There is always swelling after surgery that can cause your nerves to not function properly. As the swelling goes down the nerves begin to "wake up" and you can have some different sensations until things return to normal.

You should follow up with your plastic surgeon as they will be able to help you heal this wound. Another surgeon would likely be able to help you as well, but most have policies (and fees) associated with taking care of patients from other doctors. Best of luck, Dr. Kludt
