Breast sinsitivitie loss after breast implant surgery.
Losing full sensation is very rare. However there is a small possibility of losing sensation. Usually you will experience hypersensitivity for about 3 months after surgery and then the sensation will be back to normal. Your nipple and or breast skin might partially lose sensation. It may take up to two years for full sensation to return.

Nipple sensation after breast augmentation.
Nipple sensation can change following any breast operation. Some numbness can occur following augmentation, although in most patients this returns to normal. Regardless, nipple sensitivity changes are a known complication with any breast operation and should be discussed with your surgeon before surgery.

It is common after breast reduction (but typically improves in a few weeks) and less common after breast augmentation (but typically also improves).

Nipple Sensation after Breast Augmentation

In breast reduction surgery, there is a single digit percentage of patients that will have some lessening of feeling in the nipple areolar area after surgery, and the chance is higher in larger...

Sensation Loss after Augmentation
Any breast surgery including augmentation carries a small but definite risk of sensation change, ranging from diminished sensation to altered sensation to total loss of sensation. The incidence is small for total loss of sensation. Larger implants relative to your chest width carry a higher incidence of sensory change.

That depends on the size of the implant if you are getting a breast augmentation
If the breast surgery you are having is a breast augmentation the loss of sensitivity in the nipple is dependant on how large your implants will be. To create a pocket for very large implants the surgeon will have to open tissues on the side of the chest where the nipple nerves come from. While ther is no hard and fast rule, implants over 500 to 600 cc's and up need to have that kind of room and you may loose your feeling as a result. On the other hand your feelings of...
