Some of the superficial cutaneous nerves have inevitably been cut through. Sensation recovery may not be complete, you will need to wait weeks of months to find out.

scars are normally numb, particularly first of all as the nerves have been cut, usually feeling will come back but maybe not 100% i still have a patch on my tongue with no feeling 20 years after having wisdom teeth out where nerves were cut. mention to doc or nurse when u have a follow up appt to check all ok

when they perform surgery, they also cut the nerves as well as the skin. those nerves don't always grow back, and if they do its a strange thing. i had surgery on my knee, and it was numb for years and years. i still have dead spots where the nerves didn't come back. the burning does go away, its just that the area is sore and healing. hope you feel better soon.

Some nerve damage or trauma is common during surgery. Feeling usually comes back eventually, could take weeks or months to return to complete normal. Taking Vitamin B6 can help hasten the nerve regeneration.

It will be scar tissue under the skin. Massage it with baby lotion every day and you should regain the feeling.

Normal. If it's still there in the future (months) then ask about it.

Ask the doctor when you go for your check-up.Forums are not the best place for medical advice,honest.
