Is it common to have full sensation and then go completely numb two weeks after Tummy Tuck?

aloneinla
I am almost 4 weeks post-op from a tummy tuck and medial thigh lift. I am aware that numbness after a tummy tuck is common. My concern is that for the first 2 weeks after surgery I had no numbness, these symptoms started approx. 2 weeks ago. I am completely numb from my belly button down including my mons pubis area. I last saw my PS 2 weeks ago. He assured me this is normal. I have a f/u visit later this week.
