Nerve damage in nipple? 1 year post op. Saline under muscle.

December 31, 2016
Asked By:kendelliott in Bloomington, IN

I had my breast done in October of 2015. Due to unevenness, a larger implant was placed in my left breast. Since surgery I've had numbness and loss of sensation in the lower half of my left breast. I have assumed that it was nerve damage in the breast due to the large implant. I've realized that the bottom of my left nipple doesn't get hard anymore even though the top does. Could this be from the apparent nerve damage? As I still have a little sensation in the bottom part of the entire breast.
