I had a nipple sparring mastecomy. Next month I will be exchanging my tissue expanders for silicone round implants. With the expanders my nipples have been erect. I wonder if the hardness of the implants possibly is pushing up against it causing it to protude. So the question is after my exchange will my "head lights" continue to be on ?
