Frequently Asked Questions About Liposuction

Who are candidates for liposuction?

Lipo is not recommended for all people and is not a good choice for all bodies. For instance, it is not appropriate for pregnant women, nursing mothers, or diabetics. But for whom is it really efficient?

People with a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 30 or less can benefit from this treatment. It means that the greater the body mass, the more risks, and less desired results.

Moreover, healthy people with a stable weight who need to shape their body in specific areas can undergo this body contouring surgery. In fact, the right candidate is someone who has tried to burn away his/her fat pockets through diet or hard work but has not succeeded in doing so. In this case, lipoplasty can let them achieve the look they want.

What lipo can do and what limo can’t do ?
Lipo aims at eliminating the excess fat packed in certain parts of the body like belly, hips, thighs, arms, and love handles. Liposuction is a body-contouring procedure, not a weight-loss method or a solution to morbid obesity. If you’re overweight, you’d better go through a bariatric surgery rather than a lipo to lose a significant amount of weight.

Is liposuction painful?
As the surgery involves numbing, you won’t feel any pain during the procedure itself. After the numbing effect wears off, you will start to experience some levels of pain and soreness around the incisions or targeted areas. If needed, your doctor will prescribe some painkillers to help you get through the pain.

How can I reduce swelling after liposuction/lipomatic surgery?

Unlike other complications which subside within 2 weeks, swelling won’t disappear easily. It usually takes around 3 to 4 weeks for the inflammation to go away. To reduce swelling, you should wear your compression garment and apply ice compress on the treated spot. Having a healthy diet and walking on a daily basis can also help.

How can I get my Liposuction arranged in Iran?

From getting a visa, arranging doctor’s and hospital appointment, and booking a hotel, to post-op care, intra-city transportation, and the language barrier, there are many hassles in traveling on your own. Dr. Daryani Clinic handles all this affairs for you in a professional fashion, without you having to take the risk of being swindled by unlicensed middlemen.
