Will I regain sensation after Breast Reduction with Free Nipple Graft? Should I get a lift or liposuction on the sides? (Photo)

Without your photos and an exam it is difficult to give you an accurate answer. Free Nipple Graft is only required in reduction of massively enlarged breasts. It results in inability to breast feed, loss of sensation, loss of nipple projection, incomplete take of the nipple/areolar graft and other complications can occur with this procedure. In my practice this is a very unusual as even very large breasts can be reduced with other techniques. On the other hand this is a technique that should be considered when it is expected that there is not sufficient blood supply for the nipple and areola survival in extreme cases.

If you look like the photo you have posted, you really should not need a free nipple graft procedure. If you do decide to have the free nipple graft, you will not regain any nipple sensation. There are several other breast reduction techniques that can be utilized that will be likely to preserve your nipple sensitivity. 

Hi. Free nipple grafts are rarely used in breast reduction surgery, and certainly not if you are like the photograph you have supplied. Have a look at the photos on the gallery on the attached link - none of these needed a free nipple graft. Decreased sensation is possible with any time of breast reduction, but you will definitely not gain normal sensation after a free nipple graft. Liposuction can sometimes be performed if you wish the area on the side of the chest to be flatter. Hope this helps with your decision. Regards Dr Charles Cope
