Sensitive skin after Smart Lipo

It is not uncommon to have sensitive skin after any form of liposuction. It can sometimes last for months, but yours seems to be more sensitive than the average. Make sure to see your surgeon to be sure it is within normal for the scope of work done. If it is, you can try a lotion containing lidocaine or menthol available over-the-counter. It will get better with time.
