Is liposuction any easier the second time around?

January 11, 2014
Asked By:jlr2012 in Oklahoma

I had liposuction in conjunction with an abdominoplasty in February of last year. I am scheduled to have the same area (flank/hips) redone on the 22nd of January. My question is, could the recovery period be any less intense for a revision? The first round of lipo was pretty painful, and I was wondering if maybe, there is a chance that patients report less sensitivity when having the same area done a second time.
