There can be itching during the healing phase after your procedure, which can last 3-6 months. To improve healing, I recommend adding hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic massage along with your compression to help decrease swelling. To improve your final results, I also recommend adding vanquish for further fat removal, exilis/venus legacy for skin tightening, cellutone/z wave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin’s appearance.

This is absolutely normal. Especially during the healing period the fist month or so. As the collagen stars reforming and restructuring itself during the 2nd and 3rd months this sensation will gradually subside. Often recommended to use over the counter benadryl cream as its reported to be effective. Numbness in the treated areas can continue up to a year as it takes long for the nerves to heal i.e 1mm a day growth.
Following liposuction, the nerves can sometimes be irritated by the action of liposuction itself. While they are healing, the sensations that are transmitted to the brain can be interpreted as numbness, itchiness or several other sensations. This is normal.Nerve tissue is generally very slow to heal and the process of recovery takes longer than for other types of tissue, such as skin. We have seen clients report itching for a few weeks, although 3 months seems a bit long. I would consult with your surgeon to see if anything else might be going on.Hope that helps.
