Is numbness in the breast common after a breast lift with underarm liposuction?

November 9, 2015
Asked By:ready4change2 in Rockford, MI

I had a breast lift/reduction with liposuction of my sides just under my arms 8 weeks ago. I have no feeling on the outside third of both breasts and pain still under my arms. Is this common with the underarm lipo and if so how long can I expect it might take for the feeling to return to this part of my breasts. The rest of the breast has normal feeling with no pain including the nipples.
