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.
