I am going to have tumescent lipo under local NOT general! So I am wanting to know if the actual injections of the tumescent fluid is painful or do the 1st shots numb you from everything? Thank you so much I haven't been able to get an answer on this
Realistically, you can expect some discomfort with procedures done under local anesthesia only. At the minimal, this would be similar to going to the dentist and having local anesthesia injected.
Be very careful about promises made that sound too good to be true...
Best wishes.
I had tumescent liposuction on my stomach and love handles 18 days ago. On day 16, I became swollen and sore, almost so much that it looks like I did not have the procedure. I also noticed some hard lumps around where my pants fall. Are all these normal? Does it get worse before it gets better? I almost feel like I'm in more pain than I was right after the procedure. I am getting my arms done in a couple of weeks and am wondering if the same thing will happen.
Thank you for your question.
Swelling is part of the healing process. I ask my liposuction patients to wear a compression garment for 4 weeks post op surgery to help with the swelling. The swelling can take months to subside and even longer for skin to “redrape". At that point you will see the final results.
Some “lumps” are occasionally seen after liposuction surgery. Massage of these areas may be helpful.
Best Wishes.
