Is liposuction painful?

Liposuction is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures in the
US and around the world. The surgery is an effective body contouring treatment that involves
the surgical removal of stubborn fat pockets from localized areas of the body. There are many
people who wonder whether they will experience pain during and after liposuction.

Liposuction is a fairly straightforward procedure than other plastic surgery procedures. The pain
patients might experience during and after the procedure is also relatively negligent; however,
some patients still might experience pain after the procedure. The procedure involves the use of
a hollow tube called a cannula, which is inserted into the target areas through tiny incisions.

While liposuction involves incisions, it is not as invasive as other procedures like the tummy tuck
and breast augmentation. However, some patients may need IV sedation as well. If you want to
remain completely asleep throughout the surgery, general anesthesia may be used. After
administering you the anesthesia, the plastic surgeon will introduce a tumescent solution into
the target area. This will constrict the blood vessels and reduce bleeding during the surgery.
