Asked By:Eclectic208721 in San Francisco, California

I lost all sensation in my breasts after my breast augmentation (13 years ago) and sadly, it never returned. The surgery was subglandular at the recommendation of my surgeon and she claims that she didn’t cut any nerves… is there anything that can be done to retain feeling? Is this normal? I feel like I lost a part of myself as a result of this procedure.
