Breast augmentation is often performed to increase the size of the breast for aesthetic reasons. The size, shape, and position of these implants are often based on the patient’s anatomy, the type and size of the implant, and the patient's goals.In an otherwise healthy patient, permanent changes in sensation after a breast augmentation are unusual.For more information see the link below.A detailed examination will help delineate the best surgical option. Consultation with a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery would be the next best step.
Hello and thank you for your question. It is very unusual to have sensation loss after breast augmentation. Thebest advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. The size,profile, and shape of the implant is based on your desired breastsize/shape, your chest wall measurements, and soft tissue quality. This decision should be based on a detailed discussion withequal input from both you and your surgeon. Make sure youspecifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who havehad this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate theirresults. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you arecomfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualifiedboard-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.Best wishes and good luck.Richard G. Reish, M.D.Harvard-trained plastic surgeon
