After 4 years, my nipples are constantly erect from a breast aug. They always hurt. Can this be fixed?

October 17, 2017

Ever since my surgery, my nipples have been in pain. At first I thought it was temporary. I have to wear lined bras to hide how erect they are. Two years after the surgery, I saw my doctor and asked if he would remove some tissue behind the areola so the nipples could relax. He refused saying “but that would change the way they look. Why mess up a good thing?” Now, they still hurt as much as they did then. I think they’ve gotten bigger from constant irritation.
