How long until normal sensation returns following Lipo?

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.

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.

this takes weeks to months to go away and will improve over time alone but in our practice we give medication and do venus legacy radiofrequency treatments to improve this more quickly.  Best, Dr. Emer.

It may take several weeks to months for all of the numbness to go away as the nerves need to regenerate or recover after your surgery.

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!

     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.
