Poking/jabbing during liposuction
please explain as to why i feel some poking/jabbing during the tumescent liposuction. is this a common "incident" while the cannula being pulled back & forth or it is the tumescent was not filled up sufficiently? or perhaps the doctor was not skilled at the procedure?

You may feel discomfort but should not feel real pain...
Tumescent liposuction involves a dilute anesthetic solution used to numb up a large area where liposuction will be perform. The process of instilling the solution can be uncomfortable to some people but most people grin and get through it. Everyone has different pain thresholds and some people do better than others. It is like any needle, some people hardly flinch and some people cry in pain. In other words, same needle with a different response. After the area is numbed there is no question that you will feel motion and movement as the liposuction is performed. There is no way to avoid feeling any of these sensations are transmitted (movement) to other areas that are not numb and your body senses this. Very occasionally your surgeon may hit a spot that was not completely numb and you might feel a little poke of discomfort. It should be tolerable for most people. Interestingly there are some people who simply will not tolerate a procedure like this due to fear of pain. Then again, there are some people who cry in pain when stitches are removed. Certainly you describe other reasons possible for discomfort or pain but any experienced liposuction surgeon should be trained in performing a safe, comfortable procedure.
