Can the numbness in my breasts be resolved by explantation?

Phenomenal604002
I had breast implants in July 2016 and have since had a lot of numb patches and hardly feel any sensation besides pain which I have just accepted and try not to think about as it is upsetting. One is worse than the other but it no longer feels nice to have them touched. Is there a chance sensation may one day return if I have an explant? Does the numbness mean my surgeon wasn’t careful. I went from around a C cup to DD/E I think 325cc silicone was used
