After breast augmentation/lift, one nipple is very painful when it's cold. Any suggestions?

Nerve regeneration after breast surgery varies with some patients experiencing hypersensitivity while others have decreased sensation. Usually this will resolve with time. #PlasticSurgery #BreastAug #nipplesensitivity #Nerves 

Hi,

Thanks for posting your question. I am happy to try and help you. It is important
to remember that a board certified plastic surgeon will be your best resource
when it comes to an accurate assessment of your situation, and concerns.

Having said that, I am sorry to learn about your pain. It seems like you are
having some nerve sensitivity and vascular phenomenon going on. Do you smoke? If you do I would stop and see if this resolves.  As for the sensitivity, you should not shy away from touching the nipple, by touching it the nerve will eventually calm down. If you keep it too protected, it tends to take longer to resolve.You are a year out from your last surgery so hopefully you may still get some more relief over time.If you feel something is wrong, you
should absolutely call your PS.

Best wishes,

Dr. Michael J. Brown
