I am almost a year post ba. I have very little sensation in one if my nipples. Is there a chance that I will regain sensation? I Hope that I do!! :/
Answer: Numbness after surgery Dear guapisima,numbness is very common. It depends on the operation but often times sensation can return in a couple of weeks, a year, or not at all. Nipple sensation itself is very important and can sometimes be lost with breast surgery. This is often mentioned in the risks of the consent process. I imagine your numbness is just temporary although I would have to examine you.Daniel Barrett, MD

Answer: Sensation Issues After Breast Augmentation guapisima. Sorry you’re having this issue. While temporary sensation issues are fairly common after breast augmentation, normal sensation usually returns after 6 to 12 months. Since you are just one year post surgery, sensation may still return. Follow up with your plastic surgeon. Best of luck.

Answer: A year out- nipple sensation loss should be considered permanent Nerves in the breast which provide nipple/areola sensation can go through a healing process if bruised which can take 3 months or so. they can also sometimes regenerate if cut, but by a year out- sensation generally "is what it is".

Answer: Breast and nipple sensation A large majority of women who have numbness or reduced sensation involving their breasts or nipples after augmentation experience improvement or a return to baseline within a year. While it is still possible for you to recover further sensation, it is less likely that it will change at this point. Sorry.

Answer: Nipple Sensation Great question. Some patients do report reduced sensation after surgery, but it usually returns within a few weeks or months. If the sensation has not returned within a year, it is unlikely to return.
