My nipple is numb. What is the possibility that the feeling will come back?

Hello.Since it has only been a few months, there may be some sensation that returns-- I have had patients tell me they noticed increasing sensation for up to a year.After that, it would be unlikely. There are usually some twinges that you may notice in the next few months.Good luck.

I always explain to patients that there is going to be some changes to
nipple sensation with a breast reduction. Usually that sensation returns to
near normal. There are a small percentage of patients that lose sensation to
one or both nipples (although it seems to be more common in just one side).
This seems to be related to the size of reduction (larger volume reduction
>700 grams is more likely to lose sensation). In addition technique can also
impact loss of sensation. I find that preserving the central breast tissue has
a lower rate of nipple sensation lose. I would give it another 3 to 6 months to
see if you regain some sensation.
