Is a burning and stinging sensation 8 years post breast reduction normal? Have not experienced any complications.

Plucky492446
I had a breast reduction in 2014 without any major complications except for the burning/stinging sensation that I get frequently to both nipples still. Sometimes it’s so bad that I have to put ice on them to feel relief. I haven’t noticed anything different over the years. I have great sensation to both. My plastic surgeon has retired. Is this feeling normal this long after the procedure?
