Is Tingling Normal after You Have Liposuction?

October 21, 2020 by Koehler Editor

After any surgery, there will be soreness, stiffness, numbness and other sensations, not all of which you will be expecting. This leaves many wondering what is normal and what is not.

So, what about tingling after liposuction? Is this a normal sensation to experience after surgery?

Typical Post-Liposuction Sensations

In the days following surgery, the sensations you experience might seem a little strange. However, they are likely perfectly normal.

Perhaps the most common and most expected sensation to experience is discomfort. However, this is usually controlled by pain medication. Discomfort tends to ease within 48 hours of surgery.

Numbness is another common sensation experienced in the area of treatment This happens because liposuction techniques disrupt the small nerve fibers that run through your fat layers to reach the skin.

In nearly all cases, this numbness is temporary. However, as these nerve fibers begin to heal, this numbness is replaced with tingling, which is why some people note tingling after liposuction, even months later. However, it is rarely concerning.

Bruising and swelling are also common after liposuction, and they bring with them their own sensations of soreness and stiffness. This tends to peak within 48 hours of the procedure and resolves in about 2 weeks.

Reach Out if You Are Concerned

There are many sensations that come with liposuction, and even when they are expected, it is easy to worry about them. If you feel that something isn’t quite right or you just want to confirm that all is well, do not hesitate to reach out to your surgeon. They are happy to put your mind at ease.

To learn more about what you can expect from liposuction, schedule a consultation with Dr. Koehler. Call us at 251-929-7850 or head over to our contact page.
