I'm 15 days post-op from a brachioplasty. I'm experiencing "deep" numbness in the lower part of my left forearm; from the elbow to a few inches short of the wrist. My incisions go from my armpit to my elbow. No incisions on the forearm. I had the procedure to excise skin after massive weight loss. I'm concerned that the numbness will not go away. Am I worrying too soon? Is there anything I can do? Are there Neurologists who can treat sensory nerve "damage?"
