Introduction:
In neighboring countries, Iranian doctors are known as skilled and experienced doctors. Doctors who are able to treat any difficult disease; This reputation attracts many patients from other countries to Iran for treatment. Not only private hospitals but also government hospitals have become the destination for some of these patients.
Most of the foreign patients who came to Iran for treatment are from Iraq, the Kurdistan region, Azerbaijan and Oman. Before they come, they email the medical documents to the hospital, and after receiving a positive response, they plan to travel to Iran for several days. In order for the examination process not to take long, we accept these patients without an appointment.
On the other hand, the medical staff keeps in contact with foreign patients who undergo treatment and return to their country, and follows up on their condition. On the other hand, if patients need information or assistance, the medical staff responds to them via e-mail and WhatsApp.
We have 4,000 non-Iranian outpatients and inpatients every year, and in recent years, most of them are from Iraq and Iraqi Kurdistan. Of course, we also have tourists from Azerbaijan, Tajikistan, Turkey, Europe and even America.
Foreign patients who come to Iran for treatment are of two groups: 1. The first group is looking for Cosmetic Procedures 2. The second group is looking for Medical Procedures, in this article we talk about both groups in detail.
The first group travels to Iran to undergo the following plastic surgeries:
- Rhinoplasty:
Rhinoplasty is one of the common treatments in Iran. It is performed to modify the shape of the nose and improve the aesthetic balance of the face. The operation can include nose reduction, augmentation, or reshaping of the cartilaginous tip or arch. Surgeons use precise techniques to achieve results that are natural and consistent.
In the field of rhinoplasty, we must say that the types of noses are performed in the best way in Iran. Meaty nose surgery, bony nose, Arabic nose, fantasy (dummy) nose, snub nose, damaged or broken nose, nose that needs restoration and correction (reconstructive or secondary nose), all in Iran and the cities of Shiraz, Tehran and Mashhad, are performed at the best and cheapest prices.
- Facelift surgery:
Facial plastic surgery aims to rejuvenate and tighten the face and neck for a more youthful appearance. Excess skin is removed and the connective tissues under the skin are tightened to reduce wrinkles and sagging. The surgery may be combined with other procedures such as a forehead lift and eyelid surgery to achieve comprehensive results.
Facelift is done in several ways in Iran. Those who do not have a lot of sagging at a young age can get a laser facelift or thread facelift. As for those over 40 years old, they are performed through microsurgery, and the result of facelift surgery remains for 10 years if it is performed by a skilled and skilled doctor in Iran.
- Hair Transplantation:
Hair transplantation is a common procedure in Iran for the treatment of hair loss and baldness. The process involves extracting and transplanting hair from the donor areas of the scalp that are hardened to areas affected by hair loss. Advanced techniques such as FUE (root unit extraction) hair transplantation are used to achieve natural and permanent results.
Regarding the most used techniques in Iran in hair transplantation these days, they are:
- Strip hair transplantation technique
- FUE hair transplantation technique
- Nano FUE hair transplantation technique
- Sapphire hair transplantation technique
- Micrograph Technology
- Direct hair transplantation with Choi pens
- Robotic hair transplant
- Stem cell hair transplant.
However, the suggestion of Ariana’s doctors is the Macrograph technique, because it is easy, accurate, low cost, and has a high success rate.
- Abdominoplasty:
Abdominoplasty aims to remove excess skin and tighten the abdominal muscles to achieve a flat and taut appearance of the abdomen. A tummy tuck may also include removing excess fat, slimming the waist, and reshaping existing cellulite in the area. The procedure is performed by making an incision in the abdomen through which excess skin and fat are removed and the connective muscles are tightened to achieve a tighter and more toned appearance.
It should be noted that there is a difference between abdominoplasty for women and men. In addition to reducing fat, some men seek to create a sporty abdomen in which the abdominal muscles (sixpak) are highlighted and defined. As for women, the goal is to narrow the abdominal belt area, forming that area in the form of an hourglass, and showing the hips more prominently (Brazilian butt).
The suggestion of our doctors in Iran and in the city of Shiraz for men is a flat abdomen, and our suggestion for women is a narrow abdomen and Brazilian buttocks.
- Lip Augmentation:
Lip augmentation includes procedures to improve the size and shape of the lips. This is done by injecting fillers such as hyaluronic acid or lip implants to create a fuller, more youthful appearance and enhance lip definition and more appropriate exposure.
There are several ways to make the lips bigger and more beautiful in Iran, the most common of which are gel injections (fillers) or central lip surgery, both of which are known as lip inversion, and all of them must be performed by a skilled doctor so that there are no side effects.
- Breast Augmentation:
Breast augmentation involves breast implants or the use of fillers to increase the size and shape of the breast. Silicone or saline solutions are often used to achieve tangible and natural results. Breast augmentation is one of the most popular and desired procedures in Iran.
In the field of breast augmentation and cosmetic breast with prostheses (silicone breasts), we must say that this operation is also performed for cancer patients in breast reconstruction, bearing in mind that American prostheses are used in Iran.
- Droopy eyelids treatment (eyelid lift and eye widening):
Lifting droopy eyelids is a common procedure in Iran. Doctors in Iran have a lot of experience in performing eyelid lift surgeries to improve the appearance of the eye and improve vision in cases of eyelid blockage or eyelid function impairment.
Here it is necessary to say that the prosthetic eye is also made in Iran and is skillfully applied to people in need so that the healthy eye cannot be distinguished from the prosthetic eye.
It should be noted that before performing any cosmetic surgery, a specialist should be consulted, a personal evaluation of the condition should be obtained, and possible expectations and risks should be discussed. You should also look for a reliable and reputable hospital or medical center in Iran to get the best results.
