Fat transfer for breast enhancement, do you lose nipple sensation?

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

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
