Is numbness and warm skin to be expected one week out from Smart lipo in the chin and neck?

hello jaynetorvil Scattered numbness in the suctioned areas occurs occasionally and will disappear within a few weeks. #post-op #recovery

Hi and thanks for your question.
It is normal to have swelling and numbness after having smart lipo. You will also be sensitive when touching the area. Keep on eye on the warmth. If it gets red and hot, or you develop a fever , contact your surgeon.Best of luck!

Inflammation accompanied by numbness and/or discomfort are common events following Liposuction. However, you should seek care immediately should you develop pain with redness +\- fever which are symptomatic of cellulitis. Hopefully you have been scheduled for a one week follow up visit with your surgeon. If your surgeon has shared a cellphone number with you, it is not unreasonable to voice your concerns directly with him/her. Hope this finds you well.
