Twitching and Jerking Post-Tummy Tuck surgery
After having Tummy Tuck surgery, I am having twitching and jerking in my arms hands and legs. Is this normal? Could this be tissue damage?
Unusual post-op symptom
Tissue damage for abdominoplasty would typically be limited to the operated area. This could include skin, muscle, fascia and possible in extreme cases even internal organs. It would be highly unusual for any of that to affect your muscles or neurologic system. This may be a more systemic effect from a medication you are taking. You should inform your treating surgeon immediately. I hope this helps.
