I had smart lipo on upper and lower abs 6 weeks ago the skin is still slightly numb but super sensitive to clothing moving across it. How long does it normally take for this to away?
Answer: Numbness is expected after Smartlipo, hypersensitivity is less common
I have done thousands of Smartlipo treatments and almost everyone describes some numbness in the skin. This goes away as the area heals and the swelling decreases. It is usually gone in three months and isn't too bothersome if people know to expect it. Hypersensitivity is less common and happens only about 20% of the time. Very rarely, an area can be so hypersensitive that a person is in significant pain and can't do normal activities. If that is the case, there are medicines, both pills and creams that can help return the area to normal much more effectively than moisturizers. Your plastic surgeon can help with this.
