Numb under large incision?

Hi all, I have a numb sensation under the large incision? Is this normal? Not really worried, might have just been disturbed by the surgery which was on the 25/2 so over 2 weeks ago. Any comments on this would be good...

I had that too, it eventually spread across the entire front of my waistband area and went away after about a month. The large incision is where your port is. The port and tubing were sutured to your muscle wall amongst muscle and nerve so this sensation is normal.

hey there,

on the large cut, its numb, itchy were the stretch marks have been cut, and it got lovely and fleuro red and infected! although it does hurt still after a month and a bit when you lean across on it, as i still do everyday at work!

the little ones are fine, except the dissovable stich in one is out flapping in the breeze.

best of luck

I had my surgery a year ago, and I'm still numb right under the large incision where the port's located. I noticed it after someone else mentioned it. The only way I can tell it's numb is when I scratch the skin in that area, and right around the incision, I have no sensation of my skin being scratched. I asked the NP about it, and she said some people don't get the feeling back. I think it's a good thing, because my fills are completely painless.

thanks kiz,

thats a great point, i get my first adjustment in about 3 weeks, and im not a fan of needles, you have made my day!!!

thanks again
