Is it normal to be numb long after liposuction?

Numbness after liposuction is common and typically transient. It can last for up to six months in some cases. This is due to the temporary damage to the sensory nerves during the procedure. As the nerves regenerate, sensation gradually returns to the affected areas. However, in rare cases, permanent numbness may occur. If you are concerned about the numbness, it is important to consult with your doctor.
