Is There Disruption To Sensation Following Liposuction?
Added on 16th August 2019
With every surgery there is disruption to sensation in some way, however with liposuction this disruption tends to be minimal. This can depend slightly on the type of liposuction you have but with blunt-ended cannulas often any trauma to the nerves is neuropraxic trauma and this will recover.
Recovery Time For Sensory Loss
It is not often that patients have permanent nerve and sensory loss, and any nerves that are damaged can take 12 to 18 months to fully recover. For a greater understanding of what to expect from liposuction and possible sensory changes, get in touch with the UK Aesthetics team today.
Sensations You May After Liposuction
Here are some additional sensations that you may experience following liposuction:
- Discomfort
- Numbness
- Swelling
- Bruising

These sensations should be temporary and return to normal after 7 weeks, but be sure to consult your UK Aesthetic surgeon to ensure this is not a serious problem.
