Liposuction in Basra: Cost and Results

Yes, this is standard practice. A single area on its own is rarely treated — patients more often combine several problem zones, such as the abdomen and flanks, or inner and outer thighs. At the consultation our surgeons help define the best scope of surgery for your health and the result you want.

No. Liposuction is not a weight-loss method; it targets local fat deposits that resist diet and exercise and reshapes the body's contours. First see a nutritionist or endocrinologist if your weight is unstable.

Punctures of only 3–7 mm are used, and they usually don't need stitches. After healing the marks are hardly visible; with good aftercare during recovery they fade completely.

Skin tone, elasticity and turgor are always checked by the surgeon before surgery. Good skin tightens on its own and adapts to the new contours. If the tone is reduced or stretch marks are present, our specialists will recommend preparatory treatments that improve the skin in advance.

No, you are under anesthesia during the procedure — local or general, depending on the scope. After surgery there may be mild discomfort, relieved by painkillers prescribed by the doctor.

First 7 days — no physical effort or heavy lifting. For 4–6 weeks — compression garments and no bathhouse, sauna, pool or active sport. At least one month without alcohol and tanning beds. After surgery, your surgeon will give all individual recommendations.

We operate on patients aged 18+ with no contraindications. There is no upper age limit — the decision is made individually after an examination and health assessment.

Not directly. The skin structure that causes cellulite is not changed by liposuction, which removes fat tissue. Yet the improved contours visibly reduce its appearance.

Most patients are back to work and daily life in 7–10 days. By weeks 4–5 the swelling and bruising are gone. After 3–6 months, when the tissues fully adapt, the final result is formed.

There's no need for a strict diet, but nutrition is key to keeping the result. Removed fat cells stay gone; the remaining cells, however, can grow if you gain weight. For a long-lasting result, keep a balanced diet and regular physical activity.

Yes. You need to stop smoking, alcohol and medications that affect blood clotting (aspirin, etc.) 7–10 days before liposuction, and pass pre-op tests: blood tests, ECG, ultrasound, GP and anesthesiologist consultations. All instructions are provided after your first consultation.

2 weeks after surgery, once the main swelling subsides, first changes appear. At 1.5–2 months the interim result is assessed. Final contours form in 3–6 months.
