Answer: Burning 6 months after tummy tuck. This is not unusual while healing for a tummy tuck. Entrapped nerves typically will be a sharp pain. I typically tell my patients to allow a full year to go buy before deciding something may need to be done. Scar maturation and the healing process is not complete until one year post op. At that point, if you still have the pain, your plastic surgeon can inject the area with local anesthetic. If the pain immediately resolves, it is not likely related to nerve pain.
