I'm considering having a Tummy Tuck to repair my diastatis recti. I'm mostly concerned about issues related to nerve pain and numbness following the procedure. From your experience how many patients end up with chronic nerve pain / hypersensitivity that negatively impacts their quality of life? How is it typically managed if it develops?
Its been 8 months since my tummy tuck. I had my abs repaired after they separated with 3 pregnancies. My concerns are, Im still numb from just above my belly button down to the incision. Is that normal? And from what I can feel above my belly button, my abs are very tight and a bit sore to touch still. Even flexing or doing ab workouts at the gym doesnt feel right. Almost feels like your muscles being sore after a heavy workout that never goes away.
Tummy tuck 2.5 years ago. Always had some lower abd numbness. Now has spread to entire abdomen accompanied with nausea and intermittent twisting pain in LLQ Hx of C-section and hernia repair. Is the numbness spreading normal? Related to tummy tuck or most likely separate issue?
I had a tummy tuck Jan 2021. I still numb till this day and I am ok with that. Periodically I will get a strong itch under the surface of my skin on my belly button. Because I am still numb I cannot get rid of the itch. It comes and goes and over the time of having it done I have put it down to nerve damage. Could this happen, still after 2 years? Im worried it could be a sign of cancer.
On July 29th 2020 I got a tummy tuck and lipo 360 in Dominican republic. I got drained with a syringe by my doctor once, after he told me everything was good and that I was fine to travel which was about 42 days after my procedure. I headed back to the United States, which is where I reside then I noticed a bulge on my abdomen and painful so I travel back to the Dominican republic, but he said there was no fluid there, two years and six months later I still feel pain on my upper abdomen area

I'm very concerned about the numbness in the scar or loss of feelings in new skin. I think it's not uncommon for the TT patients to have numbness in scar. But one of them says the numbness would be forever but she could be wrong. I remember feeling numb in the very little scar on my finger from accident when I would rub until it took at least five years and no more numbness. Does it happen with different scars than tummy tuck? Can they have full feelings back in tummy tuck like before surgery?
Hello I have a lower abdominal bulge that does not seem to be swelling. It is hard at all times and very numb. I am sucking in in the first photo to demonstrate the curve I have but the other photos are of me relaxed. My surgeon says swelling but I fear this is failure or something else. How can I find out what truly is the cause my surgeon is 2000 miles away. I am very unhappy as I though it was swelling and has no improvement and I was diligent about compression and ab board. Please help.
I had back surgery at 15 due to having two herniated discs on my sciatic nerves located near my tailbone. This has caused me to not being able to exercise without being in a lot of pain & my legs go numb on me or no feeling at all. I've been to pain management, physical therapy, & chiropractor. I have seen professional trainers for 2 months and no improvements in a flatter stomach. 226lbs-2019 181-2021 dieting and anti-depressant that doesn't make you hungry is how I lost weight. Can't lose more.
Hi, I made a TT 2 days ago. Since I woke up from the surgery I noticed that the outer side of my left thigh was numb, I thought that this was due to the surgery itself and that it would pass.My thight now is not only numb but I got a burning feeling specially when I sit down which goes down to the knee. They told me that a nerve was pinched and it will take time to recover. How long will it take and what can I do to releive the burning feeling? Thanks in advance!
