How do patients explain the severity of the pain? Is it like menstral cramps or worse? I just do not want to be in this pain level for months together.

Answer: Pain after liposuction I’m surprised your provider didn’t talk to you about the recovery from liposuction during your consultation.patients describe the recovery from liposuction as feeling similar having over exercised when being out of shape. like if someone asked you to run the bay to breakers except you hadn’t gone running for 12 months. It’s pretty uncomfortable for a couple of days but not bad enough that ibuprofen can’t handle it. You definitely need a few days to heal and do nothing but after that it gets better every day.By three weeks most people can do unlimited physical activity.if your provider is very aggressive then you may be sore for longer.The only time I have seen peoplehave issues with pain is if they were told or believed they wouldn’t feel anything afterwards. I’ve never experienced menstrual cramps but I don’t think they feel the same as recovering from liposuction.Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
