Pain and Numbness After Tumescent Liposuction
Everywhere I have read talks about quick painless lipo. I had lipo done at medispa, it took about 2 1/2 hours it was pretty unpleasant not really painful but defiantly unpleasant. Done Tues now Wed. My jawline and neck are very painful and numb like after dentist I have pain on either side of my chin with weakness on my left lower lip. Is all this normal is there a point to be concerned? Can anything speed up recovery especially of weakness.. Thank you so much ( a little freaked out)

Pain and Numbness After Tumescent Liposuction
All your issues are mostly due to the operation and should resolve over time (weeks). This shows us the need for a understandable informed consent and why a doctors office covers these issues much better than a "spa" with a hired doc.

Tumescent Lipo Questions
The first thing I will comment on is that many "places" make claims that I do not feel are accurate. Liposuction is surgery and is invasive. Although some patients have minimal to no pain, my patients are told that there will be pain and discomfort, bruising, swelling, numbness and are told of the risks of surgery.

There is a complication of weakness of a nerve that can be temporary, very rarely permanent, after liposuction on the face. jowls and neck. Soreness is very typical for some patients, regardless of the body site that undergoes liposuction.

Weak lower lip after neck lipo
Sorry to hear about your problem... sometimes, a weak lower lip can be caused by an injury to a specific nerve, called the marginal mandibular branch of the nerve. Usually, it's just bruised by the lipo cannula or affected by localized swelling, and a full recovery will occur, with return of your lip function. It may take a good 6-8 weeks, though. Unfortunately, there's no way to make that happen faster.
