Will breastfeeding be an issue if the nerve damage to my nipple doesn't heal properly and becomes permanent after my breast aug?

Asked By:berber30 in Little Rock, AR

I had a breast aug on 7/3/15. I'm 6 months post-op. The bottom half of my right breast + nipple have been numb ever since surgery. It's actually uncomfortable when anything brushes against it. There is no tingling or pain indicating the nerves are trying to "heal". Besides the loss of sensation, which sucks, I'm afraid if I ever want to breastfeed again, it won't be possible. Will breastfeeding be an issue if this nerve damage doesn't heal properly and It becomes permanent?
