Can liposuction cause permanent numbness?

December 4, 2020
Asked By:KSS8519 in Portland, OR

I'm considering getting liposuction and breast fat transfer, but my concern is that I will suffer from large areas of numbness on my abdomen and thighs from the lipo. I previously had breast implants in 2013 (removed in 2017) and my nipple and entire lower portion of the breast is permanently numb on both sides ever since the initial procedure. The area around my c-section scar is also numb, so I'm afraid my body has a tendency to get nerve damage easily.
