Hi! I want to get a breast reduction in December. I'm afraid of being unable to breastfeed after and losing sensation. Is it possible for nipples to not be able to become hard afterwards? I know it seems silly but I don't want that to happen! How common is it to be unable to breast feed? I am seeing a board certified surgeon with over 30 years of experience and great reviews.

Answer: Nipple sensation after breast reduction surgery. Experiencing a complete loss of nipple sensation after breast surgery is rare. With that said, it may take some time for the sensation to return. In rare cases due to the removal of tissues and skin, nerves can be damaged. Especially when the incision is made around the nipple, it might be more challenging to preserve the nerves.

Answer: Nipple sensation after breast reduction, afraid of losing sensation. Advice? Changes in nipple or breast sensation are possible breast reduction surgery risks. For the vast majority of patients, breast reduction will not cause a loss of feeling in the nipple or areola. These changes may be temporary or permanent.

Answer: Bellesoma Breast reduction uses a central mound not a pedicle The technique I recommend for breast reduction is The Bellesoma Method. This will reduce and reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. The weight of the breast is transferred to the underlying pectoralis major muscle resulting in pain relief without excessive reduction. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Approximately 5% of patients who lose nipple sensation lose it in one nipple and not both. In terms of being able to breast feed, someone who never had surgery cannot breast feed, so there is no guarantee. However, this technique does not undercut the major ducts and there is no pedicle technique but I use a central mound.

Answer: Breast reduction The lids of sensation is one of the risks of breast reduction. It is hard to say what the risk is, maybe five percent. However, it depends on the technique used, how much breast tissue removed and how far the nipple is shifted, the larger the reduction the greater the risk,
