Do we lose breast sensitivity after getting silicon breast implants? I am a size A and would like a natural look, but not at the cost of losing breast sensitivity. I am considering getting small implants to get a B or small c size at the most.

Answer: Breast Sensation After Surgery Placing implants in the breast can affect the sensation to the nipple and to the skin. Fortunately, this is uncommon and usually if it does happen it is temporary and will resolve with time. You will need to decide how important this risk is versus your desire for implants. Most patients find the risk acceptable.

Answer: Sensory losses with Breast Augmentation Breast Augmentation regardless of the type of implant used may be associated with temporary or permanent loss of sensation. Most such losses are caused by traction- the pulling forward of the breast and the skin by the implant and most normalize in a few months. However, there is a small number in whom such losses and numb patches may be permanent. If you are completely unwilling to risk any loss of sensation you should not have this surgery because no ethical surgeon can assure you that however small the risk of numbness is it would not happen to you.
