Numbness After Surgery - Beauty and the Surgeon Episode 171

Numbness after surgery is very common. Some causes of numbness are on purpose, like anesthesia and nerve blocks. Nerves also get disrupted and damaged during surgery, and it takes time for those to heal. Don't panic! Educate yourself! Dr. Martin and Amy talk about how your nervous system works and why you're numb.

Amy, are you sure you're just a nutritional therapy counselor? :-) I've watched a number of your podcasts and your knowledge of biology, plastic surgery procedures, etc...goes far beyond nutrition. Very impressive!

Thank you, Oivey! ❤️

This was so great! I had a lower fave lift and neck lift October 2023. It is May 19 and I still am somewhat numb with muscular tightening around jowls and neck . I loved the anatomy of the nerves! Thank you !

Does Amy have a video on tapping for numbness? Are we to tap where it's numb?
