Can laser Liposuction cause permanent muscle and/or nerve damage?

smiley8Apr 30, 2016
I had laser lipo suction at sono bello four weeks ago I am still experiencing numbness pain and itching and hard lumps and bumps. I have very sensitive skin, and I am wondering if this is part of the healing process or if I may be having a reaction to the numbing solution that was used. The surgeon does not know why the itching he told me to use antihistamines such as Benadryl tablets and ornament neither of which has helped at all. Is this all part of the healing process. Please help me.

You will need to discuss this with your cardiologist.  But laser lipo in general would be fine with a pacemaker.

Patients can be put to sleep for SmartLipo but usually laser liposuction is performed under local anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. Sedatives such as Valium or Versed are used to prevent panicking.Best wishes.

Cost varies, its better to pay more and see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon by the American Board of Plastic Surgery.  Average cost under local anesthesia would be around $3500.00.Best Regards,Dr Gartner
