Thank you very much for your question. Although rare, there is always a small chance for the nipple to lose sensation following a breast lift or reduction, either temporarily or in some cases, permanently.

I appreciate your question. Without pictures, difficult to comment. However, it probably means your breasts are ptotic and that you benefit from a breast lift. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that ...
Hi, Thank you for your question. It is possible to reduce your breasts to a smaller cup that will be proportional to your body frame. Most importantly, the ability to breastfeed, maintain nipple sensitivity and long term results should be considered in someone as young as you. The Horndeski...
While it is not possible to make a definitive diagnosis based on photographs alone, it does not appear that you have an obvious infection. Rather the appearance is consistent with a wound healing problem and probably associated with an ischemic injury, i.e. a blood supply/circulation problem....
