I'm two weeks post op and the numbness in my thighs is subsiding, but an itching sensation has risen in its place, and it really bothers me. Is this normal, and if so, how can I help relieve it?

Answer: Itching is a common accompaniment during the healing of liposuction. As nerves returned to function itching can be a annoying side effect. Applying I circle compresses over the area is best for immediate treatment. Antihistamines may give some relief.

Answer: Itching after Liposuction Itching following liposuction is completely normal. The nerve endings have been slightly traumatized and the itching is actually a sign of healing. This sensation is normal and common and should dissipate in the coming days to weeks. Benadryl tablets may be able to give you some relief.
