Question about liposuction. Is it as painful as going through labor for the first time?

shilrey.walker111
They say that going through labor when a women is nine months pregnant and ready to deliver is one of the most painful experiences a woman could go through? Especially, if a woman needs to get a c section to get the baby out? Is liposuction just as painful as a woman going through labor for the first or fifth time? Also, when you are under local anesthesia you do not feel the pain or discomfort, but when the local anesthesia wears off you the patient would feel the pain from the liposuction?
