My BA was 3 months ago (30 years old, 350cc silicone under muscle). I'm numb in some areas of my breasts, but I have feeling in my nipples. I had a high degree of sexual stimulation in my nipples pre-op and now it is almost non-existent. I can feel touch, but it doesn't stimulate me in the same way. This has caused a decrease in sexual libido. I'm worried I might have lost my sexual desire by cutting off nerves to my most stimulating area. Is it possible for my nerves to still regrow?
Answer: Breast Augmentation Dear lj,In addition to the good advice below, I want to mention that an article in our journal demonstrated that nipple sensation in breast patients improved up to two years after the procedure (in the patient group that was studied). So this is good news. All the best, "Dr. Joe"

CONTACT NOW Answer: Will I regain lost sexual sensitivity in my nipples after 3 months postop? One of the most commonly asked questions preceding breast augmentation is "Will I loose feeling in my breasts". When a breast augmentation is performed placement of the implant stretches the surrounding tissue. The nerves in the surrounding tissue are stretched and sometimes the outer layer of the nerves are torn and until they heal can lead to temporary numbness, a sensation of pins and needles, or uncomfortably increased sensitivity (hypersensitivity). These changes are more likely to happen when larger implants are placed and more stretching occurs. These are normally temporary problems and resolve as the nerves heal and adapt to the stretching. The chances of loss of feeling in the nipple and areola area of the same whether or not an areola incision is made or an inframammary crease incision is made. The chances are also the same whether or not the implant is placed above or below the muscle. Incisions made in the inframammary crease are more likely to cause temporary loss of feeling in the lower part of the breast.

Answer: Nipple sensation after breast augmentation I'm sorry to hear that your nipples are less sensitive. Changes in sensation are usually temporary. They'll go away in a few weeks or months. Fortunately, it is very rare that permanent changes occur.

Answer: Will I regain lost sexual sensitivity in my nipples after 3 months post-op? Because the skin around the areola has been stretched some patients may experience either sensitivity loss or heightened sensitivity. Although upsetting, the risk of permanent sensation loss is very low and can take up to 6 months to return. Give it some time and you may find over the next several weeks a tingling sensation as the feeling to the nerves around the breasts and nipples returns. Always make your surgeon aware of your concerns.

Answer: Decreased nipple stimulation The sexual stimulation from your nipples should return within the next 3 to 6 months. No one can guarantee this. The only reasonable thing to do this for us to continue to wait.
