Has anyone experienced permanent pain/numbness from arm surgery?

I just had my plastic consult on Thursday and the plastic surgeon told me not only is one drawback from the brachioplasty bad scars, but since the area they cut houses the nerve endings, a lot of patients experience a permanent numbness and/or pain along the scar line. Has anyone that had this procedure had this complication? Any pictures you can share with me of your scars?
