If you do a fat transfer for breast enhancement are your nipples removed and if so is there another alternative to this as I would like to keep my feeling in my breast as it connected with arousal.

Answer: Breast Fat transfer facts and nipple sensation--Water-assisted Harvesting, Body Jet No, in this type of treatment you shouldn't lose nipple sensation. However, gentle harvesting is important to get the most viable fat to transfer. I use water-assisted harvesting that increases the viability and survival of the fat for transfer. See an expert for a formal evaluation. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Fat transfer for breast enhancement, do you lose nipple sensation? Hello,Thanks for your question. If you are having fat transfer to the breast for a simple breast augmentation, the nipple generally does not need to be surgically moved. In this case, the incidence of numbness should be quite rare. If your surgeon believes you need a nipple areola complex lift to center the NAC onto the new breast shape, then the risk of numbness goes up. Discuss this with your surgeon.Good luck,Dr. Shah
