Coming to a conclusion on if I want to go through with implants, been to 3 consults. I have moderate tuberous breasts. A cup, 5’6”, 157 lbs, 25 years old. Big fear is about permanent nipple sensation loss. May need Ariola reduction with smaller implant. I understand nothing is certain, but is it more than a 4% chance I have permanent nipple sensation loss? How common is permanent with small / tuberous breasts? Looking at 285, 300, 320, ccs.Goal is to be big B/ small C. 335 too much?

Answer: Rare to have a permanent decrease or loss of nipple sensation. For most- no change After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon' s experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what is right for them. Whichever you close, it takes 3 to 5 weeks to get used to before you feel the implants are part of you. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Answer: Implants placed behind the muscle When implants are placed in front of the muscle, for treatment of tuberous breasts, then this results in cutting the main nerve supply to the nipple. You would be better off with implants behind the muscle. The areolas can be reduced by using a circumareola approach.
