Many candidates are concerned about whether liposuction is painful or not, but in fact the pain depends mainly on the type of anesthesia. Pre-operative medications can be used to combat anxiety or pain, but routinely anesthesia can be taken during the liposuction procedure, which is divided into general anesthesia and local anesthesia. If general anesthesia is chosen for the liposuction operation, the patient will not feel pain, but may experience mild pain in the early postoperative period, which will gradually return to normal after 2-3 days. If you choose local anesthesia during liposuction surgery, the pain will be more obvious during the injection of local anesthesia drugs, and some candidates may not be able to tolerate it, but the pain level after surgery is similar to that of general anesthesia, and will gradually return to normal after 2-3 days. Regardless of the type of anesthesia, if the patient cannot tolerate the post-operative pain, certain methods can be used to relieve the pain. Under normal circumstances, after liposuction surgery, the patient should only feel a little bit of local distension and maybe a little bit of other discomfort. However, if you do feel a little pain after surgery, you can use painkillers as appropriate. In general, most of them are not painful, so candidates do not need to worry too much about the pain during liposuction, and the whole process is more comfortable as long as it is handled well and the appropriate anesthesia method is carried out.
