Will post op breast reduction nipple hypersensitivity resolve or is it permanent?

May 25, 2017
Asked By:DiJoGa in Ontario, CA

I am 58 yrs old and had a BBR with auxillary lipo done through the surgical site on April 26. I am now 4 weeks post op. My surgeon used the anchor technique. My incisions look amazing and are healing well. My concern is the hypersensitivity of each nipple and surrounding skin as well as complete numbness Of the lipo areas. Will the sensitivity eventually subside? Any touching is very uncomfortable especially each nipple.
