I continue to have extreme nerve sensitivity and irritation more than 5 weeks after surgery. Also have burning pain along incisions. My surgeon says it will go away but I expected more improvement by now (and this issue developed a couple days after surgery). At what point do I seek other answers? Needing constant compression to have any relief, frustrating since I didn’t get this surgery to have my arms constantly covered.

Answer: Arm Lift Nerve Irritation Hi Sheen1975, I'm sorry to hear that you are having some nerve irritation after surgery. You are still relatively early in the healing process and it should get better over the course of several months. Once everything has healed well enough to tolerating massaging, that may help speed up the healing process by breaking up underlying scar tissue that may also be irritating the nerves. Blessings on your journey!

Answer: Discomfort after arm lift surgery Hello! Thank you for your question. It has only been 5 weeks since your surgery. Your body is still healing. Healing can be associated with lots of strange sensations. Discomfort/Pain as you have described is not uncommon. Most symptoms improve with time. (Exactly how long varies with each patient.) However, if they don't improve or you continue to be concerned, you should speak to or schedule and appointment with your plastic surgeon. I hope this answers your question. Best of luck! Matthew A. DelMauro, M.D.
