Talk to surgeon: Hi, 2 weeks is still fresh post-op. I would call the surgeon's office ans either ask to talk to her/him or get an office visit. The best person to answer your question is the surgeon who performed the procedure and is familiar with the surgical pathology encountered.Get well soon

Yes: It will take a few weeks to month for all sensations to improve and settle down. This is normal after most types of surgeries.
