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.
