Lipo Revision of TT; is it Painful?

Pain from liposuction following a  tummy tuck is minimal in most especially if in the first year where you expect some numbness still to be present in the area. I generally perform revisions like you describe in the office with local anesthesia and oral sedation if needed.

Tummy tucks are usually more painful than most plastic surgery procedures because the muscles are usually sewn together tightly. A revisional using liposuction should have much less discomfort. Most of my patients that have liposuction using the tumescent technique only need Tylenol after surgery, although some will use a stronger oral medication for a day or so, according to their pain tolerance.

Hi there-

Because your surgeon will be (appropriately) tailoring your revision to your individual needs and anatomy, it would not be possible to answer your question.

Please contact your surgeon for the answer.
