5 weeks post op Liposuction, is there anyway to speed up the process of getting rid of the numbness around my waist and stomach?

The numbness that is associated with liposuction generally resolves with time after 6 months to one year.

When you have liposuction you will have a nerve injury after the procedure this occurs from the trauma during this liposuction and the swelling that takes place after.  After injury winners will stop working for short period of time and then as they heal they will work too much and you'll be hypersensitive.Just like with any nerve injury if you went to rehab or hand therapy they would do therapy to help the nerves recover as fast as possible. What you can do is use a cloth with texture like a terry cloth and lightly touch these areas in order to retrain the nerves on how to respond to soft touch. Most the time it's the back and waist that take the longest to recover.
