Could I have permanent nerve damage 3 years after Vaser liposuction? (Photos)

August 3, 2018
Asked By:HailieAnn in USA

Both arms suffer from: -Constant numbness: armpits-elbows -Pulling sensations when reaching or pulling -Occasional bursts of sharp pain -My hands get pins & needles very quickly if I apply any pressure/bend at the elbows or hold my arms above my shoulders -Irritated when exercising (running,etc.) Surgeons told me: nerves would heal themselves, be patient. Treated me with multiple PRP sessions & heat over 2yrs. Is this permanent? Can the damage be seen on an MRI? Are treatments available?
