Four years ago, I had a periareolar lift with 375 cc gel implants done. Post-op had a staph infection in my left nipple along the incision which left scarring. Now, my boyfriend can barely touch them without me cringing from the sharp, razor-like pain in both nipples. I am not enjoying the pain, the heaviness, the ugliness. I'm considering just having them extracted but am afraid of making matters worse on all accounts. Any chance that removing will decrease the pain?Looking for advice.
