Will nipples sensation come back and breasts go back to normal after explant?

Asked By:skyejones332 in England, United Kingdom

4 questions regarding implant removal - 23 y/o, 5'7, 140lb, bra size 34C/D. (Before implants: 21 y/o, 34AA) 1) Nipples have lost around 50-75% feeling. Will this ever come back? Also, after explant will the numbness worsen or improve? 2) Will they use the same scar? (Not expand/stretch it). 3) Is removal without capsulectomy safe? I am a student and this is the only option i can currently afford. 4) Will they go back to normal after explant or will they droop? Implant info- 330cc, textured, medium height, moderate plus profile, under the muscle. Thank you in advance!
