Will my nipple sensation stop hurting and return as normal?

Hello!Congratulations on your decision to remove your implants. The sensitivity you are feeling is not uncommon. Typically this should start calming down and resolves over the course of 1 year. In the meantime you can do things to control the sensitivity - apply ice packs/frozen peas to the side of the chest the help numb the nerve that supplies the nipple- do this for 20 minutes 2-3 times a day as needed, take over the counter ibuprofen as needed as an anti inflammatory and wear compression when working out. Any swelling in that area will aggravate the nerve specially during your menstrual cycle. If the pain is not tolerable then sometimes a medrol dose pack can be prescribed by your pcp/surgeon. You can also protect the nipples by wearing nipple patches/covers that stick on. Hope this helps Dr Dev

I'm sorry to hear of the discomfort you are experiencing. I encourage you to speak to your surgeon about tactile desensitization. There are techniques that when done consistently can calm the nerves down. If not you can consider medication to help alleviate the hypersensitivity.
