I had a breast lift + implant 2yrs ago. *I feel my areolas are obviously unsymmetrical and stretched - my nipples are pretty flat *I’ve lost 80% sensation (can I get this back?) *My left breast sits squarely and lower. My biggest concern are my nipples flatness. Please advise me if there anything surgically that can be done to treat any of the issues. NB- Ive tried, but My surgeon has totally abandoned me :-(
