​Liposuction in Iran all you need to know

First of all, let’s check if weight loss or liposuction is right for us?

Calculate your body mass index. If your BMI is above 40, you are a perfect case for bariatric surgery. If your BMI is between 35 and 40, you are a suitable case for obesity surgery, but consult your doctor for a more definite opinion. For BMI below 35, liposuction and body contouring can be a suitable option for you.

Liposuction is one of the most common cosmetic procedures in the world. Liposuction involves the removal of adipose tissue using a device that has a narrow tube. This narrow tube, called a cannula, enters the body by making small incision in the desired areas and sucks the fat out of the body like a vacuum cleaner and removes it from the body.

The most common fat removal surgery procedures are: abdominal liposuction, chin liposuction, arm liposuction, neck liposuction, thigh liposuction, hip liposuction, back liposuction and facial liposuction, etc.

Extracted fats can be used to inject and highlight other areas such as Facial fat injection, Fat injection into the buttocks, Fat injection into the breast, Fat injection into the legs and Fat injection into the back of the hand, etc.

A variety of body sculpting methods with liposuction

Laser liposuction or lipolysis

In laser liposuction, fat cells are destroyed by laser and liquefied Without harming other tissues.

Decomposed fat is excreted over time through the body’s lymphatic system, or in large volumes, fat is removed by liposuction.

Lipolysis (laser liposuction) is a safe procedure that has a short recovery period, causes slight swelling and bruising, and makes the skin surface perfectly smooth.

The duration of laser liposuction surgery is almost doubled.

Lipomatic liposuction

Lipomatic is the newest method for removing localized fats in the world. The device removes fats with high accuracy with three types of zigzag, vibration and rotation movements in the canola tip. Also, the vibrations of the device during liposuction stimulate the collagen production of the skin. The structure of the device is such that it protects the nerves, muscles and blood vessels.

VASER liposuction

In ultrasonic liposuction or VASER lipo, which is the most common method of body contouring, tumescent  fluid (salt solution mixed with anesthesia) is injected into the treated part of the patient’s body.

The VASER liposuction ultrasound waves to hit fat cells, vibrating them and turning them into fluid.

In this method of liposuction, salt solution is used to maintain and protect the nerves, muscles and blood vessels, and less bleeding and bruising is caused.

Pre- body contouring procedures

Prior to liposuction, a person’s physical health, blood problems, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or immune system problems are checked.

Be sure to tell your doctor if you have a specific illness or are taking herbal medicines or supplements.

Candidates for body sculpting must be over 18 years old and have no problems with blood flow, such as coronary artery disease, diabetes, or a weakened immune system.

Blood pressure medications or blood thinners, such as aspirin, vitamins, and anti-inflammatory drugs, as well as birth control pills should be stopped a few weeks before surgery.

After Lipo 360 surgery:

• You may have pain after lipo sculpt, which is completely controllable with painkillers.
• An responsible adult must be with you 24 hours after surgery.
• Try to rest more on the first day and avoid too much movement and try not to raise your heart rate.
• Walking from the second day is very useful.
• It may be necessary to wear tight clothing for several weeks to reduce the risk of swelling. Antibiotics will also be prescribed to reduce the risk of infection.
• You can take a shower 48 hours after the fat reduction surgery
• Applying a lubricating cream or olive oil on the skin of the suction will help the skin to heal faster.
• A brief white discharge from incision is a healing process and is not an infection.

How liposuction surgery is done

All methods are almost the same. Only in the Vizer method, at the beginning of the operation, a sterile fluid, a mixture of water and salt, an anesthetic to reduce pain, and a drug that narrows the arteries are injected. It tightens the tissue and reduces bleeding and pain control after surgery. It also provides fluid resuscitation for the patient.

Then, in all sculpting procedures, 2-3 mm incisions are made and a thin rod called a cannula is used to suck up body fat. Controlled movement back and forth releases and sucks fat under the skin to give that area a new shape.

The duration of the operation is one to four hours, depending on the procedure and the volume of fat that is removed from the body.

Contraindications to liposuction.

Liposuction is not possible if fat has accumulated in the abdominal organs, and your only solution is exercise, diet, or slimming procedures such as gastric sleeve and gastric bypass. Because fats accumulate in the vicinity of vital tissues of the body such as the stomach and intestines, it is not possible to empty them safely.

People with a body mass index or BMI of 35 or higher are not suitable for this procedure. These people can use other methods such as gastric bypass or gastric sleeve to lose weight.

No more than 6 liters of fat can be removed in each liposuction procedure, and if more fat needs to be removed, it must do so during subsequent operations.

In women who have given birth or people who have suddenly lost or gained weight, loose and sagging skin is seen. These people are drained of fat by liposuction alone. But to correct sagging skin, they have to do tummy tuck, hip lift, arm lift, breast lift, and mommy makeover.

Possible complications of liposuction

This operation is a low-complication operation if it is performed in a surgical center equipped with scientific principles and by a specialized and skilled doctor. By observing scientific standards, the possibility of fat embolism is very low and in case of fat embolism, it is eliminated with special care.

Bleeding, infection, and the reaction to anesthesia are the main risks that liposuction can pose. Other complications of liposuction surgery include the following:

Bruising, inflammation, temporary numbness, allergic reactions to medications, skin abnormalities (if irregular fat is removed, there may be bumps on the skin), blood clots, heart and kidney problems.
