to be honest only your surgeon can answer that question. i recommend you call your surgeon's office and ask to speak to his or her nurse for guidance. in general any type of surgery involves cutting through the nerves of the skin. that means it's not unusual for the skin area around an incision to feel numb for a period of time after surgery. eventually those tiny skin nerves will find new pathways to the brain and the numbness will go away. i wish you all the best in getting answers from your health care provider about this!
