Sweating after liposuction normal? I had lipo done 2 months ago on the back and front.

Question

I normally don't sweat much,but I recently started sweating a lot in the belly area and middle part of my back. Is that a normal thing after liposuction? I'm assuming it got something to do with the nerves but should I worry about it?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

While this isn't a typical side effect, it may be a result of nerve irritation. If it persists, I recommend following up with your surgeon. For liposuction after care, I recommend adding hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic massage along with your compression to help decrease swelling. To improve your final results, I also recommend adding vanquish for further fat removal, exilis/venus legacy for skin tightening, cellutone/z wave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin’s appearance. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

lorinas.  Sorry to hear of this issue, but I am unaware of any sort of sweating condition caused by liposuction. If the condition persists and is a problem, Botox may be an option for treatment. Follow up with your plastic surgeon. Good luck.

Robert H. Hunsaker, MD · Answer

I have not heard of this being related to the procedure and it certainly does not seem to be anything to worry about.
