Breast Lift and Feeling
Ask your surgeon what their experience is with this complication. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author. RealSelf Distinguished Hall of Fame Inductee. Philadelphia, Pa., USA
In the majority of breast lifts, incisions deep into the breast tissue, where the nerves are, are rarely done. Therefore, interruption of the nerve supply to the nipple and areola rarely happens. There can be some slight numbness along the suture line, but this usually returns in 6 to 9 months. Best wishes.
