Answer: Numbness post surgery Hello,Increased or lack of sensitivity to the breast is common post surgery which should have been detailed in the risks provided to you ahead of your procedure. At 4 weeks you are still early on in your recovery stages so i would not be too concerned at this point. You will need to allow time for the nerves to settle and return to normal which can take up a year in some cases.You should be seeing your surgeon again at around 6 weeks, it would definitely be worth mentioning to them your concerns at this point so they can monitor your progress.Wishing you all the best with the rest of your recovery.

Answer: 1 month post-op. After how long you can feel and have normal feeling of your skin on your breast? Usually, sensation is lost due to severed nerves during the surgery. This is usually temporary and can last up to a year to fully regain sensation on the breast area. There are some patients, however, that experience permanent sensory loss especially on the nipple area. The best course of action would be to wait for the next few months to allow the body to heal and stay in contact with your board certified plastic surgeon as he.she knows your condition best.
