3 weeks ago I had full back, flanks, abs, inner thighs, and submental lipo. My back and trunk is really numb. Why are these areas more numb then others? And how long will it take until this goes away?
Answer: Numbness after liposuction The sensory nerves traveling through the fat to the skin are injured during liposuction. This leads to numbness. As the nerves heal, the numbness should subside but this will take months. You may experience tingling and burning sensations as the nerves heal. All my best.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Sensory loss following liposuction Normal sensation can take 6-12 months to return following a liposuction. I have never seen a permanent sensory loss with liposuction. It is normal for some areas to be more numb than others.

Answer: Numbness after liposuction Everyone has different anatomy, heals differently, and has had a different procedure in how aggressive your surgeon has been. As well, the type of liposuction can affect this. The good news is that it should resolve completely. The question is how long will it take for you? Is impossible to tell given the above variability, though in my experience, numbness after 2 months is quite uncommon. Be aware, it may take longer, the important thing is that you keep in close contact with your plastic surgeon and you should be just fine. Best of luck!

Answer: How long for sensation after liposuction Your trunk and back usually require more aggressive liposuction than the submental or inner thigh areas. The trauma to the nerves along with the swelling results in the numbness. Recovery of sensation may take several months for your back and trunk, but this is not unusual. Good luck.
