Will my Nipples Return to Normal Sensation if I Have Breast Implants Removed?
I had breast implants 1 1/2 weeks ago. Both breasts feel very painful to touch, particuliarly on the nipples. I'm sure that I want the implants removed. Can I do it this soon? Will my nipples ever stop hurting when I touch them and will my skin bounce back if I get them explanted very soon?

Removing your breasts implants is unlikely to give you the breasts you had before surgery and more likely to result in saggier, less full breasts.
