Nipple sensitivity after breast augmentation generally improves

York Jay Yates, MD answers: Pain, swelling, nipple sensitivity after breast augmentation surgery

I am 61 years old, and I had small C cup breast implants placed 3 weeks ago. My nipples and the surrounding area are now very sore and feels a very painful, burning sensation. Are these normal post-procedure? What can I do to ease the condition?

 Nipple sensitivity can be effected positively or negatively after breast augmentation.  For some, the nipples gain projection after augmentation and the rubbing on clothing or the bra increases sensitivity.  

It sounds like yours is simple dysethesia early after surgery and I would expect it to improve.
