In excruciating pain after Smart Lipo. Should I go to the ER?

Discomfort after lipo is typically experienced as muscle soreness and swelling discomfort. Severe pain after liposuction is a sign of something gone wrong and should be assessed immediately. Go to the ER and notify your surgeon on your way there.

Some discomfort a few hours after SmartLipo is to be expected once the local anesthetic wears off but the excruciating pain you are describing is not normal. You should be evaluated by the surgeon immediately; if this is not possible, you must be evaluated in the ER. 

Thank you for your question.I would recommend calling your plastic surgeon and let them know what's going on. If the pain is intense, definitely go to ER. I hope this helps!

This is not normal post smartlipo and you should contact your surgeon immediatly. anyone who has a body contouring practice should be on call 24/7 and have his/her cell phone avlb to you for contact.  Best, Dr. Emer.

You should contact your surgeon immediately and notify then of your situation. If your surgeon can't be reached, then, yes, you should go the the closest ER. You should have a responsible adult drive you or call 911 for help. Best wishes.
