Numbness in my Right Arm After Liposuction

July 29, 2010
Asked By:4909anon in FL,Daytona Beach

Three weeks ago I had undergone a lipo on multipple areas such as arms,back, stomach, and around the waist with the following fat graftiong to the buttocks area. Everything went great however since that I feel permanent numbness in my right hand around wrist and ring finger and pinky finger. I have been wearing a gardle(garment) for almost 3 weeks already and the numbness gets worst at night time. I must slip on my stomach for 2-3 months. Can somebody tell me if the numbness will go away?
