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
