14. My arm(s) has been numb ever since my surgery - is this caused from my breast implants?
You very well may be experiencing loss of sensitivity of some sort due to the pressure of the swelling in this area. If you have had a transaxillary incision a nerve could have possibly been severed. Alert your surgeon to any complaints of arm numbness regardless if you think it is "nothing" or not. If it is caused from the swelling or something minor, it should remedy itself as you heal - be sure to let your surgeon know of any changes.
