Suggest Remedy For Tingling Sensation And Numbness In Cheek After A Plastic Surgery

Hi,
I recently had midface plastic surgery. Suffering from nerve damage, tingling and numbness on my right cheek. Is the tingling sensation the nerve repairing itself and is this too early to be concerned? It has been almost four weeks since surgery.
Thanks, Donna

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC.

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain tingling sensation on face after plastic surgery that has led to nerve damage is due to injured nerve and not due to recovery but is a symptoms of parasthesia caused due to nerve injury or nerve damage..

I would suggest you to start taking Vitamin B complex supplements daily as it will help in nerve regeneration and reformation.
Also do warm compresses over the face..

In case if you still do not find any improvement consult a Neurophysician and get evaluated and he can also advise you MRI, nerve conduction tests etc to rule out the exact condition and treat you accordingly..
Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
