Skin Still Burning 5 Months After Liposuction?

As the feeling comes back to the treated area, you may notice some electric tingling sensations and burning which is quite normal and will subside. Most sensory changes go away by 6-8 weeks, if not sooner. 5 months may be a long time, but is not impossible. If you are concerned you should book an appointment with your surgeon.  

   Burning 5 months after liposuction may not be normal, but this is not unexpected.  I think your doctor is being honest, and there is not a surgical option to consider at this point.  If this type of pain is affecting your quality of life, there are medications that can help with neuropathic pain.  Kenneth Hughes, MD liposuction Los Angeles, CA

It is unusual to get this type of long term burning after traditional tumescent liposuction as the nerves are traumatized but preserved. I could see this type of long term issues happening after laser or ultrasonic liposuction. There are neuropathic pains that can develop after any type of surgery in which case you need to consult a pain specialist.
