Liposuction Surgery

For many people who are frustrated with their diet and exercise routine, cosmetic surgery will be the only option left, and one of these common liposuction surgeries is the subject of this article. On the other hand, Iran has a long history of brilliance in medicine. And fitness surgery is no exception. Therefore, here we want to introduce liposuction in Iran to you.

Liposuction is a procedure in which excess fat is removed by suction. During liposuction, small, thin tubes (canola) are inserted into small incisions in the skin that have already been made. Through these tubes, fat is removed from the body. The physician can move these tubes under the skin to target a specific position. In recent years, improved techniques have made the liposuction process safer and easier, and the patient feels less pain. These new techniques include the following:
Local anesthesia liposuction: This type of liposuction uses local anesthesia to anesthetize the area of the body where the thin tubes are to be placed. Next, before the liposuction process begins, a large amount of the anesthetic solution, which usually contains lidocaine and epinephrine, is injected into the adipose tissue. Liposuction with local anesthesia may not require general anesthesia.
Ultrasound-assisted liposuction: This technique uses ultrasound to remove fat, which makes it easier and more convenient to remove fat from the body. This technique is very effective for removing fat in areas such as the neck, upper abdomen, around the body and back.
Laser Liposuction: This technique uses low-energy waves to remove fat. Eventually, the fat that has been liquefied is expelled from the body through canola tubes.
Liposuction is an outpatient procedure that is usually performed in a doctor’s office, surgery center or hospital. Generally, you do not need to stay in the hospital after liposuction unless a large amount of fat has been removed. In some cases, local anesthesia is used. Sedatives may be used to help the patient. If large amounts of fat are to be removed from the body, general anesthesia or deep sedation with a local anesthetic should be used.

Liposuction in Iran: What should you expect after liposuction?

After the liposuction procedure is completed, the affected area of the body is tightly closed to prevent swelling, bruising, and pain. Elastic bands and adhesives can cover this area. You may need to wear special clothing or cover the area tightly for 3 to 4 weeks. For 7 to 10 days, the affected area will be bruised and swollen. For several days, fluid may be secreted from the sutured site. To reduce the risk of infection, you should use antibiotics prescribed by your doctor. Most people can get up and move after the healing process is complete and the numbing effect wears off. As soon as you feel relaxed and comfortable, you can return to your daily activities. Of course, this can take from a few days to a few weeks. Most people will be able to return to work in a few days. If the treated area is large and extensive, recovery will take a long time.

Liposuction in Iran: Why is liposuction performed?

Perhaps the main reason for liposuction is to shape the organs of the body. In most cases, the goal is not to lose weight. Liposuction is usually used for some areas that do not respond well to diet and exercise. These areas are most often the thighs and buttocks in women and the waist and back in men. The face, neck, abdomen, back, legs and arms are common areas to be treated. Liposuction is sometimes performed in conjunction with other cosmetic surgeries such as abdominoplasty, breast reduction or facelift. It can also be used to treat certain medical conditions. These conditions include:
Benign fat tumor
Abnormal breast enlargement in men
Problems with fat metabolism in the body
Excessive sweating in the armpits

Liposuction is not used to treat obesity.

Liposuction in Iran: How effective is liposuction?

Liposuction is usually very effective in removing fat deposits from small areas of the body. But if you gain weight after liposuction, the fat that was removed from the body may return and the previous shape of the body may reappear. Some improvements in body shape will be noticeable right after surgery. Improvements that are made may show up after a few weeks or even months. The full effect of liposuction may not be noticeable for several months to a year. Liposuction (except for laser-assisted liposuction) usually does not tighten the treated area. After the excess fat is removed from the body, the skin around it will also loosen. It will take 6 months for the skin to become firmer. Some people’s skin is very elastic and adapts faster than other people’s skin. Younger skin has more elasticity. Usually people who use liposuction for weight loss will be disappointed.
