I'm 25 yo, 34d/400cc-U/Mu-Silicone. My previous surgery i had the incision on the aureola but only on the upper half. I want a second breast aug, looking to achieve a higher profile look, rounder breasts and perkier look. My nipples are 22 and 23 position according to the dr I consulted with. I want to move them up a little bit. He said the only way to do that is doing a full incision around the aureola to move them up. Am i going to lose sensitivity? since i already have due to my previous surg

Answer: I'm going to need a full areola incision with the called cookie cutter, is that going to kill the nerves and lose sensitivity? Thank you for the question. No, the circumareolar incision will not necessarily cause loss of sensation. The previous surgery also does not necessarily put you at increased risk for loss of sensation. Generally speaking, it is stretch or injury to the intercostal nerves (that approach the nipple/areolar complexes from the sides) that may cause change/loss of sensation. Best wishes for an outcome that you will be very pleased with.

Answer: I'm going to need a full areola incision with the called cookie cutter, is that going to kill the nerves and lose sensitivity? You state that you lost sensation from your previous breast surgery performed through the areola incision. That incision for access for the implant placement has a higher risk of nipple sensory changes/loss. However making the incision all the way around the areola does not really increase those risks because that is a skin procedure. It is the cutting through the breast tissue that increases your risks, so creating the access for the implant, not the nipple lift is what increases your risks of sensory loss. So in short, it would be about the same amount of risk as your last surgery. I hope that this helps!
