Numbness after Tummy Tuck - how it is typically managed if it develops?

Thrifty96679
I'm considering having a Tummy Tuck to repair my diastatis recti. I'm mostly concerned about issues related to nerve pain and numbness following the procedure. From your experience how many patients end up with chronic nerve pain / hypersensitivity that negatively impacts their quality of life? How is it typically managed if it develops?
