Hi All,

I was wondering if any of you experienced numbness in an arm after the lift?  My left arm feels really heavy and tingles.  I cannot feel the top portion of my arm by the incision line in my armpit.

Thanks for any information,
Lisa

I had my arms done 4/8 and I still have some numbness, especially where the incisions are.  When my arms swell they feel really heavy too.

I did at first but it went away in time.

Curious if your incision is on the inner part of the arm, just in the armpit, or the back of your arm ?

Do your fingers move OK ?  Several things can cause the numbness such as swelling (which goes away) or nerve issues.  Ask your doc if it persists.

Hello Dr. L,

The scar is just in the armpit and it extends upwards.  I do not have numbness in the fingers just numbness in the inner part of my upper arm.

Thanks for the info,
Lisa
