I have read that loss of sensitivity is possible with implants. And I realize that breast augmentation through fat grafting can achieve a limited result regarding the size. However, if the risk of losing sensitivity is out of question, could far grafting be the answer?
Answer: Nipple sensation Always and never are words that you wont hear in surgery, there are always risks but these risks are very small

Answer: Loss of sensation Loss of sensation in the nipple/areola is fortunately an uncommon occurrence.In my experience, permanent loss of of sensation may be due to stretching of the sensory nerves by using very large implants causing a stretch injury or pressure on the nerves, extent of dissection which can damage the nerves, and the size of implant. I find that the location of the incision is not usually the reason for loss of sensation.Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon is important when considering surgery, as it will lower your chances of complications.

Answer: Loss of nipple sensitivity There are no guarantees in surgery although the risk may be minimal or unlikely there is always still a possibility. Please seek an in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to go over your options.

Answer: Nipple sensation after fat transfer surgery Thanks for your question and interest in fat transfer. First of all, fat transfer to the breasts works extremely well and is the most natural, minimally -invasive, and longest lasting way to enhance ones breasts. As an expert and pioneer in fat transfer to the breasts, I can say the the risk of having nipple loss afterwards is basically zero. Its such a minimally invasive surgery that injury to the nerve is not really possible. I perform 1000's of cc's of fat each week (never had an issue with numbness) and women do great and love their results (and quick recovery). Best wishes.

Answer: Sensation Good question!Loss of sensation would be unlikely with fat grafting.Another consideration would be an axillary or armpit incision. Sensation to the breast, nipple and areola are usually preserved with an armpit scar. A larger difference could be achieved using an implant vs. fat grafting as well.
