Can I expect them to separate over the next six months? Also will the sensitivity calm down as time goes by? They are constantly "at attention" making their placement obvious. Btw, the surgeon removed about 750 g from each breast, and I went from an h to a big d.

Answer: I Feel Like my Nipples Are Too Close Together. I Am Two Weeks Post Breast Reduction?
At two weeks, things will change quite a bit as swelling resolves and tissues relax, but pictures or an exam would be necessary to make any meaningful statements about areolar position. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Answer: Concerns about Nipple/Areola Position after Breast Reduction Surgery?
Congratulations on having undergone the breast reduction procedure. Without direct examination or viewing pictures is not possible to advise you about the position of the nipple/areola complexes. Unfortunately, although the breast will certainly change over the course of the next several months, it is not possible to state that the nipple/areola complexes will “separate” with time. Generally speaking, hypersensitivity of the nipple/areola complexes do tend to settle down over the course of the first year after breast reduction surgery.
Best to follow-up with your plastic surgeon who is in a much better position to advise you.
Best wishes.
