I got breast reduction surgery almost 3 weeks ago, and one of my biggest fears was a loss of nipple sensation. The night after surgery I gave my left one a poke and thankfully it was sensitive; hypersensitive even. My right breast on the other hand was significantly larger than my left and therefore the surgery was more extensive. Unfortunately my right nipple is still numb. No sensation at all. However it still gets erect when touched. What are the chances of getting sensitivity back?
