Will my nipple sensation ever return to normal? 1 year and a half since my breast lift, can this be nerve damage?

After a breast lift surgery, changes in nipple sensation can indeed occur. Nerve damage is one of the potential causes of altered sensation in the nipple and surrounding areas. Nerves can be stretched, compressed, or even severed during surgery, leading to temporary or permanent changes in sensation.
In some cases, it's possible for nerve regeneration to occur over time, leading to an improvement in sensation. However, nerve healing is a slow process and can take several months or even years. It's also important to note that not all cases of altered nipple sensation after breast lift surgery are due to nerve damage. Swelling, scarring, and other factors can contribute to these changes.
If you're concerned about your nipple sensation not returning to normal even a year and a half after your surgery, it's best to consult with a medical professional. They can examine you, possibly conduct nerve tests, and provide personalized advice based on your situation. They will be able to give you a better understanding of whether your sensation might improve over time or if there are any potential treatments or interventions that could help.

At a year and half, your sensation will not return to normal. Unfortunately, this is one of the risks of an augmentation and lift. With time, it may become less sensitive. If you have concerns, please contact your surgeon.
