Is it normal to have a strong ongoing itching sensation two years after a tummy tuck?

This is unusual 2 years after your tummy tuck surgery. I strongly recommend seeing your surgeon for an exam.

Sensory alteration is quite common following a tummy tuck. A new onset of itching is not normal. It is possible that this represents the gradual return of sensation, but it's not typical. I would definitely see your surgeon and get their opinion. The appearance of the skin, any new rashes, the pattern of itchy skin could lead to a diagnosis that may not be directly related to your surgery. It is so important to let your doctor be a doctor. We often link symptoms to a recent surgery but that tunnel vision can delay treatment of something else. Best of luck. 

Thank you for your question.This is not a normal sensation to be having two years after surgery. I would recommend seeing your surgeon and they can direct you on getting this sensation to subside.

It is not typical to have severe internal itching two years after your tummy tuck.  It is best to visit with your surgeon for an evaluation so that proper treatment can be determined.

Dear Sandy Losi,
I understand your concern. This is probably caused by nerve damage during surgery. However, without a proper assessment it would be difficult to determine what is wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment. Only after thorough examination you can get proper recommendations and advice.
