I have saddle bags but they aren't huge. Thanks
Answer: Pain after liposuction is generally not related to the amount of fat. Liposuction over areas where the bonus prominent such as the ribs generally is slightly more painful than liposuction performed over fleshy areas such as the hips. In any event pain after liposuction generally is quite modest.

Answer: Pain During Liposuction Back and legs/thighs are more painful than abdomen, flanks, arms, or neck. However, with a very wet tumescent technique, the majority of patients feel almost no pain (some discomfort) after 2-3 days and are back to work with compression and no pain meds after that time. The techniques we use are less invasive than those in the past and the recovery period is much easier than it used to be. I wish you the best of luck, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Is the pain level of Liposuction based on the amount of fat taken off your specific areas? That is probably a fair statement.Find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of liposuction procedures each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Pain after lipo Pain after liposuction is an interesting thing. It does not likely have much to do with how much is taken off. Instead it is typically related to where the liposuction occurs and how thoroughly it is done. A thorough liposuction is likely to cause some fairly significant discomfort, especially in the first few days. Although it gets quickly better, some nagging sensitivity can stick around for weeks or months.Best,Dr. Pyle

Answer: Liposuction and Postoperative Comfort Thanks for your question. It often depends on the area being treated. Often the lower back and thighs are areas that are painful in the early postoperative period. I find that using appropriate compression foam and good technique minimize pain. Find a board certified plastic surgeon in your area with good experience in liposuction for a thorough consultation.
