Lipoma surgery: how long does it take for anesthesia to wear off?

There are different types of local anesthetics used for lipoma removal. The numbness from longterm anesthetic should wear off within 24 hours at the most. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian#Realself100 Surgeon

Thank you for sharing your question and congratulations on your lipoma removals. Each patient recovers differently but in most cases it takes a day or two to fully wear off general anesthesia.  Hope this helps.
