Will your nipples be desensitized after having breast surgery?

It is unusual for patients to lose nipple sensation permanently following breast augmentation.  There will be some variation depending upon the technique that a surgeon uses and the individual experience of each surgeon.  There can be temporary changes but these usually resolve quickly.

Loss of nipple sensibility after breast augmentation is almost unheard of. It is fairly uncommon with breast reduction. The specific risks would be explained you by your plastic surgeon.

Thank you very much for this interesting question.Nipples sensitivity after Breast surgery may be temporarily affected (increased or decreased) due to surgical manipulation of the mammary tissue and breast swelling.This is transient and usually after a few days the sensitivity returns to normal.In my practice, I try to be as delicate as possible and perform the less aggressive surgical techniques, preserving the integrity of the mammary tissue.
