse Cosmetic Surgery specializes in minimally invasive liposuction techniques that can reduce tissue trauma and shorten downtime compared with traditional liposuction.
Recovery varies based on the areas treated and the amount of fat removed, but this comparison offers a practical starting point. See which procedure may suit you best:
These are general timelines. Our team will provide a more specific recovery plan based on your procedure and the number of areas treated.
If diet and exercise have improved your fitness but certain areas still look out of proportion, liposuction can remove localized deposits of fat beneath the skin and create smoother transitions between surrounding areas.
Liposuction may be right for you if:
If loose skin or weakened abdominal muscles are contributing to your concerns, Dr. Shektman can explain whether liposuction alone or a different body-contouring procedure, like a tummy tuck, would provide a better result.
You’ll meet one-on-one with Dr. Shektman to discuss the areas you want to change. He’ll assess your fat distribution, skin elasticity, muscle tone, and overall proportions before recommending VASER, Smartlipo, Lipo 360, or another approach.
Dr. Shektman will mark the treatment areas before making small, strategically placed incisions. Fat is loosened and removed through a thin cannula in our Joint Commission-accredited surgical center, and most patients return home the same day with a trusted adult.
You’ll wear a compression garment to control swelling and help the treated tissues adapt to their new contours. Follow-up visits allow Dr. Shektman to monitor your healing and guide your return to work, exercise, and normal activities.
Your care is led by Dr. Arthur Shektman, a board-certified plastic surgeon with more than 25 years of experience.

The cost of liposuction at Finesse depends on the technique used, the number and size of the areas treated, and the complexity of your procedure. After evaluating your goals and anatomy during a consultation, our team will provide a personalized quote that includes the expected costs.
Liposuction is not a weight loss procedure—it is designed to refine and sculpt your shape.
Like any surgery, liposuction carries risks such as bleeding, infection, fluid buildup, contour irregularities, changes in sensation, blood clots, and reactions to anesthesia. Choosing an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon and following all pre- and post-operative instructions can help reduce these risks.
Yes, many patients combine liposuction with procedures like a tummy tuck or breast augmentation for more comprehensive results.
Treated fat cells are permanently removed. Results can last for years with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.
