Hello. Great question. I am sorry for your post op difficulties. Images and/or a personal examination are needed to properly address your concerns. Keep following your surgeon's post op instructions.

Hello. Great question. I am sorry for your post op difficulties. A personal examination is needed to determine if  there is no fluid collection present. Please schedule a follow up appointment with your surgeon.

Oral sedation can be used for awake liposuction, but those who have low tolerance to pain do better with IV sedation or general sedation. Usually once you are numbed, the procedure goes well. I would suggest rescheduling your procedure under general anesthesia.
