Answer: 8 days post op lipo It is normal to feel soreness/pain after liposuction. The garment actually helps patients feel better because it helps with the swelling. The garment should be snug but obviously, if you feel you can't move or have trouble breathing while wearing it, it is too tight. Best to call your operating surgeon's office again so you can be reassured and get your questions fully answered. Good luck!!

Answer: Liposuction Are you able to email your doctor in Florida? You may want to check in with them tomorrow about your garment. I do see indentations under your breasts and your mid and lower back; it does seem to be too small. It is completely normal to have numbness. Numbness after any surgical procedure is expected for several weeks to several months. The nerves to the areas of liposuction have been traumatized; they are not currently firing. This will resolve over the next several weeks and months, sometimes it may take even longer even up to 2 years. As the nerves regenerate, you will begin to experience burning, itching, electric shocks, tingling etc. Massaging these areas helps to desensitize the nerves and usually normal sensation returns. I attached a link with more information. Hope this helps.
