I had breast augmentation 2 weeks ago, and my nipples and a large part of my breasts are numb. Is this normal, and will it go away? I started as a 34A, and had 375 cc's, putting me currently in the C-D range. I'm about 5'5', 120 lbs, light frame. My skin feels really tight, like it still hasn't stretched enough, and sometimes I feel like I have a tiny bit of heat rash on them. The crease scars still hurts a little, but nothing unbearable. More than anything, I want the sensation to return. Any advice?

CONTACT NOW Answer: Decrease In Sensation It is not uncommon to have some degree of a decrease in sensation in breasts after a breast augmentation surgery. Some people may not experience much of this and some people may experience it more than others. The amount of time needed for sensation to return also varies between people. The tightness should also improve as you continue to heal, your breast tissue will adapt to the implants and they should become softer and more relaxed.Hope this helps,Ali Rıza Öreroğlu, MD FEBOPRASEuropean and Turkish Board Certified Aesthetic, Plastic and Reconstructive SurgeonIstanbul, Turkey

Answer: Your Numbness Will Likely Go Away Yes, given that you are only 2 weeks out of surgery, this is common enough, so you do not have to worry. It can take several weeks to months for the numbness to completely go aw My best advice is to be patient and to try not to worry. But, if you are truly concerned, you should contact your plastic surgeon and he can further advise you. I hope that answers your question on numbness after surgery. It’s great that you’re doing this research. I always say that the best patients are informed patients. You might also want to research your options for breast implants. Choosing the right implant is the number one concern among women considering breast augmentation. Did you know, there’s actually a way to select a implant shape, size, and profile that is perfect for you? A term that I use with my patients for the perfect implant is the “Pony Implant”. So what do I mean by “perfect”? Well, a Pony Implant has three qualities to it. First, the implant meets your beauty goals. For example, you want to your breasts to look fuller while still appearing natural. Second, when you chose your Pony Implant, you walk out of your consultation 100% confident that you’ve chosen the right shape and size for you. In other words, you won’t be second guessing your decision, and you won’t be afraid of having gone too big or too small. And third, after your procedure, you are thrilled with your results, and say, "I’m so happy. This is exactly what I wanted!" That’s the Pony Implant. And the great news is that there is a simple process to go about finding yours. This issue of selecting the right implant is so important when it comes to patient satisfaction or dissatisfaction that, again, I really encourage you to learn more about it. Thank you for reading and best of luck on your journey!

Answer: Nipple and Breast Numbness After Breast Implant Surgery It is still quite early in your recovery. Your #healing will continue for 2-3 months for the early period. This includes some #swelling, bruising, malposition, color differences. Sensation may also be abnormal and scars will be evolve. #Tingling, burning or shooting pains, which will disappear with time and should not alarm you and indicate regeneration of the sensory nerves. If these sensations cause pain, repeated, local self-massage per your surgeon's instructions may help. However, #textured implants do not require breast #massage and if massage is recommended, you will be informed more about it during your post-operative visit. Further, if you have concerns about your healing, or pain that you question to be unusual, it is important to call your plastic surgeon to discuss these further asked to be examined.

Answer: Nipple Numbness after Breast Implants Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, numbness is a potential complication following any surgical procedure. When it comes to the breasts the numbness is usually temporary but it can take several weeks to months to years to resolve. Because you are so early on in the healing process, I would recommend being patient and remember that things will settle down and you should see improvement over the next few weeks. Any concerns however big or small should be addressed with your operating surgeon. Congratulations on your breast augmentation and best of luck on your recovery.

Answer: Loss of sensation Loss of sensation in the nipple/areola is fortunately an uncommon occurrence.In my experience, permanent loss of of sensation may be due to stretching of the sensory nerves by using very large implants causing a stretch injury or pressure on the nerves, extent of dissection which can damage the nerves, and the size of implant. I find that the location of the incision is not usually the reason for loss of sensation.Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon is important when considering surgery, as it will lower your chances of complications.
