Liposuction in Iran

What Is Liposuction?

Liposuction or lipo is a surgical procedure through which excess fat is sucked out of different body parts such as hips, thighs, belly, arms, and neck. Removing extra fat and reshaping the body by liposuction surgery can improve your appearance and self-esteem. Sometimes, liposuction is performed solely, and, in some cases, it is done at the same time as other plastic surgeries such as facelift, breast reduction, or tummy tuck.

Before Doing Liposuction in Iran

You must visit and consult your surgeon a couple of days before liposuction surgery. In this meeting, the surgeon will ask several questions about your physical and mental health, your current self-image and future expectations, and your ongoing lifestyle. Also, before the surgery, you have to consider the following tips:

• Take necessary lab tests;
• Take prescribed medications;
• Avoid smoking for at least two weeks before the surgery;
• Avoid taking aspirin and herbal supplements before the surgery; and
• Inform your doctor of your allergies.

The procedure of Liposuction in Iran

First, depending on your physical condition and the type of your surgery, the surgeon will decide which anesthesia method (local or general) is proper for you. Then, after administering anesthesia, the surgeon makes a small and hardly-noticeable incision in the desired area and inserts a narrow tube called a cannula. Finally, the surgeon removes extra fat using a surgical vacuum and cannula tube.
