Strange numbness/hypersensitivity following lipo?

October 28, 2017
Asked By:CougrGroomr in Dallas, TX

Hello, I am approximately 4 days post-op, from abdomen, hip and flank PA lipo. I know there is quite a bit of temporary nerve/lymph damage that occurs with this procedure, but I never expected to feel so strange in my own skin! I am numb, yet also hypersensitive. Slight brushing/touching of the skin feels mostly numb, but add a bit more pressure and it’s quite a sharp, painful sensation. So, my question is, when should my skin start to feel like my own, or even just a bit more normal again?
