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

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.

These are probably questions best answered by your operative surgeon. He/She would probably have the best insight into your incision type, which may be the source of some of your skin numbness, but not your nipple numbness. Generally, implant placement is what places the nerve to your nipple at risk. Usually, the numbness is temporary.
