Is it okay to get nipples pierced after breast reduction?

Asked By:maddymesa1515 in Morgan Hill, CA

I got my breast reduction in December of 2014, I went from an H cup to a C/D cup. I had no complications with the surgery and my scars are no longer pink and are healing very well. Would it be okay to get my nipples pierced? I don't have any sensitivity in either of them anymore and I'm hoping that it would change that.
