Tummy tuck 2.5 years ago. Always had some lower abd numbness. Now has spread to entire abdomen accompanied with nausea and intermittent twisting pain in LLQ Hx of C-section and hernia repair. Is the numbness spreading normal? Related to tummy tuck or most likely separate issue?

Answer: Numbness Since it has been 2.5 years from surgery and you are now well past the healing stage, this new numbness and pain is something else. Please see your medical doctor. You may need a CAT scan.

Answer: Numbness after tummy tuck A full tummy tuck typically leaves loss of sensation of the lower, medial abdomen. Sensation typically slowly returns to some of this area of the next couple of years. It’s not normal to lose sensation over time. follow up with your plastic surgeon or primary care physician. Repeated nausea and abdominal pain should be evaluated. Best, Mats Hagstrom MD
