2 years post-op - Numbness and itching on lower breasts.

January 9, 2025
Asked By:Kariin

I had breast reduction-lift surgery on February 7, 2023, at 23. I regained nipple sensation after a week, but still don’t feel the lower part of my breasts. Occasionally, I experience itching—could it signal improvement? It’s been over a year, I’m concerned. I followed all post-op instructions and wore the compression bra. The surgeon didn’t reduce them as much as I asked, citing aesthetic concerns. I hope to have another surgery later. Can sensation return, and is follow-up surgery possible?
