Hello, during liposuction, anesthesia is administered to the patient, ensuring minimal to no noticeable pain during the procedure. After the anesthetic wears off, patients may experience mild discomfort, but it remains well within a tolerable range. Liposuction should be performed only at reputable hospitals or certified cosmetic surgery centers. Postoperatively, proper local wound care is essential. I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
