Had Submental Smartlipo This Morning, Now Voice is Low and Raspy?

You did not state the type of anesthesia you received for the liposuction. If it was a general anesthetic the hoarseness might be the result of irritation from the endotracheal tube.

   If you were intubated during the procedure, this may be the result of the tube irritiation.  If you were not intubated, this is unusual.  Either way a call to your doctor's office is in order.  Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

This warrants an immediate call to your surgeon and if you can reach them, call your personal physician.  If you had general anesthesia, the voice may be irritated by the intubation and this generally passes.   This could also bear on your ease of swallowing.  However, if you have a sense of panic, then immediate medical care is warranted.  This could simply be reassurance by your surgeon or assessment at an emergency room if you feel this is warranted.  Reach your surgeon and decide your course of action.

What type of anesthesia did you have for your procedure?  Where you completely put out or were you just sedated but awake?  If you did have a general anesthesia for some reason, then it is possible that your issues are related to that, but they should be fairly temporary.  If you haven't already, I would contact your surgeon to let them know of your problems.

This sounds like typical throat soreness from the anesthesia used for your surgery, either an endotracheal tube or a laryngeal mask. This has nothing to do with with the liposuction which was performed in front of the voicebox area.

To be safe, contact your surgeon to discuss with them.  This likely represents a  temporary side effect of have been "intubated" during general anesthesia.
