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

I suggest you get an assessment and some type of working diagnosis. Do you want to have a better understanding of your current symptoms including if Liposuction could make things worse. What you described is fairly a typical. Patient often had changes in skin sensation after liposuction. Patient often experience partial numbness “ghost itching”. Normal sensations typically return within 2 to 3 months.
I suggest you ask each provider during consultations. Delivering consistent quality liposuction results is more difficult than most people realize. The number of plastic surgeons who truly mastered this procedure are in a small minority. The type of equipment isn’t particularly important in comparison to the scale and experience of the provider. I suggest patients have multiple inperson consultations. During each consultation, ask each provider to open up their portfolio and show you their entire collection of before, and after pictures of previous patient with similar body characteristics to your own. And experienced plastic surgeon that should have no difficulty showing you the before and after pictures of at least 50 previous patience. Being shown a handful of preselected images, representing the best results. Other providers career is insufficient to get a clear understanding of what average results look like in the hands of each provider or how many of these procedures they’ve actually performed.
The ability to deliver consistent quality results with the ability of making accurate assessments and having predictable outcomes, consistent with quality before, and after pictures requires years of dedication. Liposuction skills very dramatically from provider to provider. Being board-certified and plastic surgery with years of experience and overall good reputation does not mean somebody has a mastered any one single procedure especially procedures like Liposuction. Patient should be more selective and they think necessary when it comes to choosing providers for permanent your reversible body contouring procedures that can potentially lead people disfigured.
