Liposuction in Baghdad: Areas and Price

Yes — combining is standard practice. Single-area treatment is rare; patients usually combine several problem zones, e.g. the abdomen and flanks or the inner and outer thighs. Our surgeons will work out the optimal scope of surgery with you at the consultation, based on your health and goals.

No. Liposuction is not a weight-loss method. It is meant to remove local fat deposits that resist diet and exercise and to reshape body contours. If your weight is unstable, see a nutritionist or endocrinologist first.

Liposuction is performed through 3–7 mm punctures that usually require no stitches. The healed marks are barely visible and, with proper care during recovery, disappear completely.

The surgeon always assesses skin tone, elasticity and turgor before surgery. Skin in good condition tightens on its own and follows the new contours. If tone is reduced or there are stretch marks, our specialists will recommend preparatory treatments to improve the skin in advance.

No — you have anesthesia during the procedure (local or general, depending on the scope). Mild post-op discomfort is possible and is managed with painkillers prescribed by the doctor.

For the first 7 days, no physical exertion or heavy lifting. For 4–6 weeks, wear compression garments and avoid the bathhouse, sauna, pool and active sport. Alcohol and tanning beds are off-limits for at least a month. Your surgeon gives all individual recommendations after surgery.

We operate from age 18+, if there are no contraindications. There is no upper age limit — after an examination and health assessment, the decision is made individually.

Not directly. Liposuction takes away fat, not the skin structure responsible for cellulite. However, the improved body contours visibly reduce its appearance.

Most patients get back to their usual routine and work in 7–10 days. Swelling and bruising clear by weeks 4–5. The final result forms in 3–6 months, once the tissues have fully adapted.

No strict diet is needed, yet nutrition plays a role in keeping the result. Removed fat cells don't return, but the ones left can grow if you gain weight. To make the result last, we recommend a balanced diet and regular physical activity.

Yes. Give up smoking, alcohol and medications that affect clotting (aspirin, etc.) 7–10 days before liposuction. Pre-operative tests — blood tests, ECG, ultrasound, GP and anesthesiologist consultations — are also required. You'll receive all instructions after the first consultation.

The first changes show at 2 weeks after surgery, with the main swelling down. An interim result is assessed at 1.5–2 months, and the final contours are formed in 3–6 months.
