Numbness after tummy tuck

Hi,
I had Tummy Tuck Surgery last year Jan 26th 2007.    But more than a year still i am having numbness  in lower up half of  my tummy.  Sometimes I feel some movements(it was tickling).  Is that normal?  or need to worry.  Please i need help.

Persistent lower abdominal numbness following a tummy tuck is not uncommon.  No need to worry about the unusual feeling you were experiencing.

At sixteen months post tummy tuck, it is not clear if your numbness will resolve.
