NO

There are studies showing that there is an increased risk in losing sensitivity the larger the implant. However, it is uncommon. Being a surgeon in Las Vegas, it is common for us to go from a B cup to a D cup or even from and A cup to a D cup. It is best to pick the size that makes you happy, and understand that loss of some nipple sensitivity is possible with any breast augmentation.

Will I Lose Nipple Sensitivity With A D Cup?

Dear BabyDoll22, Going from a B to a D cup will not necessarily increase your risk of losing nipple sensation. The risk is more importantly related to your specific anatomy. We measure chest and breast width and compare that to the size of the implant your are requesting. We make suggestions/recommendations based on that information. Please discuss this with your surgeon and I'm sure they will help guide you with your decision.

Going from a B to a D is unlikely to significantly change nipple sensation, beacause if the implant size. Remember, ANY breast surgery can change nipple sensitivity.

Larger implants

Loss of nipple sensation can happen with any breast surgery. It is thought that with stretch (using larger implants) this may contribute as well. Hard to say for sure.

You need to weigh the importance of being a D cup against the importance of choosing a 'safe' sized implant, one that is matched to your anatomy. Best of luck!

Choosing your Breast Size

I think the most important decision a patient can make (when you have decided to proceed with breast augmentation surgery) is choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon whom you trust and can communicate with. Once you develop this trust and communicate your goals clearly with your plastic surgeon the specifics of the operation (including the implant model and/or range of breast implant sizes) can be decided upon. You will find that each plastic... more
