I had a tummy tuck two years ago and recently I’ve had uncontrollable itch but It’s enteral itch. I can’t feel me scratching because since my surgery I’ve lost sensation. I just feel like I have ants in my stomach and can’t stop!

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

Answer: Itching sensation 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.
