Is it normal to experience hand numbness on both hands after a breast lift with implants?

Thanks so much for reaching out. Can happen from compressing on a nerve during surgery from the positioning that you were in.  This should progressively get better on its own.  Definitely contact your surgeon and go over your complaints so they can come up with a plan.I hope this helps :)

Hi yasoliveira,

I am sorry to hear about what you are experiencing. It is difficult to ascertain what this is and its causes. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon to have yourself properly assessed. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Thank you for sharing your question and I am sorry to hear of your hand numbness.  This would not be a common complaint following a breast lift and augmentation and I would advise discussing your symptoms with your surgeon.  At times patient positioning during the procedure may place tension on some of the nerves in your neck and arms, and needs to be ruled out.  Hope this helps.
