I had scar revision surgery in the form of a w plasty on my left arm and a z plasty an my right.
I felt very rushed an uninformed through the whole procedure being given next to no post operative wound care information.
Four months later and I'm having terrible pain up my arms also pins and needle feelings in half my hands as well pain in the area of the wounds.
I can't use my arms much and feel it could be nerve damage, I urge people to think very carefully before having cosmetic style surgery and do your homework. My surgeon is not helping me with problem and still has not diagnosed me.

Thank you for your valuable advice. Have you yet gone back to the surgeon about the post-surgical complications? You said the surgeon is not helping you. What exactly do you mean?
