I had my MM (TT and BA) on 23 April. No problems or issues, and my doctor cleared me for exercise a while back. I have recently started running again and have noticed this weird numb/tingling getting in my abdomen after going a short distance (ie: 10 yards). Is that normal during recovery? I worked out and ran just over a mile regularly before my surgery. I can do crunches or planks without issues, it's just with running. Thank you!

Answer: Mommy Makeover Hi,Congratulations on resuming running again! A recent study in our journal showed how the nerves were greatly affected on the skin surface of the abdomen. So it may be nerve regeneration. It doesn't sound like a hernia. It is probably the bouncing around with running aggravating a nerve end. Go back to your PS and have the spot checked. My guess is that it will slowly resolve over time and just become a bad memory. All the best, Dr. Joe

Answer: Numbness or tingling following mommy makeover It is quite common to experience numbness or tingling following tummy tuck with mommy makeover. Many patients report feelings of numbness for up to a year following tummy tuck. I would not be concerned but you can certainly mention this to your operative physician at your next post operative visit.Best of luck,
