Arms and hands go numb while sleeping on my stomach after breast augmentation - what can be causing this?

Hello, thank you for your question. That is unusual, speak to you plastic surgeon about your symptoms. They will be best to answer this question. I would not be able to give you advice on alleviation with a full exam.

Dear Charming89718,
it is unlikely that your BA surgery causes arms and hands numbness. However, without a proper assessment, it would be difficult to determine if is there something wrong. It is best that you visit your plastic surgeon for further assessment or ask for a second opinion. Only after a thorough examination, you can get proper recommendations and advice.

I recommend beginning with a visit to your surgeon for an evaluation. You may be placing stress on nerves or have stretched nerves as a result of your surgery. Your surgeon will advise on next steps.

I'm 6 months post op, was a 34b now a 34G,with 550cc silicone HP under the muscle implants placed. I've only ever been able to sleep on my stomach for most of my life. Ever since getting the ok to again,post op,I find that my arms,wrists and hands tend to hurt and then go numb. Is this because my implants are so large? Am I causing circulation problems that can harm me? Advice on how to alleviate this?

Best of luck !

You chose very large implants which now put additional pressure on your nerves when you sleep on your stomach. Trying sleeping on a pillow or train yourself to sleep on your side.
