How high are the risks associated with liposuction on an area impacted by nerve irritation?

Asked By:Jenna Peevor

I had coolsculpting to outer thighs in April 2022 and struggled with severe nerve pain for 8 weeks after. Since then, there are fluctuations with nerve irritation causing discomfort and itchiness, but never enough to require medication. The coolsculpting did nothing, so I am exploring liposuction on the same area. All of the surgeons I have spoke to have recommended VASER lipo. (Im BMI 20 with bulges of fat on thighs) How high is the risk of exacerbating the existing nerve issues?
