After BA with mastopexy, what is the average length of time to lose sensitivity in e nipples and areolae? I’m nervous about the feeling not coming back. Also, when would a certain degree of loss be considered final?

Answer: Loss of nipple sensation Loss on nipple sensation is a well known risk of breast lift. If it is not lost but only decreased it well may return. If it is completely numb and less than 8-12 weeks it still has a fair chance of returning. If totally numb and over 12 weeks since surgery then it will be unlikely to return. Good luck.

Answer: Nipple sensation Some patients will lose sensation initially. This is often due to swelling. If this is the case, then most will return within 6-8 weeks.
