No Nipple Erection After Breast Lift

rnuchMay 8, 2010
Had bilateral breast lift in Dec. '09 (no implants). Have notice more hardened scar tissue at 12 o'clock in right breast which elicites no response to cold or touch, meaning no erection. Should scar be removed to make nipple look "normal" due to normal changes in environment?
