At my 2 week post-op appointment my doctor said I might get sesations of hot or cold as the bruised nerves heal. He claified what he meant by saying that it may feel as though I had a hot or cold pack against my skin. I did a lot of research and this is one thing I never ran across. Interested in comments on this topic for myself and others.
Answer: Post liposuction sensations
Tingling, numbness, hypersensitivity, tenderness, are common sensation irregularities post liposuction. Hot and cold sensation differences are not something that I have described to paitents during their consultations when discussing liposuction, nor what they describe to me post liposuction during the last 18 years of doing liposuction. Your surgeon may be trying to verbalize the pins and needles sensation that can be felt, or he or she might have had a paitent describe it to him or her this way.

Answer: Sensations After Liposuction I think all Plastic Surgeons have a little different wording to describe the feelings a patient will have after surgery. It is typically described as a tingling sensation. Most people will also feel numbness around the incision sites. It is important to wear your garment after surgery to help reduce any pain or swelling.

Answer: Hot and Cold Sensations After Lipo? Experiencing hot and cold sensations after liposuction (lipo) can be a common occurrence and is usually part of the normal healing process. Here are some reasons why you might experience these sensations:1. Nerve Sensitivity: During liposuction, nerves in the treated area can be temporarily affected, leading to altered sensations such as tingling, numbness, hot or cold sensations. As nerves regenerate and heal, these sensations typically diminish over time.2. Inflammation and Healing: After liposuction, the body undergoes a natural inflammatory response as it heals. This inflammation can sometimes manifest as sensations of heat or warmth in the treated area. Conversely, as the body works to repair itself, you may also experience occasional sensations of cold.3. Changes in Blood Flow: Liposuction can temporarily disrupt blood flow to the treated area, leading to changes in temperature sensation. As circulation improves during the healing process, these sensations often resolve.4. Compression Garments: Wearing compression garments after liposuction can sometimes cause sensations of warmth due to increased blood flow and pressure, while removal of the garment may cause a temporary sensation of cold as the skin is exposed to air.While mild hot and cold sensations are generally normal after liposuction, it's essential to monitor for any signs of infection, excessive swelling, or persistent pain. If you have concerns or if these sensations are severe or prolonged, it's crucial to contact your healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.
