  • 8 Oct 2009

I had the surgery 2 months before my 21st birthday and to be honest it was the best decision I've made and I don't regret it one bit! I look at photos of me before and I'm so glad I went ahead with it.

I did make sure that I did my research and made an informed decision that was right for me. My PS was fantastic (did it in Australia) and I haven't felt any pain only very minor discomfort and that started about 2 months after the surgery when I stopped waring the supportive bra.

The only negative i can find is not being assertive enough with the PS about the size I wanted as they're abit bigger than I would've liked.

Had a breast reduction 3 months ago and still have no nipple sensation and am worried! PS assured me that he used the method that preserves the nipple. I was a 10G cup, weigh about 60 kg and am about 160 cm in height.
Great review?

I made sure I had a very close look at their pre- and post- op photos, that played a huge part in the decision that I made.

Mine are numb too, 3 months after surgery. I understood that it was possible, but now I "understand" it in a very different way. I'm unpartnered right now, but I know that sex in the future will be very different, as breast and nipple play was so marvelous in getting me "hot." I'm still happy with how I LOOK tho, and the clothes I'm able to wear.

With any breast surgery there is a possibility of loss of sensation.you must know that going in. you may regain some sensation in one year. The sensatio to the nipple comes from the fourth intercostal nerve. we know the course it taks to the nipple but we do not see it during surgery.
