Loss of sensation after periareolar incision - 9 months post-op.

Thank you very much for your question and congratulations
on your recent breast augmentation procedure. It is not uncommon for women to
experience a temporary loss of nipple sensation following a breast augmentation
procedure. It can take several months, even up to a year, before full nipple
sensation returns. However, in rare instances, some women will see permanent
numbness around the nipple/areola area. Be patient, you are still healing and
the sensation most likely will continue to improve. If you have any further
concerns, however, I suggest contacting your operating surgeon for their
advice.

Normal sensation may take up to two years to return, although usually it’s about a year. Unfortunately, numbness and some loss of sensation is a common risk.

Thank you for your question. It may take up to two years for full sensation to return as nerves can take some time to heal.
