Hello,
As these feelings are common of tingling and numbness post the closure of the incision and there is no nerve damage done while doing the procedure.
Stay relaxed and get the implant removed by the next visit.
After implant removal, do simple exercise for regaining the muscle strength to normal levels.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
