Numb after liposuction

Immediate numbness is quite normal and can take days to diminish, sometimes it is spotty and numb for weeks to months, especially if surgery is done in the same site on multiple occasions.

Swelling after laser lipo

Just remember every time you have surgery in the same area you often will experience more swelling and prolonged recovery to some degree. Numbness is common with any surgery including liposuction
