I have had all of my plastics done over the past 2 years.    Arms, thighs, tummy, breast, bra area.  You name it ive had it.   In the past 2 months my hands and arms are falling asleep constantly.  Now I have numbness in my fingers.   Has anyone had any sensations like this?

I am trying to get a diagnosis and some help, but have wondered if it has something to do with nerves being cut in my arms and underarms.

Please let me know if you have experienced anything like this.   I am just miserable.

Did the numbness/tingling start shortly after plastic surgery or did you have your last round months ago and then it started?

I had the tingling about a week after both of my procedures where the nerves were coming back.  But not numbness or anything like that.

It might not be related to your ps.  In 91 I was dx with a ruptured disk in my lower back - that caused tingling and subsequently numbness in my left leg. 

Start with your ps.  If he/she doesn't think it's related, then go to your primary.

Have you had any recent blood work? Being low in B vitamins can cause the numbness and tingling. You should have your labs done to check your vitamin levels.

I had my arms done and cut to right below the elbow on Aug. 4th of this year.  My arms are still numb on the backside between my elbow almost all the way down to my wrist.  I don't know if I will ever get that feeling back or not.  My surgeon told me that it would take up to 6 months before I would have an idea.

Kinda sounds like what I got from Carpal Tunnel.  Do you spend a lot of time making repetative movements with your hands (painting, typing, etc.)?

Did your arms bother you too?   The dr thought it might be that also, but it bothers me all the way to the elbow.

You have "neuropathy."  The causes can be anything from inflammation, compression, nutrition, and even diabetes.  Def. need to run this by your doctor.

Problems from arm surgery are generally worse right after surgery and improve with time.
