I have a very slim, trim figure and nothing to complain about there but I always wanted bigger breasts. I started saving up after college and went two months ago for the surgery.

The procedure was fine and I didn’t have much trouble following any of the post-op instructions. I think, given what I’ve read most women go through, I got out pretty easy as far as pain too. My breasts were swollen for a while (still are, I guess) but I even liked their size when they were like this. My husband likes the size too and my doctor says I will eventually go down to a very full D cup (I was a small B). This is exactly what I was hoping for size-wise and I’m glad my doctor was skilled enough to get me there. Filling the implants is a guessing game and I could have ended up with a cup size I didn’t want!

My only problem so far has been what I think I feared the most – I’ve lost all sensation in one of my nipples! The other one is fine but I can’t get the right nipple to react at all. My doctor says this is normal but I really hope the feeling comes back. I feel “wrong” without nipple sensation, as funny as that sounds! I think I would rather be too sensitive (that can happen too) then have none at all.

This is my only complaint so far. I am happy with my new breasts and if the feeling comes back in my nipple then I will be happy with the procedure.

Hi, I had the same problem about loosing sensation - my doctor said it was coming back but it never did -

The sensation will never come back. How can it be worth it if you have no more sensation? You will have to have them replaced and then will be left with no sensation in both breasts. Don't have breast implants put in. It is a huge mistake that I made and cannot undo.

this happens too soo many people and i think is a very under rated side effect... it will not come back i dont even understand why your doctor is giving you false hope. for many the trade off is fine to them ...pretty boobs? who cares if you cant feel your nipples.. i just think you should be willing to make that trade of when you decide to make the plunge into getting breast implants.

Suffered a severe compound fracture ankle break 10 yrs ago that required 2 surgeries, steel plates etc. As I healed I noticed numbness and tingling across foot, into my toes. Hated the feeling. Dr said it was nerve damage due to extensive surgery I needed, MIGHT go away as sometimes nerves re-generate, however he was not optimistic. It did not. This is the issue you are facing, there was some collateral nerve damage during surgery that led to the loss of sensation in nipple. It IS a risk of ANY surgery, nerves will get nicked or cut. Most Dr's know that in this scenario the sensation will never fully come back if at all.
