Is it normal to be having these strange itchy sensations after liposuction?

These kind of sensations are very normal after liposuction.  When your surgery was done, this caused some disruption of the small nerve fibers in the skin.  The recovering nerve fibers are transmitting abnormal sensations such as itching.  Over time this will get better and the area should feel normal.  Thanks for your questions.

Thank you for your question.  At 10 days post-op you are still quite early in the recovery process.  Strange sensations - numbness, itching, tingling, electrical sensations - are commonplace in the areas that have undergone liposuction, especially in the early phase after surgery.  I'd recommend patience.  These sensations almost always resolve, though the process may sometimes take months.

Thank you for your question.  Following a liposuction procedure it is not uncommon for patients to experience numbness, tingling, itching and/or discomfort in the areas treated.  This can be caused by swelling and disruption of the nerve fibers that transmit sensory information.  You are still very early on in the healing process but you should find that these sensations improve with some time.  I would recommend following up with your operating surgeon for a physical exam and to discuss your experience and any concerns that you might have.  Best of luck on your recovery!

The sensation you report is common, and normal. The nerves going to the skin are traumatized, but usually recover within 3 months.

Numbness and tingling after liposuction is to be anticipated and is a part of the healing process following liposuction. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
