How to regaining feeling in nipple after breast augmentation?

Optimistic944916
I got a breast augmentation done last year (it's been 1 year and 4 months), going from totally flat to 295ccs. I am 5'4 and 120 pounds, so I'd say I went up approximately 2 cup sizes. I've regained feeling in my right nipple, but my left nipple is still numb and painful to touch. If I press just below the left implant I can feel nipple sensation, but if I pinch my nipple it just hurts. Does this mean I'll regain feeling? Or am I stuck with a numb and painful nipple?
