Sharp nipple pain 8 months after surgery - What could this be?

Klynn203
I received a breast augmentation about 8 months ago and did have a complication. I developed a hematoma in my right breast a couple days after surgery and the implantwas immediately replaced. My healing has been pretty normal ever since with the expected soreness, but also a little more tingling and numbness around the nipple. That seemed to fade away, but now I will suddenly get bursts of shooting, sharp pain in both nipples. Is that normal? What could that be?
