Is numbness in the breast common after a breast lift with underarm liposuction?

It is very numb to still be numb 8 weeks after a breast lift with liposuction under the arms.  I usually tell patients that the sensation can take 6 months to return.  Best of luck!

What you are experiencing is very common. Your breasts have had a bit of trauma lately and it will take a while for everything to heal. Stay patient. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Interference with sensory nerves resulting in numbness and potentially pain is not uncommon after breast reductions. Liposuction by itself is less likely to produce these issues. These conditions can be permanent, but may improve significantly up to a year. Best wishes.

Yes, it is fairly common to have numbness after liposuction, This often gets better as the swelling subsides. Best of luck.

It is not unusual to have some numbness in the areas that you have described following a breast lift and underarm liposuction.  In most cases, much of this numbness will resolve, however it may take 6 to 12 months for all for the numbness to resolve.  Gentle massage may help speed this process.  Best wishes, Dr. Lepore.
