How Long Before the Burned Sensation Goes Away After Vaser Lipo on Thighs and Abd?

Question

Jed H. Horowitz, MD, FACS · Answer

I am really interested to know how long it has been since your #vaser liposuction procedure. The tingling or #burning sensations are usually due to the regeneration of nerves in the areas recently addressed in surgery. These sensation should diminish in time as you continue to #heal. At anytime you have concerns about your healing, or pain that you question to be unusual, it is important to call your plastic surgeon to discuss these further asked to be examined.

Thank you for your question. This can take 6 weeks to 6 months. The sensation does go away, but is not very quick. I hope this helps.

The burning sensation is caused by nerve injury. Sometimes there is numbness, sometimes there is burning. That should all subside, but can take weeks or months.

Thank you for your question.

	I assume your talking about paraesthesias: abnormal sensations in treated areas: numbness, prickling, burning or hot/cold sensations. This phenomena is explained by the interruption in the normal nerve impulses as pathways get interrupted by removing a layer of fat.

	It can take from 8weeks to 12months for the restoration of normal innervation.
