We tell patients that itching is a good sign of healing and occurs with all liposuction surgery techniques, not just laser liposuction. What it is is really the body's reaction to the breakdown products of heme under the skin as it is trying to get rid of it. Also, the superficial nerves are slightly traumatized from the procedure and over the next 3 months they regenerate. As they regenerate, they can cause all sorts of weird feelings from pins and needles to itching to pain to numb tingling sensations. Unless you are having an allergic reaction to a medication which would also show up as red swollen hives in most cases with the itching, then you are probably just fine. Hope this helps.
Any invasive procedure may cause minor trauma to nerves and their nerve endings. Most of these sensory nerves will recover within six weeks and there are no future concerns. The recovery commonly is marked first by numbness followed by pins and needles or itching. Sometimes it may take several months or more to return to 'normal' sensation. There are some of the newer non-invasive bodysculpting techniques to be considered that will eliminate these issues althogether.
I have not heard of this specific complaint from laser liposuction. Although, like any procedure, unusual conditions could arise. I suppose if it irritated sensory nerves, it could produce unusual sensations. But like I said, I have not heard of this before.
Stick with tumescent liposuction using fine cannulas, which has an amazing record of safety and good results.
Certainly, itching can occur after any surgical procedure. Usually, it is a sign of healing.However, I have been doing laser liposuction for over a year and have not heard this complaint.

It is common to have pain come and go after an operation of any kind. Sitting for extended periods might be a contributing factor but it is not unusual in any situation. You will be healing for many months after your procedure. The pain does not mean anything is wrong, just a by product of the...
