My right side feels fine but my left armpit, side breast, arm goes numb all the time. Is this normal? Will it go away? What can I do to help it?
Answer: Arm numbness after breast augmentation At only 1 week after after breast augmentation patients occasionally have some of these symptoms. When an axillary incision is used for breast augmentation, there can be stretch on the sensory nerves which can take a few weeks to go away. I would discuss these symptoms with your plastic surgeon because your symptoms may or may not relate to your operation.

Answer: Numbness after breast augmentation I occasionally see numbness after breast augmentations and usually it is transient. There however can be other causes that need to be ruled out. A visit with your surgeon is very important here to be sure nothing is being missed.

Answer: Numbness of arm pit 1 week after breast augmentation Thank you for your question. I suggest you see her plastic surgeon for an examination and explanation. During breast augmentation especially through the transaxillary approach pressure is exerted on the sensory nerves to the arm and arm pit area. These changes postop are usually transitory but you need an exam and opinion by your plastic surgeon.

Answer: Numbness in armpit My question here is which way was the implant inserted? If it was through the armpit, it is normal to have some numbness there that will resolve with time.
