Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure to remove fats that seem unresolvable by diet and exercise. It is also called Lipoplasty, Liposculpture suction, Lipectomy, or Lipo. For decades, Liposuction has been one of the most popular body shaping methods. Like all elective cosmetic surgeries, the cost is a major limiting factor.
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) has reported that the average cost of Liposuction in 2017 was $3,374. The cost of surgery depends on various factors, such as the patient’s condition, the size of the treatment area, the cost of anesthesia, and the clinical center where the surgery is performed.
The surgeon usually works on your pelvis, abdomen, thighs, buttocks, back, arms, and under your chin or face to improve their shape. Liposuction can also be performed with other plastic surgeries such as face and breast lifts, breast reduction surgery, and abdominoplasty.
It is also used to eliminate excess fat tissue in men with a medical condition called gynecomastia (breast enlargement in men). Liposuction aims to remove stubborn fat deposits, usually located on the abdomen, buttocks, waist, and thighs. This method is a potential solution for those who wish to reshape their body to look more attractive.
The Cost of Liposuction in Iran and Other Countries
The total cost of Liposuction is often determined by the entire cost of the procedure plus the surgery’s associated expenditures. When Liposuction is done in a surgeon’s office or a surgical facility, the cost is determined by the surgeon’s salary and the additional expenditures associated with your liposuction procedure. When comparing the expenses of Liposuction in one clinic to those in other clinics, or when comparing a surgeon’s salary to those of other doctors, make sure to include all of the adverse effects stated in this article from The Amitis Health Tourism when evaluating the ultimate cost.
You need to seek counsel from numerous clinics and offices to get a fair wage. Because if you call one office and ask about the cost of Liposuction, the operators may only be able to provide you with information about the surgeon’s salary and other essential costs, such as the cost of the anesthesiologist, but not the cost of the operating room or other liposuction-related costs. Some surgeons like to provide their patients with a detailed breakdown of all the costs associated with their liposuction procedure.
This list may also include the cost of Liposuction separately. Some doctors like to provide potential patients with an itemized list of expected liposuction charges. The surgical fee (money given to the surgeon for his services), anesthesiologist’s fee, operating room fee, pre-operative laboratory test fees, payments for post-operative elastic compression garments, and maybe antibiotics and other necessary medications are all examples of different expenditures.

Liposuction in Iran FAQ
iposuction is used to remove fat in areas of the body that have not responded to diet and exercise, such as:
Abdomen, upper arms, buttocks, legs, ankles, chest, back, buttocks, thighs, chin, and neck
In general, suitable candidates for liposuction are:
Adults within 30% of their ideal weight who have firm, elastic skin and good muscle tone, healthy individuals who do not have a life-threatening illness or medical conditions that can impair healing, and nonsmokers.
Liposuction is not a general method for weight loss. People who undergo liposuction usually have a stable body weight but wish to eliminate undesirable deposits of body fat in certain parts of the body. Liposuction is not a general method for weight loss and is not a cure for obesity.
Generally, it takes 6 to 12 weeks for the final result to be observed after liposuction. Immediately after liposuction, you will see a rapid fat reduction, but you will experience swelling/bruising over the next few days for 2 to 3 weeks.
Liposuction is not painful, as you will most likely undergo general anesthesia for this operation. However, you may feel considerable discomfort after regaining consciousness.
Liposuction permanently removes fat cells from the body.
Once the fat is removed from an area, it does not grow back. The fat cells that remain can get bigger with weight gain. Because there are fewer fat cells in the treated area (as compared to before the procedure), other areas of your body that were not treated may appear to increase in size.
Each liposuction procedure may result in the removal of a maximum of 4000-5000 cc of fat. Some patients lose weight after liposuction by maintaining a healthy and balanced lifestyle.
Almost all surgeries result in scarring, and liposuction is no exception. While the incision is usually less than an inch long, they are made on the skin, which can result in a visible scar.
Specific possible complications of liposuction include:
Irregular body shape due to uneven fat removal, poor skin elasticity, and unusual healing, uneven, wavy, or withered skin, fluid accumulation, numbness, infection, fat embolism, kidney and heart problems, lidocaine poisoning are other risks of this surgery.
Most liposuction surgeries are performed on the outside or inside of the thigh. Liposuction in the anterior thigh may lead to skin irregularities and patient dissatisfaction. The most common areas of the foot that are treated are the middle thighs, the lateral part of the thighs, inside of the knees, ankles, and legs.
The most popular form of liposuction, as well as the most common cosmetic procedure in the United States, is Tumescent liposuction, which is more effective, safer, and more painful than traditional liposuction, and has a faster recovery time. This operation is performed on an outpatient basis and does not require general anesthesia.
While liposuction can make a big difference in the body, one thing it cannot do is tighten the skin. This is an important aspect of body contouring, because, without adequate examination and planning, a person’s skin may appear loose after liposuction.
After liposuction, you should avoid sitting for a long time for at least 6 weeks and try to sit up straight. This is to prevent wrinkles on the skin of the abdomen. You should also wear loose clothing for a while.
If approved by your doctor, you may take a shower 24 to 48 hours after surgery and be sure to dry the stitches after bathing.
Most patients should wear a garment after liposuction. Most surgeons use light garments after liposuction. It is best to use them as much as possible and for at least about 6 weeks.
Plastic surgeons agree that adding a series of lymphatic massages to a patient’s postoperative care routine can help improve the patient. The massage method helps to reduce swelling and improve aesthetic results by reducing tissue congestion.
Without lymphatic massage, inflammation can turn into fibrosis (permanent tissue tightening) or form a seroma (accumulation of fluids).
It is advised not to sit directly on the toilet. If necessary, patients are asked to refrain from sitting for long periods, especially in the first two weeks after surgery, to ensure a healthy recovery and success in fat transplantation.
If you are overweight, the surgeon will tell you about what to do before liposuction surgery. If you only have one or more areas where there are fat deposits that you like to eliminate, you are unlikely to need to slim down first.
If you are interested in other body-forming methods, talk to your plastic surgeon. You may be able to perform liposuction at the same time as other cosmetic surgery procedures such as facelifts, breast lifts, or abdominoplasty.
