Numbness after C/s or surgery sites

Okay so i haven't had a c/s but I had major abdominal surgery in March and I have a few questions for you c/s ladies since my scar is quite similar to yours.

My skin is pretty numb to the touch around my incision lines. I talked to my doctor and he said it was completely normal, so I'm not worried about anything health-wise. I'm just wondering how long it took for you to regain sensation if you experienced numbness. My numbness is slowly getting better but i wanted some other opinions from you ladies! 

Anyone experience something similar, and if so how long before you regained sensation?

    My scar and the surrounding area still has some numb spots, 5 years later. It's normal :)

    Very normal.  Although it's not as numb as it used to be, there are still some spots where I still have numbness.

    It's funny b/c it's totally not something I would have expected!  Nowhere was I told (or at least remember being told) that I could be numb for years afterwards. Not that it bothers me. It's just weird :) Thanks ladies!

    I have my c/s scar and a pretty major scar on my foot from two surgeries. The second foot surgery was 3 years ago, my c/s two years ago and they're both still pretty numb.

    It's totally normal. The nerves get jacked up when they're cut, and they almost never grow back normally. 

    I like privacy. A lot.

    Hey there - 

    Well, I had a c/s 18mos ago, and I still have numbness, but it is better.  I guess I am assuming I will never feel completely "normal" at the incision site, but I am less aware of it.

    My husband had surgery on his foot & it is numb now. He said thats one of the things they don't mention about surgery. They cut those nerves when they cut & those nerves don't really connect again. Causing numbness. No matter where the surgery was on your body. Never thought of it but it makes sense.
