Is liposuction cosmetic surgery painful

Answer 1

I am 4 weeks post-op (love handles and abs) and just now I am experiencing the pins and needles feeling. I slept (or atleast tried to) for the first time last night without the compression garment and I won't be doing the same tonight. I go for massages every other day, both ultrasound and hand, and they still hurt like crazy. Today was number 18 and I think I'm going to wait for the nerves to finish "waking up." The results are incredible, I had 16 pounds removed (I'm 6'2"), and the love handles are gone, as well as the belly. Would I do it again, yeah, but would dread it greatly. Not to say that misery loves company, but I feel much better to know I am not alone in this long and slow recovery.

Answer 2

Many Plastic Surgeons choose to carry out Liposuction under general anaesthetic, especially if therevare large volumes of fat to remove. In this case the procedure itself will be painless. You can expect some bruising and swelling after the operation which will be uncomfortable for a while.

Modern liposuction equipment such as Laser asiisted liposuction or vaser liposuction is developed to be performed under local anaesthetic with or without sedation. This means that you will not be completely asleep for the procedure.

In most cases these procedures are well tolerated by the Patient , but you may feel a little discomfort as the local anaesthetic is bring administered.
