Is liposuction painful?
Disease description:
I’ve gained quite a bit of weight over the past two years, especially noticeable fat accumulation around my abdomen. I’ve been trying to lose weight, but haven’t seen any results. Now I’m considering liposuction at a hospital. Could you please tell me—how painful is liposuction?

Hello, liposuction is performed under local or general anesthesia. During the procedure, you will not experience pain—only a mild numbness. After surgery, some discomfort may occur at the incision sites and areas where fat was removed; however, this gradually subsides as healing progresses. Following suture removal, wearing compression garments for 1–3 months, along with proper postoperative care, helps achieve optimal results. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
