I am 34 and thinking about getting breast implants mostly to even out my chest (one breast is a C-cup, the other is a B-cup). I want my breasts to look better and more symmetrical, but I am really scared of losing sensation in this area. What I want to know is - Will breast implants cause me to lose sensation in my breasts? Is there anything I can do to avoid this, or is it inevitable if I undergo breast augmentation? Thanks a lot!

Answer: Breast sensation after breast augmentation Thanks for your question. There are two different issues here: nipple sensation and breast sensation. Nipple sensation as supplied by very specific nerves, and it is very unlikely (although not impossible)for this to be harmed during a breast augmentation. Skin around the nipple is supplied by multiple small sensory nerves. It is not uncommon for some of these to be damaged or stretched during a breast augmentation, and this sensation almost always recovers completely.

Answer: Nipple Sensation Following Breast Augmentation There are risks associated with any surgical procedure, however, the risk of losing nipple sensation following breast augmentation is extremely low. Depending on the incision used for the procedure you may experience nipple hypersensitivity or decreased sensation in the lower breast. Results vary from patient to patient, but any sensation changes should be temporary.
