Possibility of permanent numbness from breast lipo & how long would temporary numbness last?

Asked By:Philosophical73639 in Las Vegas, Nevada

Hello, I would like to have liposuction on my breasts to lose a cup size or so. I do not need a lift—they are just slightly too big for my frame and active lifestyle. I'm wondering about any complications that can arise from breast liposuction, and what the recovery / downtime would be like after the procedure. How likely is it that my breasts will go permanently numb from the procedure (and how long will any temporary numbness last)? How bad is the pain after? Thank you!
