Are there options to repair nipple nerve damage?

Asked By:New80085 in Brisbane City, Queensland, Australia

5 yrs ago I had breast augmentation (subpectoral - dual plane). Since then I have had pain in my left nipple when it is touched, and almost no sensation in the right. a year after surgery I was told there were no options to fix this. Have there been any advances in the last 5 yrs? Having revision surgery to reduce size and want to investigate my options.
