I Read About the Nerve Damage That Could Happen After Lipo, Could It Be That Severe? Is It Reversible? How Long Does It Last?

RoundIsaShapeSep 10, 2013
I'm a 29 yo F. Smart lipo done on my back early June. My back was blue and it was sore until end of July. When I finally got sensation back I started having electric shock feeling all over my back at the first signs of breaking a sweat. Those episodes would last up to about 20 minutes. Benedryll, aloe vera, witch hazel, aveeno anti itch, cortisteroid creams, never helped. The only thing that helps is taking an ice cold shower. I self medicated with Neurotine and it calms me down within 4 minutes

3 weeks isn't nearly enough time to see a final result. Your swelling can take as long as 3 to 6 months to finally resolve. Check with your surgeon and get their opinion on what you can expect.

Smartlipo for the arms is a great procedure if you have stubborn fat deposits in the area. This will help to contour the arms and tighten the skin as well. Consult with your surgeon and find out if this will contour your body the way you want.
