I'm getting liposuction in the beginning of July and I had met someone recently who had liposuction and was two month in and he looked great but he said he had pins and needles on his left side since and I felt his around the area and some areas felt stiff and he said it was scar tissue. Can I expect this too? Also he said he needed to take two weeks off and was very swollen but I plan to recover just over the weekend. What can I expect?
Answer: Recovery after Liposuction & After care includes RF treatments (Venus Legacy, Exilis Ultra) Cellutone/zwave, hyperbaric oxygen Recovery and healing is variable to the individual, but you may have swelling, and/or tenderness, which can last 3-6 months after your procedure. I recommend adding hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic massage along with your compression to help decrease swelling. To improve your final results, I also recommend adding vanquish for further fat removal, exilis/venus legacy for skin tightening, cellutone/z wave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin’s appearance.

Answer: How much discomfort and stiffness can I expect after liposuction? Liposuction removes the fat that gets succed inside the tip of the cannula by avulsion of the small piece of fat as the cannula moves. There are nerve ending and blood vessels under the skin as well. Therefore if this process is repeated in the same area for a long time, the nerve endings get traumatized and will take some time to recover. This is why, one gets numbness and later on, pins and needles as the sensation starts to recover. It all depends on how agressive the procedure is and how much is removed from a particular area. Gentle liposucti on using a smaller cannula will reduce these recovery issues. An in person visit with a bord certified plastic surgeon should help answer these questions before proceeding with any surgery. You also want to know if there are chances of getting contour irregularities.

Answer: Liposuction Thanks so much for reaching out. The time you've decided to take off might be too short, depending on what areas and how much liposuction you need. You were deafly have a period of time when you have some numbness and maybe tingling as well. That usually all results within a few months.

Answer: Liposuction recovery Recovery from liposuction is going to depend on how much fat is removed, from where and how your body heals. Having said that, your friend's experience is pretty typical. You can expect a week to two of discomfort and it will take anywhere from 3-6 months for the swelling to fully subside. A weekend to heal doesn't sound like enough to me unless your job is very sedentary...
