How painful is liposuction? - Liposuction - Forums & Discussion 

Liposuction is usually not extremely painful. There is a lot of soreness that can limit your activity. Severe pain with liposuction and fat transfer is not the norm. Seek the opinion of several board certified plastic surgeons and their experiences with the procedure. Good luck. Dr. Farella.
The amount or degree of pain experienced with the procedure will vary from person to person. Most patients, however, find it to be more of a discomfort than pain. Your doctor can prescribe pain medication to help alleviate any discomfort that you experience. Further, the newer techniques, such as UAL and the tumescent technique, tend to have the added benefits of decreased pain.

pain tolerance is different for person to person, however a good pain control can be achieve making the experience not unpleasant.

This depends on the surgeon and equipment. We use the bodyjet system that uses water and has been promoted as lunch time lipo. The reason is that the procedure is far less invasive than older machines and leaves very little bruising and bleeding allowing you to go home within hours of surgery. The amount of work undertaken will also always play a role in the amount of pain. Pain killers will always be administered so you should feel more discomfort rather than pain.

There can be tenderness after liposuction for few days & it is not usually extremely painful.However if your threshold is low,your surgeon can give you good pain killers to keep you comfortable in the post operative period.

In the 21 th century used analgesics that reduce pain. It is individual and pain threshold is different for patients.

We follow few methods to reduce pain after liposuction.
1. Infiltrate Tumuscent adequtely and wait ten to fifteen minutes before startining the procedure.
2. adequate dosage of intra operative pain killer
3. Small dose of steroid at induction
Cut down inhalational agent and exubate after completely finishing the procedure. even sticking the plaster will provoke pain stimuli.

if you follow these steps ,your patients never get pain...

Dear,

It is not painful, but if performed under local, there is a sting, during infiltration of anesthesia. The pain is mostly controlled with oral pain killers like Dicloran, after the procedure.

With Best Wishes

Normally pain is not a problem after liposuction but in your case you should choose general anesthesia.Also some pain medication will be prescribed

Pain is not generally a problem after LP.

Liposuction is not painfull in such way that you can not afford it. with minor pain killers you will be able to do all your activeties and feel comfortable.

Hi!I just had a liposuction of tummy, flanks and back, 2 weeks ago, apparently everything went very well, by now I can see good results. Although I know final results are taking longer. I am kind of worried about the pain I am feeling on my left side. At the begining the pain was like a knife going deep inside me, or something burning inside. But just in some moments principally when i was making an effort or something. Now the pain is always there. I can handle it but is annoying to feel it all day. Do you think is normal?,what can i do to stop feeling that pain? Could be serious?

Almost painless. Few hypersensitive patients tell about pain but they did't resist the procedure or pospond procedure.

I've looked through some reviews (http://www.pissedconsumer.com/consumer-reviews/plastic-surgery.html ), and many patients complain about strong pains. I'm afraid of these pains.. What does recovery period depend on?

I also had a liposuction surgery but i did not feel pain. I think its depends on surgeon expertise, how he handle you.

The pain in liposuction varies from technique to technique .For Instance if you opt for a vaser lipo the pain levels would be low and if you opt for a tumescent lipo then you might experience some amount of pain but still this pain can be minimized by administering the required pain killers and antibiotics for a quicker recovery. The pain levels can also vary from patient to patient as individual patient would have individual recovery time.

The pain can also be minimal if you opt for a proficient cosmetic surgeon still.

Pain after liposuction depends upon the tolerance of the person . Most of our patient comfortable after surgery but few of them complain about pain. It can be managed by analgesics. amount of pain is also determined by how extensive liposuction has been done.

Following my procedure that I had in June, I was in very little pain I opted for no pain meds or anti-anxiety medication. I did take blood pressure medication because it was elevated usually its normal but I was anxious. My pain threshold is pretty high he went in there with the local anesthetic and spread the fluids through out the areas that were treated.I got my abdomen love handles,hips,lower back treated it was a piece of cake for me! Now… my gf got some work done as well and she went through a-lot of discomfort to top it off she took the anxiety medication and pain med before her procedure! So honestly it varies from person to person on the pain level. Its a mind game. Best wishes to all thinking of having this procedure done. Its definetly life changing. I lost 17.6 inches in my waist line ! I couldn't of gone wrong with the specialist I chose for my procedure Staff at myshapelipo are very kind!

It is indeed a very painful procedure. Your surgeon should have brief you with all the procedures and pain you are going to experience since it is his responsibility and also you should prepare yourself. Like they always say "No pain, no gain".

if you need weight lose, you can go to salon or clinic for weight lose by cavitation or lipo laser machine. this way no pain and effect is good. Aslo if you feel the cost is high, you can buy machine and treatment by yourself. www.comfortequipment.com
this company machine is good, you can check it

Liposuction is hardly ever painful. Pain is about few pinprick sensation.
