I am scheduled to have a breast reduction done at the end of May. My doctor told me there are two types of procedures they use, free nipple graft or pedicle method. They need to take a certain number of grams out to get it covered by insurance and my doctor said I would have to do the free nipple graft. The doctor said that I would lose sensation in my nipples with this method. I have read some articles that say there is a chance I would have my sensation back in my nipples.
