I have numbness in the right side of my face after tummy tuck surgery. Is this normal?

Question

Hi and thanks for the question. If you had other procedures done at the same time as your tummy tuck like liposuction that would require different positions while you were asleep some temporary numbness is possible. However this is not a routinely experienced symptom and you should notify your surgeon. Best of Luck - Dr Hardy...

Hi, a very good question. This is not normal you should consult a neurologist to get an evaluation for this.This can be an event not related with the surgery.

You need to be examined immediately! Go to ER or see your surgeon NOW! Might be nothing but the risks of stroke event is a concern.
