Is Lipo Procedure Painful?

I can speak from personal experince and lipo is more soreness and not really painful.Your doctor will give you pain pills which is all you really need but ice also helps.

Liposuction is easy to undergo and almost painless when done by an experiences lipo doc and is so much safer when not done under general anesthesia. Whether it is with only tumescent local anesthesia or with the addition of alittle IV sedation, you should have a pleasant experience and  be telling all your friends how easy it was. My patients watch DVD BluRay 3D movies on a headset during the procedure or take a nape or just listen to soothing music during the whole time. Sincerely,

While some small volume lipo cases can be done comfortably under straight local (tumescent) anesthesia, I think most patients have a better experience if there is also some intravenous sedation. This is probably the most common way it is done, though some practitioners say it is either tumescent or general. If it is done with appropriate anesthesia in an accredited surgical facility lipo should not be uncomfortable.
