Nerve regeneration after breast augmentation. What is the likelihood of a full recovery? How long will it take?

August 21, 2014
Asked By:pinkpompom in Montreal, MO

I have read several answers about breast/nipple sensation being temporarily or permanently disrupted on real self. I had 300cc saline unders through tuba 5 weeks ago. The bottom right breast and bottom part of right areola have lost sensation,I can get the right nipple erect from touch, but it doesn't respond to cold, what is the likelihood of a full recovery based on what I describe and if it will return over several months do I slowly see and feel it improve or does it just improve suddenly?
