Is it normal to feel numb this long after tumescent Lipo? It seems to only be when I am not in my garment.
Answer: Numbness after lipo Many of the little nerves exiting the muscle and going to the skin are affected by the movement of the liposuction cannula through the soft tissue. They may also be influenced by any energy being used to help break down and evacuate the fat, such as laser or ultrasound. Know that the nerves heal just like other tissues, but nerve healing can be slow, often taking months to resolve. It is not uncommon for patients to experience little stingers or sharp sensations as the nerves begin to regenerate. Best of luck with your continued recovery.

Answer: Numbness Numbness is present when swelling is present, and you are not even 3 weeks out from surgery so you will still have a fair amount of swelling. It takes about 6 months to completely heal and have all the swelling subside with liposuction. Most have normal sensation by the third month.

Answer: 19 Days Post Tumescent Lipo, Iam Still Feeling Numb. Is This Normal? Thank you for your question.Yes, it is quite normal and it may take several months before you get all your sensation back. This is because of swelling and stretching of small nerves. This will become less as the swelling goes down and the nerves recover. Full recovery can take 6 months or even longer but the sensations will keep improving with time.All The Best !
