Breast & nipple numbness 3mo post breast lift w/implants. Is there anything I can do to get some back some feeling?

Changes in sensation can occur after breast augmentation, but generally the sensation returns or at least improves as healing resolves. It can sometimes take up to a year for this to occur. If there are no changes after that time, the change may be permanent.

permanent changes in nipple sensation are a risk with breast lifting/reduction procedures. There is a higher risk of this happening in larger reductions, or more aggressive breast lifts where the nipple is being moved large distances or in revision surgery. Larger implants typically also put more strain on the nerves of the breast, which can affect sensation. If you had a primary breast lift with small volume implants, it is likely sensation will return. However, without knowing what was done surgically (pedicle used, implant placement- above/below the muscle) it is difficult to say for sure. Nerve recovery can be a very slow process, so at 3 months it is still very likely that you will see improved recovery of sensation.
