Answer: Some Discomfort 2 Weeks After Lipo Normal Thank you for your question. Unfortunately pain after liposuction can extend beyond two weeks depending on the extent of the liposuction. One week recovery is not typical. The numbness you are experiencing is normal and should subside in about 12 weeks. Compression therapy helps with your comfort. It is normal to still require pain medications. Best wishes on your recovery.

Answer: A little time will help
It is very unusual to be fully recovered from liposuction only 1 week after surgery, and some pain at 2 weeks can be normal. Numbness is unquestionably normal and may persist for some time still. If your pain does not subside I would recommend followup with your surgeon, but I recommend holding off from strenuous activity for 3 weeks after liposuction.
